Terms and Conditions (T&Cs) are legally binding agreements that define the relationship between a
website operator and its users. Their primary purpose is not to educate users, but to protect the
company from legal disputes by setting rules, limiting liability, and transferring responsibility to the
user. In the case of PrimeBiome, a commercial website selling health-related supplements, the Terms &
Conditions play a crucial role in shielding the company from financial, legal, and regulatory risk.
While the document presents itself as a standard usage agreement, a closer reading reveals extensive
provisions that favor the company while significantly restricting user rights.
1. Agreement Scope and Binding Nature
The introduction states that the Terms & Conditions constitute the entire agreement between the user and
PrimeBiome, superseding all previous agreements, representations, or understandings. This is a standard
legal clause designed to prevent users from relying on prior promises, marketing statements, or verbal
assurances.
2. Account Responsibility and Security
Users must provide accurate personal information and are responsible for maintaining account security,
including password protection. Any activity conducted through the account is deemed the user’s
responsibility.
3. Payments, Billing, and Financial Control
PrimeBiome reserves the sole right to determine payment terms and methods. Orders can be canceled or
denied at the company’s discretion, even after submission.
