Does your blog need terms & conditions of use?

Terms & Conditions

Let’s know what you think …

Unlike normal websites, we might don’t have full access to (and control over) the data in ours (WordPress and related Plugins)…

Personally, I’ve already made my own:

Terms and Conditions

(P.S., I don’t mind if you copied the terms. I also welcome suggestions)

If this resonated with you, let’s stay in touch. No spam.

    I love this post. I take it, it would be best to have something similar on my site. May I use a modified version of your post???

        Thank you so much. I will not use it verbatim, due to copyright, but use the general idea. Thanks so much for your approval Mohamad 🙂

        Thank you, I was pondering this idea, had a portion of it in my Welcome&About page. Just published a Terms and Conditions page. If interested: Link: https://cookandenjoyrecipes.wordpress.com/about/terms-and-conditions/

    Most thought provoking, and because I use my site to promote my freelance work I guess it’s something I need to look into. Just another thing to add to my to do list. Thanks for the very timely reminder Mohamad. 🙂

      You’re most welcome, Jess. I hope it was helping. If you offer services/products on your site, I believe terms are a must.

  4. Lori Bernstein Avatar

    Yes, you are. My friend told me I should not have wrote one of posts, that it could be problematic. I feel better now.

    You’ve given me food for thought. I’m a total newbie to blogging and am trying to learn all I can! I’m unsure if my blog needs t & c but I’ll figure it out. Thank you!

      Thank you for your comment, Monica. Welcome to the blogging world. Everybody starts as newbie… I hope you become a pro someday soon and you create your own terms! 😉

    Hadn’t considered this. Hmmm….

    1. Mohamad Al Karbi Avatar

      Thank you for your comment, Jacqui. For a famous writer as your good self, do you think those might be needed?

    Mohamad, I absolutely love the paragraph about respect. This is a great idea. Being new to all of this, I hadn’t even thought about the need for this type of thing. Thanks so much!

    1. Mohamad Al Karbi Avatar

      You’re most welcome… I’m glad this is helping. Thank you and welcome to blogging world too 🙂

    Hmm, I never thought of having terms and conditions of use for my blog. I’ll have to think on that. The only thing I would say about your terms is the idea of changing something in a contributors piece without notification. Just a “just to let you know” notification would probably be received much better. Just a thought. You may have a reason behind the term that I am not aware of, so feel free to let me know of just ignore the thought.

      Thank you for the advice, Joanna. You’re right. I removed the part of modification.
