Are terms and conditions preventing already illegal things meaningful?
<p>I'm looking at writing T&amp;Cs for my service and found that many examples repeat that they prevent things which are already illegal. An example fragment:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>You may not use the Services and may not accept the Terms if: [...] you are a person barred from receiving the Services under the laws of Australia or other countries including the country in which you are resident or from which you use the Services.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Is there a point to adding rules like this? If it's already illegal for the person, my T&amp;Cs don't change that, so it seems like a waste of space.</p>

<h2>Yes</h2>
<p>They explicitly make the identified illegal act a breach of contract and allow you to sue. Without that, you may have no remedy.</p>
