CERTIFICATION RECORD
This template was prepared and reviewed by a licensed Saudi lawyer and is kept current as the Kingdom's regulations change.
Where an Arabic and an English text exist, the Arabic text prevails
Terms of use that set the operator's identity, permitted use, intellectual property, and liability limits, written for the Saudi context and bilingual.
A website's terms of use are the silent contract between you and every visitor who opens your page. Without them nothing defines what a visitor may do with your content, nothing disclaims your responsibility for a decision taken on the basis of general information you published, and nothing identifies you as required by the disclosure rules of the E-Commerce Law. Sighaty template D-01 is written for an informational or corporate site that does not sell directly, and it covers the operator's details, permitted use, accounts, intellectual property, the nature of the content, liability limits, and the link to the privacy policy and cookie notice, in two parallel languages with the Arabic text prevailing on any difference.
Get the Website Terms of Use TemplateD-01What this document is and when you need it
Terms of use are a published page the visitor accepts simply by browsing the site, and they settle three things: who operates the site, what is allowed and forbidden on it, and the limits of what you can be held answerable for. Every business with a corporate site, a blog, or a services page needs them, even if it sells nothing through it. If the site is a store that sells directly, the fitting document is the Online Store Terms D-02, while these terms remain the right choice for a corporate site.
- An informational or corporate site presenting the business and its services.
- A blog or content hub publishing general information for the public.
- A site with user accounts or contact forms but no direct selling.
What the smart-fill asks and what you receive
The questions are few and specific: the operator's legal name in Arabic and English, the website domain, the commercial registration number, the National Address, the contact email and phone, then the aggregate liability cap for free use of the site, and the last updated date in both the Hijri and Gregorian calendars.
The clauses on acceptable use, intellectual property, and third-party links are fixed prose in the template that needs no input; you simply review them against your site's actual features before publishing. Within minutes you receive a formatted bilingual Word document, editable, ready to be moved onto the terms page of your site.
Why a lawyer-certified template beats a free download
Most terms pages on Saudi websites are copied from foreign sites, so they point to laws that do not apply here, omit the commercial registration and National Address disclosure that electronic dealing rules expect, and may carry a clause excluding your liability for fraud, which the law does not permit in the first place. The Sighaty template is certified by a licensed Saudi lawyer, drafted for the local regulatory context, and updated as regulations change, so you publish a page that survives a serious reading instead of copied text that raises your exposure rather than lowering it.
Frequently asked questions
Is this template enough if my site is a store that sells directly?
No. This template is designed for an informational or corporate site without direct selling. A store that takes orders and payments needs the Online Store Terms D-02, because those address the order, the price, shipping, payment, and the withdrawal right. You can publish both documents if you run a corporate site and a separate store.
Why does the template ask for a liability cap on free use?
Because a visitor pays nothing to browse your site, a nominal aggregate cap proportionate to that use is customary. The law still overrides in every case, so liability arising from fraud or gross fault is not excluded whatever cap is written.
How do the terms relate to the privacy policy and cookie notice?
The terms refer to both documents and make them part of themselves: personal data is processed under the privacy policy D-03, and cookies are used under the notice D-04. Publishing all three together is the complete position, while publishing the terms alone leaves the personal-data side uncovered against the requirements of the Personal Data Protection Law.
