Termsofuse, commonly referred to as Terms of Use or Terms of Service, is a legal contract governing the use of a website, app, or other service. It sets out the rules users must follow, the rights of the service provider, and the limits on liabilities.

A typical Terms of Use document includes sections on acceptance and modification, eligibility and account creation, user conduct, permitted and prohibited activities, intellectual property ownership and licenses, user-generated content, privacy considerations, warranties and disclaimers, limitations of liability, indemnification, termination or suspension of access, and governing law and dispute resolution.

Acceptance usually occurs when a user accesses or uses the service. Continued use after changes to the terms generally constitutes acceptance of those changes, and providers may provide notices of updates through the service or email.

Terms of Use may address enforcement measures such as account suspension or termination for violations, restrictions based on jurisdiction or age, and remedies for breach. They may specify dispute resolution options, including arbitration or venue for court actions, and indicate governing law.

These terms are often accompanied by a privacy policy and other policies. They are intended to define a contractual relationship between the user and the service provider and are not a substitute for legal advice. They do not guarantee exact legal protections and may vary by jurisdiction.
