Terms and conditions
Terms and conditions are a very important part of anything that relates to how users should go about using something in a legal and ethical way. you need to make sure that users don't post anything offensive on your site and if they do, they can be held responsible for it and not the company. This includes in the comments and forums. Terms and conditions are also important for a variety of other reasons such as copy protection.
It is also a good idea to make a clause in the terms and conditions so they can change at any time without prior notice, this can help you if any major disasters were to happen that might be otherwise out of your control. Terms and conditions are generally found at the bottom of websites in a small link, and usually open with the condition that if the user is to use the website, they must adhere to the rules. Terms and Conditions can apply to anything but they are certainly more useful when setting up something where other people are directly involved such as a website containing forums.
