A Terms of Service (or Terms and Conditions) page is a website page that defines the rules, conditions, and legal agreements governing the use of a website or online service.

Unlike a 📄 Privacy Policy, which explains how user data is collected and processed, a Terms of Service page focuses on user responsibilities, acceptable use, intellectual property rights, account restrictions, liability limitations, dispute resolution, and conditions for suspending or terminating access.
