2. Data Protection Disclaimers / Privacy & Security
Not to be confused with your standalone privacy policy, effective eCommerce terms of service should include your privacy and security terms. This data protection/privacy clause should clearly state what personal information of your shopper you use and store, and how it is protected.
This clause deals with the legality of your standalone privacy policy, including things like how your store brand handles things like security control, privacy policy changes, and lists of legal disclosures. Alternatively, some are very short and include something like this: “Please refer to our Privacy Policy [linked] for our full privacy and security practices.”
3. Delivery Terms
The delivery terms clause of the eCommerce terms and conditions is also often referred to as the ‘shipping policy’ and includes the basic shipping/delivery policy for your online store. These can be short and concise, or more comprehensive. Some brands opt to add just a simple line directing shoppers to a separate shipping/delivery document.
4. Payment Terms
This is where you outline how payments are made when a shopper purchases a product from your store and includes the terms and conditions involved in the payment. In other words: the full payment needs to be made by [payment term], after which orders will be dispatched. This can also include special fees or billing charges, shipping taxes, and more that may be relevant.
5. Billing Information Terms and Conditions
Billing accuracy is an essential clause for your terms and conditions template. This is where you outline your policy on restrictions based on sales quantities per person, as well as what the buyer is agreeing to, such as ensuring that they are providing complete, current, and accurate account information.
6. Product Information
Comprehensive eCommerce terms and conditions should include a clause outlining the product/s (or service/s) you’re selling. Here you can use a general policy and disclaimers and outline specific restrictions relating to your products, such as products that may be age-restricted, or warranty information.
7. Liability Limitations
Every eCommerce T&Cs has to include a liability disclaimer. This clause protects eCommerce business owners like yourself from liability beyond the transaction, and will also outline warranty information and other limitation disclaimers. In layman’s terms, this is where you state that your store is not responsible for any liability, loss, personal injury, damage, or expense that the customer may suffer after the transaction.
