📋 How to Add Terms & Conditions and Liability Waivers to Your Course
If you're running a health, fitness, or coaching course, you probably know that legal disclaimers aren't optional — they're essential. Whether it's a liability waiver for your workout program or terms and conditions for your digital product, WithMe makes it easy to keep things covered. Let's walk through exactly how to set it up! 💪
🤔 Why Add Legal Disclaimers to Your Course?
Great question! Adding terms & conditions and liability waivers protects both you and your customers. Here are a few reasons creators add them:
Health & fitness courses — protect yourself from liability if someone gets injured following your program
Coaching & consulting — set expectations around results, refunds, and scope of advice
Digital products — clarify usage rights, intellectual property, and refund policies
Compliance — meet legal requirements in your country or industry
📝 Note:
WithMe doesn't provide legal advice. We recommend consulting a qualified attorney to draft your specific terms and waivers. What we can do is show you exactly where and how to display them!
✅ Option 1: Add Terms in Settings
Head to Settings, then Profile, and switch on Checkout Terms & Conditions. This is off by default, so nothing changes until you turn it on. Once it's on, write or paste your own terms into the editor, or click Restore Default to reset to the default text, then click Save. Your buyers will then see a checkbox reading "I understand and agree to the Terms & Conditions" on checkout, and the Terms and Conditions link in it opens your terms. The buy button stays disabled until they tick it. Turn the toggle off at any time to remove the checkbox and restore checkout to how it worked before.
💡 Best Practices for Creator Legal Disclaimers
Here are a few tips to make sure your legal bases are covered:
Be specific — generic templates are better than nothing, but tailored terms for your niche are best
Use the options available to you, add your terms in Settings, and display your waiver on the landing page or require agreement at checkout for extra protection
Keep it visible — don't bury your disclaimer at the bottom of a long page. Make it easy to find!
Update regularly — as your course evolves, make sure your terms stay current
Get professional help — a one-time investment in a lawyer can save you major headaches down the road
📝 Note: Once you turn on Checkout Terms & Conditions in Settings > Profile, it automatically applies to checkout for your courses, digital products, memberships, and coaching, you don't need to set it up separately on each product.
Don't worry — setting this up takes just a few minutes, but it gives you and your customers peace of mind from day one. You've got this! 🚀
