Legal pages are legal documents that act as agreements between a website or mobile app’s owner, operator, or provider and the end user. Each type of legal page serves a unique purpose for both parties.

A website or app may be required to, or could greatly benefit from having one or more of the following common legal pages:

• Privacy Policy
• Terms and Conditions agreement
• End-User License Agreement (EULA)
• Cookies Policy
• Return and Refund Policy
• Disclaimers

The main purpose of legal pages, regardless of type, is to establish the conditions under which users may engage with a website, mobile app, or specific programs and services.

They also outline the primary legal obligations the website or mobile app’s owner has toward its users.

You need legal pages such as Privacy Policies, EULAs, Cookie Policies, or Return and Refund Policies if your company partially or fully:

• Engages in online marketing
• Has an ecommerce component
• Uses proprietary software
• Provides a third-party platform for others to buy and sell products or services, or
• Includes interactive elements, such as social media or forum activity where users actively engage with each other or you

Additionally, all companies with an online presence should have a T&C even though it’s not legally required. Doing so can help you protect and maintain your rights while preventing the abuse of your website or mobile app by users.
