Legal Forms that should be included on a website include Terms and Conditions of Use, Privacy Policy, Anti-Spam Policy, External Links Policy, Earnings Disclaimer, Affiliate Agreement, the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) Notice and an Affiliate Compensation Disclosure notice.
What is the function of these legal forms?
1. Terms and Conditions of Use
The website's Terms and Conditions of Use informs guests and potential consumers to your site what they can and can not do while visiting the website.
2. Privacy Policy
The website's Privacy Policy allows guests to know the type of data that may be acquired from them, how you will utilize the information and how they may contact you about privacy concerns.
3. Anti-Spam Policy
The Anti-Spam Policy will inform the users of the website that you do not spam and will not sanction guests to your website exploiting information found there.
4. External Links Policy
The External Links Policy states that the website owner has no control over the content of other websites that the website can link to.
5. Earnings Disclaimer
The Earnings Disclaimer makes it clear that the website owner is not responsible for how much money a customer will make on a Website that sells services or products that allow a customer to make money.
6. Affiliate Agreement
If a website has an affiliate program, the Affiliate Agreement will spell out how and when affiliate commissions are paid and how an affiliate can represent your product or services.
7. Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) Notice
The Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) Notice makes it easier to deal with any infringement complaints.
8. Affiliate Compensation Disclosure Package
Affiliate Compensation Disclosure is one of several new guidelines that the U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC) will bring on line on December 1, 2009. According to the FTC, "blogs and websites with 'material connection' (affiliate links) must include an Affiliate Compensation Disclosure on the sites." This new rule will affect everyone who is an internet marketer, blogger or website business owner in the U.S. who has affiliate links on their sites.
These legal forms need to be included on blogs and websites to be in compliance with U.S. Internet Law. You need to consult an internet lawyer for the legal forms or use a website legal forms generator software.

The U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC) new guidelines are effective December 1, 2009. Bloggers and website owners need to act soon.
