Though they’re not always legally required for other types of businesses, terms and conditions are often mandatory for online stores.
That’s because they contain legally mandated information about the conditions of sale and disclosures on methods of payment, shipping, delivery, withdrawals, cancellation conditions, etc. – as commonly required by consumer protection regulations.
Even if you run a small shop on Amazon, you should define your terms. It’s for your own good.
