Use this Acceptable Use Policy on your website to protect your website. 

Your website is important to you and your business. You’ve spent a lot of time and effort getting it just right to show everyone who you are and what you do and sell.

You want people to visit and use your website. You also want them to post their own content. Perhaps you want them to join in discussions or upload images? Are you hoping for feedback about your business and what you do and sell?

RESPONSIBILITY

You’re responsible for what’s on your website, even if it’s been uploaded or posted by someone else. So, what happens if something goes wrong? What if a user posts something unacceptable on your website? What if your website is used to bully someone? What if a user posts content that belongs to someone else (copyright)?

Description

 Acceptable Use Policy for website – this section tells you more.

WHY SHOULD I USE THIS ACCEPTABLE USE POLICY FOR A WEBSITE?

You need this policy to make life easier because it helps you avoid problems and limit your risks. It help you clearly explain what’s acceptable to your website users and visitors. It spells out what they can’t do when using your website.

You own the content that you upload onto your website. Content like images, information about who you are and what you sell. You might also upload information or blogs with useful tips and advice. You want users to get to know you and what you sell.

Protect

However, you don’t want users to copy your website content and use it as their own. You must also be clear about what’s acceptable (and what’s not) if you allow users to post or upload onto your website. So, if users can give feedback or post messages, you must tell them that they are responsible for what they post or upload.

If you have a clear policy everyone can be clear about what’s expected of them.

After all, if you don’t tell someone what’s not acceptable, how will they know? How can you blame them if something goes wrong?
