About Terms of Service Generator

Terms of Service (ToS), also called Terms and Conditions or Terms of Use, is a legal agreement between a service provider and users that outlines the rules and restrictions for using the service. Having clear ToS protects your business and sets expectations for users. This generator creates a starting template — consult a legal professional to ensure your final terms meet all applicable requirements for your jurisdiction and industry.

What this tool is used for

  • Producing a starting document for a small site or app that has none.
  • Getting a structure that covers the sections such documents usually contain.
  • Producing a draft to take to a lawyer rather than starting from a blank page.
  • Documenting policies you already follow informally.
  • Refreshing a document that no longer matches what the service does.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is generated boilerplate legally sufficient?
It is a starting draft, not legal advice. A template cannot know your jurisdiction, what data you collect, whether you take payments, or which consumer-protection regime applies — and terms that misdescribe what your service actually does are worse than none, because they are a written misrepresentation.
What must terms of service actually cover?
Who may use the service, what they may and may not do with it, who owns the content on both sides, how the agreement ends, what happens to data afterwards, limits on liability, and which country's law governs the whole thing. Payments and refunds need their own clauses when money changes hands.
What is the difference between terms and a privacy policy?
Terms are a contract about using the service; a privacy policy is a legally mandated disclosure about personal data. GDPR, CCPA and equivalents require the second whether or not you have the first, and burying privacy disclosures inside terms is a compliance problem rather than a shortcut.
Do users have to click to accept?
For the terms to be enforceable, usually yes. Courts have repeatedly upheld clickwrap — an affirmative action against a visible link — and repeatedly refused browsewrap, where a footer link is deemed accepted by continued use. The difference decides whether your terms exist in a dispute.
How should changes be handled?
State how you will notify users and when changes take effect, and keep the last-updated date honest. Material changes to a live contract generally need notice and, in some jurisdictions, fresh consent — quietly editing the page and back-dating it is the practice that gets terms struck out.

Common errors and gotchas

  • Treating generated text as legal advice, which it is not, and shipping it unreviewed.
  • Naming a jurisdiction that does not match where the business actually operates.
  • Describing services the product does not provide, or omitting ones it does.
  • Contradicting the privacy policy, which is the pair regulators read together.
  • Publishing the document and never linking it from anywhere users will look.
