Terms and Conditions Help Prevent Website Abuse

One of the primary purposes of terms and conditions for ecommerce websites is to outline the rules and restrictions you expect your users to follow when accessing your services, which helps minimize website abuse.

Within this policy, you can list all unacceptable behaviors and any disciplinary actions you’ll take if someone breaks those rules.

You might ban things like:

• Excessive spamming in your comment sections
• Using bots or malware to infect your website
• Posting defamatory content
• Aggressive behavior or language
• Illegal activities

Having terms and conditions in place allows you to take action against site abusers who break the guidelines you set in your policy.

For example, you might ban the user or terminate their account.

By making this agreement easy for your users to find, you’re setting the expectations and guidelines on proper website usage, acceptable actions, and the consequences of breaking those rules.
