All websites on the World Wide Web have several things in common:

* A purpose, which is usually to make money
* A method to make money, which usually involves selling something
* The opportunity to make that money by giving out false information, providing unsatisfactory customer service, and selling sub-standard products and services.

The difference between a good website and a poor website is how the owners meet #3 – the ever-present opportunity to cut corners to make an extra buck. The best websites to deal with are the ones who resist the temptation to make money on the backs of people like you. These websites will not only be well-organized, easy to navigate, and secure for financial transactions, they will also be forthcoming about how they will treat their customers, what they will expect from their customers and what their customers can expect from them. This information is usually called the “Terms and Conditions” or something similar. If a site does not have such a page, consider going elsewhere, because without those safeguards present on the site, the owners are saying several different things:

* “We don’t really care about your satisfaction.”
* “We are going to treat you the way we want to and that will probably be the way that won’t ever cost us any money.”
* “You, the customer, are not ‘always right’; in fact, you don’t know what you’re doing and we do, so we don’t need anything in writing.”
* “We don’t need ‘Terms and Conditions’ because we’re going to do things our way no matter what.”

We, here at Shop Carefully, firmly believe that every website should have its “Terms and Conditions for Use” spelled out very clearly on an easy-to-read and highly accessible page on the site. Our society has become more litigious as people are choosing to sue wrongdoers for just about everything; therefore, it is imperative that even a site such as Shop Carefully protect itself and its users with clear “Terms and Conditions for Use.” Here they are:
