Depending on your website, company or mobile or desktop app, you should have a Privacy Policy agreement and a Terms & Conditions (T&C) agreement implemented and in place visibly displayed on your site. When these agreements are displayed on the website or through the app, they must include the word “Privacy” and “Terms of Use” or “Terms and Conditions” in the title of the agreements. Each of these two legal agreements serves different purposes for both the company operating the website/mobile app and your users, visitors and customers.

WHAT IS A TERMS AND CONDITIONS AGREEMENT
A Terms & Conditions (T&C) agreement states the terms, requirements, conditions, language and clauses relating to the use of your company’s website or mobile/desktop app, e.g. limitations on damages and liability, intellectual property and copyright protection, termination of user accounts for abuses, and so on. It is also referred to or called a User Agreement or Terms of Service or Terms of Use agreement. It is a legal agreement and contract that spells out the rules, requirements, and standards of using a website or a mobile/desktop app.
For example, common areas of a T&C include information on limiting warranties, liability and damages, protecting copyright, place of venue for filing lawsuits, arbitration clauses, account termination if certain users abuse the website or app, payments, engaging in forbidden activities and uses of the website platform, and various disclaimers.
It is highly recommended to implement a terms and conditions agreement to prevent abuses occurring to your website or mobile/desktop app, and to limit your own liability as the owner of an online business. Absent this type of agreement in place, and without it being properly enforced, there is no way you can legally limit or control how anyone can use or can’t use your website or app.
A well drafted Terms & Conditions agreement allows you to include language to forbid certain activities, and can also provide a remedy such as terminating accounts in the event these types of abuses occur.
It also recommended that online businesses whether or not they operate just a website or a mobile or desktop app or all three have this agreement in place and present it to users at the time of their account registration. Sites should require users to click on a box saying something to the effect that by clicking on this box you agree to abide by the terms and conditions and privacy policy.
WHAT IS A PRIVACY POLICY AGREEMENT
A Privacy Policy agreement is required if you collect or use any personal information from your users, such as email addresses, first and last names etc. The purpose of this agreement is to inform users about how your company collects and uses the personal data of users.
