The Legal stuff you need to add to your website
I know its boooorring, but much like flossing, you need to do it!
Any business with a website - even a site that isn’t actually selling goods or services - must include certain details in order to abide by the Electronic Commerce Regulations.
Website legal documents explain things such as: Who owns site content, choice of legal location, what happens in case of a refund, details on shipping, warranty info and more.
I’ve had various types of legal documents on my websites over the years, however it took a while to find the perfect solution - Termly. A fabulous compliance solution for small businesses, including a:
Privacy Policy Generator
Terms and Conditions Generator
Disclaimer Generator
Return Policy Generator
Cookie Consent Manager
I use the paid-for version - as any legal updates are automatically integrated into my policy documents by Termly - however there’s a free version, which I was really impressed with too, but you can only create one policy for free.
