Frequently Asked Questions
Is a Terms & Conditions document mandatory?+
While not always mandatory by law, having Terms & Conditions is highly recommended. It protects your business, limits liability, establishes rules for service usage, and is required by payment processors and app stores. It's a best practice for any online service.
What's the difference between T&C and Privacy Policy?+
Terms & Conditions govern how users can use your service and your liability, while a Privacy Policy explains how you collect and handle personal data. Both are necessary and serve different purposes. Users should have access to both documents.
Can I change my Terms & Conditions after users accept them?+
Yes, you can update your Terms & Conditions, but you should notify users of significant changes. Keep a version history and clearly indicate when changes were made. Users continuing to use your service after notification typically constitute acceptance of the new terms.
Are Terms & Conditions legally binding in India?+
Yes, Terms & Conditions are legally binding contracts in India under the Indian Contract Act 1872, provided users have accepted them. They must be clearly displayed, easy to understand, and not contain unreasonably unfair terms that violate consumer protection laws.
