Terms of service are the legal agreements between the provider of a service—such as a website—and the users of the service. When a user is given proper notice of these terms and agrees to or accepts the terms by some affirmative act, such as continuing to use the service or ticking a box to indicate agreement, the parties form an enforceable contract regarding the user’s use or purchase of the product or service. Terms of service are also commonly referred to as terms of use, terms and conditions, or abbreviated as TOS or T&C.

In Wyoming, as in other states, terms of service (TOS), also known as terms of use or terms and conditions, are considered legally binding agreements between a service provider and the user of that service. These terms outline the rules and guidelines that users must follow, as well as the legal obligations of the service provider. For the agreement to be enforceable, the user must be given proper notice of the terms and must accept them through an affirmative act, such as clicking a checkbox or continuing to use the service. This forms a contract that is generally upheld by courts, provided that the terms are reasonable, clear, and not in violation of any laws. It is important for service providers to ensure that their TOS are prominently displayed and that users have a clear opportunity to review them before agreeing, as failure to do so may result in the terms being considered unenforceable. Wyoming does not have specific statutes that govern the enforceability of online terms of service, so the general principles of contract law, as recognized by both state and federal law, apply.
