Terms of service are the contract between you and the people who use your website or app — they set out how the Service may be used, who owns content, and how liability is handled. This template is a comprehensive, plain-English, jurisdiction-neutral format based on a widely used sample structure, adapted so it is not tied to any one country. It works for any kind of online business - a website, app, SaaS product, online store or community - and includes the full set of sections users expect, from definitions and user accounts to content rules, copyright, disclaimers and governing law.
Just answer a few simple questions - your company details, your website name and URL, your contact and copyright-agent emails, the minimum age, your liability cap and governing country - and your personalized terms of service are generated instantly, ready to download as PDF or Word and publish on your platform.
What this terms of service includes
- Interpretation and definitions - clear defined terms (Company, Service, Website, Content, You and more)
- Acknowledgment - acceptance of the Terms and the Privacy Policy, and a minimum-age requirement you set
- User accounts - accurate information, password security and username rules
- Content - your right to post, the licence you grant, detailed content restrictions, and content-backup limitations
- Copyright policy - an intellectual-property-infringement notice process and a generic (non-country-specific) copyright-notice procedure
- Intellectual property, your feedback to us, and links to other websites
- Termination, a limitation of liability with a cap you set, and a full "AS IS" and "AS AVAILABLE" disclaimer
- Governing law (a country you choose), dispute resolution (informal resolution first), and a generic consumer-rights clause
- Severability and waiver, a changes clause with a notice period you set, and a contact-us section

Who is this terms of service for?
Founders, small businesses, freelancers, app developers and anyone running a website, app, SaaS product, store or community who wants a thorough, ready-to-edit set of terms. Because it is jurisdiction-neutral, it works as a strong baseline anywhere; you fill in your specifics and choose the governing country.
Disclaimer: This template is provided for convenience and general information only and is not legal advice. Consumer-protection, e-commerce, copyright and liability rules vary by country, and some clauses (such as liability caps and disclaimers) are treated differently in different places. For consumer-facing or high-value services, have your terms reviewed by a qualified lawyer to confirm they are enforceable where you and your users are.

What are terms of service and why do I need them?
Terms of service (also called terms and conditions) are the contract between you and the people who use your website or app. They set the rules — how the Service may be used, who owns content, how accounts work, and how liability is limited. They protect your business, set clear expectations for users, and are often expected by app stores, payment providers and partners. This template gives you a comprehensive, ready-to-edit set.
Is this template tied to a specific country?
No. It is based on a widely used sample structure but has been made jurisdiction-neutral: the US-specific "United States Legal Compliance" section has been removed, the DMCA-specific copyright procedure has been generalized into a country-neutral copyright-notice process, and the EU-users clause has become a general consumer-rights clause. You simply choose the governing country, and the same terms work anywhere.
Can I use it for any kind of online business?
Yes. It suits a website, mobile app, SaaS product, online store, marketplace or community. It includes the standard sections — definitions, accounts, user content, copyright, intellectual property, links, termination, liability, disclaimers and governing law — so you can adapt it to almost any online Service by filling in your details.
How does the content section work?
It gives you a licence to host and display content that users post, while users keep ownership of their content and remain responsible for it. It includes detailed content restrictions (no unlawful, infringing, discriminatory, spam or malicious content, no impersonation, and so on) and makes clear that the Company can remove objectionable content and is not liable for user content.
How does the limitation of liability work?
The template caps the Company's total liability at the amount the user actually paid through the Service, or an amount you set (for example USD 100) if they haven't purchased anything. It also disclaims indirect and consequential damages and provides the Service "AS IS", while noting that some jurisdictions don't allow certain limitations — so those apply only to the extent the law permits.
Do I also need a privacy policy?
Yes. Terms of service and a privacy policy are separate documents. The terms set the rules for using your Service; a privacy policy explains how you collect and handle personal data, which most data-protection laws require. This template's acknowledgment section refers to your privacy policy, so you should publish both together.
