Terms of Use, Terms and Conditions, Terms, Legal are all words meaning the same thing – they are disclosures on a website which form a contract between you and the visitor to your site.

Pitfalls of Poor, or No, Terms of Use

Without a basic Terms of Use, you could be sued in Alaska, (or any other state) for something you did not do, and lose your business if you do not hire and pay an attorney there to defend you. You can incur tens of thousands of dollars in attorney fees yourself, even if you win. One of my clients came to me after paying a large New York law firm $10,000 for a routine collection matter, and ended up having to hire another attorney for another $10,000 in Colorado when the debtor sued the client there after the NY attorney failed to sue in NY. A properly prepared

Terms of Use would have prevented the debtor from suing, and provided recovery of attorney’s fees for the frivolous  suit. Many matters can be handled with a properly prepared protective Terms of Use.

Champion Law can prepare your Terms of Use to protect you from suits in other states, permit you to recover your attorney fees if a frivolous suit is filed against you, and provide for speedier resolution of disputes.

Costs

The cost of preparing a protective Terms of Use specifically tailored to your business depends on your needs.

In most cases, your cost will be less than $1,000. Before you are obligated to pay anything to Champion Law, you will be given an estimate which will cover your initial consultation, a first draft of your Terms of Use, and one set of changes before the final Terms of Use is ready to load to your website. In addition, Champion Law will notify you of any changes in laws and regulations which should require updating your Terms of Use for maximum protection.
