When you register for a website or online service, you generally agree to the company’s Terms of Service or TOS. In short, the TOS is a set of rules you agree to follow when using the site or service. That’s between you and a service provider.

These rules can cover a wide range of topics, from acceptable behavior to copyright and ownership of content.

Reading and understanding the Terms of Service is essential before using a site or service.

By agreeing to the TOS, you’re legally bound to follow the rules laid out therein. So if you’re ever unsure about what you can or can’t do on a particular website, be sure to check the TOS for guidance.
