Ts and Cs

Legal agreement details

Ts and Cs is an abbreviation for terms and conditions—the legal provisions governing a contract, service, or agreement.

Usually appears in casual speech or informal writing: Did you actually read the Ts and Cs?

The formal documents themselves typically spell it out, but people discussing them rarely do.
