What’s Included in the Website Legal Bundle?
Our Website Legal Bundle includes everything you need to make sure your website is legally protected!
1. Privacy Policy
A Privacy Policy is a document that explains how you will manage the personal information you collect from website visitors and customers. Many Australian websites need a privacy policy to comply with Australian privacy laws.
Even if you aren’t legally required to have one, having a Privacy Policy shows visitors that your website is trustworthy and it will improve your site’s Google search ranking.
2. Website Terms of Use
Website Terms of Use set out the rules for your website visitors. They are designed to protect you from the risks associated with running a website, and to protect your intellectual property as well.
Our Website Terms of Use template includes rules about what visitors can and can’t do on your website (such as post comments or share your content). It also includes a Website Disclaimer to limit your liability for any loss incurred by someone relying on the information on your website.
3. Website Disclaimer
The Website Disclaimer is included within the Website Terms of Use document.
Do I need to have these legal documents for my website?
Yes, if your business has a website, you should definitely provide Website Terms of Use and a Privacy Policy for visitors.
Many businesses are now legally required to have a Privacy Policy and/or Website Terms of Use, and sizeable fines apply if you are found to be in breach of your obligations. Our Website Legal Bundle is a cost-effective way of getting both important legal documents.
Anyone running a website should have these documents to make sure they are legally protected.

FAQ
I run an online shop – is this legal bundle right for me?
No, check out our eCommerce Legal Bundle instead. You need T&Cs specifically for online sales.
What’s the difference between Website Terms and Conditions of Sale and Website Terms of Use?
Website Terms of Use set out the rules for visiting and using your website, and they apply to every website visitor. They include a disclaimer to limit your liability and help to protect your intellectual property.
Website Terms and Conditions of Sale are specifically for customers who place an order through your website to purchase goods or services. They cover terms for payment, delivery, refunds, warranty etc.
I’m just starting my Website, do I really need all these documents?
Yes, most Australian websites need a Privacy Policy and Website Terms of Use to comply with the latest Australian Privacy Law and Consumer Law. Fines apply if you are caught breaking the law.
What if the law changes and my templates become outdated?
If the law changes, we’ll email you with the changes and updates to add to your existing templates. So please ensure you keep us updated if your email address changes.
Can I customise the templates beyond editing the fields?
Our templates come in Word format, so yes you can. By all means, add your logo and change the font and formatting to reflect your brand. HOWEVER, do not change the wording (outside of adding your customisations to the editable fields). We cannot guarantee the integrity of the legal protections in the documents if you do.
