Developing comprehensive terms to protect your telecom business

Terms of service (also known as terms of use and terms and conditions, commonly abbreviated as TOS or ToS, ToU or T&C) are the legal agreements between a service provider and a person who wants to use your service. 

Telecom, website, cloud, and SaaS terms of service serve as legal contracts between providers and customers, and/or website visitors. To ensure your business is adequately protected, it's essential for you to have your terms and privacy policies reviewed by an experienced data privacy law firm.

If you own a website, you can reduce the risk of legal disputes with your users by having clear terms and conditions and a binding consent mechanism on your site, such as a click-to-agree or other interactive affirmative consent plugin.

ToS are critical to internet and wireless companies that sell products, distribute content, and permit end-users to create content. For software, wireless, internet, Saas, UcaaS, and other cloud computing services, the ToS and ToU should be tailored specifically to the liabilities and risks in the telecom and cloud computing industries. 

Poorly drafted end-user terms and conditions can result in enforcement actions by the FTC, state Attorneys General, or civil lawsuits.
