What Are Terms and Conditions in California and Why Do They Matter?

Terms and conditions—also known as Terms of Use, Terms of Service, or EULAs—are the backbone of your California business’s customer relationships. These agreements control how your product or service is accessed and what legal measures apply when those terms are breached.

They typically include:

✔ Terms for billing and payment
✔ Cancellation and refund guidelines
✔ Intellectual property protections
✔ Limits of liability and disclaimers
✔ Privacy practices and data management clauses
✔ Procedures for resolving disputes

For California businesses, custom-drafted legal agreements are crucial—especially in fast-paced industries where DIY templates fall short.

If you’re questioning whether your California business needs formal terms and conditions, the answer is almost always yes. They’re essential when:

✔ You offer services or sell products in any format
✔ You handle customer payments or sensitive data
✔ You need to set limits on your liability
✔ You license software, content, or digital platforms
✔ You operate a subscription, SaaS, or membership-based business

FAQs About Terms and Conditions in California

  • What exactly are “terms and conditions”?

    Terms and conditions are legal documents that set the rules for how a business interacts with its customers or users. They can include payment terms, usage rules, disclaimers, privacy policies, and dispute resolution clauses. Having properly drafted terms and conditions ensures your business operates within a legally protected framework, especially when offering services or selling products online.

  • Why should I hire a terms and conditions lawyer?

    Hiring a terms and conditions lawyer ensures that your policies are legally enforceable, tailored to your specific business, and compliant with relevant laws. Unlike free templates, a custom-drafted document reflects your operations, reduces risk, and protects you in case of disputes or audits. A lawyer also ensures you're not unknowingly exposing yourself to liability.

  • Can I write my own terms and conditions?

    You technically can, but it’s risky. Generic or DIY terms often lack enforceability and miss critical legal language. They may even violate local laws or fail to address key issues specific to your business model. A terms and conditions lawyer ensures your document is clear, enforceable, and aligned with current legal standards.

  • Do terms and conditions need to be posted on my website?

    Yes, if your business operates online, your terms and conditions should be clearly accessible on your website or app. This makes them legally enforceable and ensures users are aware of their rights and responsibilities. It also gives you grounds to enforce rules, handle disputes, or terminate services when needed.

  • How often should I update my terms and conditions?

    You should review and potentially update your terms and conditions any time there’s a major change in your business, industry regulations, or how you interact with clients. At minimum, a review every 12 months is wise. Empire Business Law can help you stay compliant and make sure your terms evolve as your business grows.
