Social directory terms and conditions

This template has been designed for a social directory - that is, a website that combines social networking features with a directory. It incorporates provisions from several of our templates, including sections covering personal profiles and other social features, user reviews, free directory listings and paid directory listings.

A directory incorporating social features will often include a user review or ratings system. To take account of this possibility, this template includes a set of clauses dealing with reviews. For example, the website operator disclaimers liability in relation to reviews and seeks to avoid liability for any defamatory material that might be contained in a review. A detailed set of rules regarding user-submitted content apply to user reviews.

The template may be used with different types of directory, but it does assume that all premium directory listings will be bought by businesses rather than consumers.

This template may be used in conjunction with our privacy and cookies policy template.
