Social directory, affiliate and advertising website terms and conditions

This template combines the provisions of our terms and conditions templates for directory websites, social networking websites, affiliate websites and advertising websites.

The provisions relating to directories cover both free directory entries and those for which a person seeking a listing must pay - although it is a straightforward matter to omit either the free listing provisions or the paid listing provisions.

The social networking provisions assume that social functionality is free to use.

The section covering affiliates is designed to cover hyperlinks to merchant websites that are published on the website, where the website operator will earn commission or some other financial benefit if users click on those links and then go on to make a purchase or take some other defined action.

The advertising provisions are designed to cover the publication of advertisements on the website (e.g. banner ads) in exchange for the payment of fees.
