Why have a "Terms and Conditions" on your site?
dkokelley: The TOS isn't meant to protect the users. It's the user's job to protect the users. The TOS is to protect the site.Say someone uses your site which provides a free service. For whatever reason, the service is disabled for a day. Now let's say a user decides that they were harmed by the service being down and decide to sue. It's a good thing you have a TOS that states "The services offered through this site are provided as-is and without warranty. We may discontinue service or cancel accounts at any time with or without reason."I understand that there is a potential for fraud from the site, such as when the site decides to add a line after being sued that retroactively protects them, but the burden of proof is on the accuser and there are ways of checking revisions to a site (checking Google's cache or recent edit logs could help to find the truth).
