Important Considerations and Customization (Very Important!)

  • Legal Review is Mandatory: This is a template. You MUST have a legal professional review this and make the necessary adjustments.
  • Website-Specific: This needs to be tailored to the specific features and functionality of your website.
  • Content and Functionality:
    • If users can create accounts, define the rules and responsibilities.
    • If users can submit recipes or other content, detail the rules for that content.
    • If you sell anything, add clauses about payment, refunds, and shipping.
    • If you offer any subscriptions, detail the terms.
    • If you have any interactive features (forums, comments, etc.), describe the rules of conduct.
  • User Responsibilities: Be clear about what users can and cannot do. Prohibited uses are crucial.
  • Intellectual Property:
    • Clearly state who owns the content on your website (Flavor Dishy or users).
    • Detail the permitted uses of your content.
  • Disclaimers & Limitations: Carefully review the disclaimers and limitations of liability. This is where you limit your legal exposure.
  • Indemnification: This protects you if a user’s actions cause you legal trouble.
  • Governing Law & Dispute Resolution: This sets the rules for resolving disputes. Choose a location and process that’s appropriate for your business.
  • Enforcement: How will you enforce these Terms? What happens if someone violates them?
  • Accessibility: Make sure these Terms are easily accessible from your website (often in the footer).
  • Regular Review: Review and update these Terms periodically to reflect changes in your website’s functionality or changes in the law.
  • Consider Adding:
    • A section about acceptable use.
    • A section about copyright and intellectual property rights.
    • Terms related to any specific promotions or contests.
    • A termination clause.
    • Contact information.
  • Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA): If your website is directed to children under 13 years of age, there are specific COPPA requirements you must adhere to.
  • Be Clear and Concise: Use plain language that is easy to understand. Avoid legal jargon whenever possible.
  • State-Specific Laws: You may need to adjust this based on your state’s laws.
