Terms of service (commonly abbreviated as ToS or TOS and also known as Terms of Use, Terms & Conditions) are rules which one must agree to abide by in order to use a service. Unless in violation of consumer protection laws, such terms are usually legally binding. Terms of Service can also be referred to as Terms of Use or sometimes merely a Disclaimer, especially regarding the use of websites.
Certain websites are noted for having carefully designed terms of service, particularly eBay and PayPal, which need to maintain a high level of community trust because of transactions involving money. Terms of service can cover a range of issues, including acceptable user behavior online, a company’s marketing policies, and copyright notices. Some organizations, such as Yahoo!, can change their terms of service without notice to the user base.
