I would think your regulated by your location that you have registered your business in and/or have physical present in.  If you sell from Sweden (which your governed by) then meeting that regulation is the most important part.  Any person buying (main stream) goods from your site should read (and may you have to forced them to "agree") your terms and are thus governed by them and the state/province/country that it stipulates.   You can alway add any terms you think is needed/required.

Take a look at other (simular) websites Terms & Conditions from your country and others.

If your goods have questionable content/use/legitmatcy then you should/must consult a lawyer to have a Univeral "Terms & Conditions" drawn up.

I am not a lawyer-so don't take my word as 100% accruate - laws are differnet for every province/state/country- consult a lawyer from your area.  Most will do a free 15 min consultation - do your research and "print" off examples and get you questions ready before hand.  If you have to then pay to have legal wording drawn up.
