Every website should have a Terms & Conditions on their website- the contract that governs the website. Technically, this is the contract between you, and the users of your website.
While not a federal requirement, I make sure all of my clients have a Terms and Conditions on their website, along with a privacy policy.
If you don’t have a website Term & Conditions (the agreement the governs how your website visitors may and may not use your website,) you’re leaving your site content wide open to copycats to have a field day. A Website Terms & Conditions policy is your best line of defense against copycats and other common website issues.
