Terms of Use: Is It Different Than A Terms of Service

Many website owners are confused by the difference between a website’s Terms of Use, Terms of Service, and Terms and Conditions of Use. Although there are some technical legal distinctions between the terms “use” and “service,” as a practical matter all three types of documents are pretty much the same thing. The name of the document isn’t as important as what’s inside the document. In fact, one could call it “My Website’s Terms” and visitors would figure out that it meant your Terms of Use document.

The actual content of the document is important because it describes the relationship between you and your website visitors and customers. If done properly, your Terms of Use can reduce your legal liability exposure by contractually binding visitors to terms and conditions that favor you.
