A best-practice terms of service for your website or app you can customize and download in minutes
Terms of service (also called terms and conditions or terms of use) are the contract between you and the people who use your website or app. They set the rules of the relationship - who can use the Service, what users can and cannot do, who owns content, how payment works, and how liability is limited. This template is a standard, plain-English, jurisdiction-neutral format built from widely used best practices, so it works for any kind of online business - a website, mobile app, SaaS product, online store, marketplace or community.
Just answer a few simple questions - your business and service name, your website, contact and privacy-policy details, the minimum age, any fees and your governing law - and your personalized terms of service are generated instantly, ready to download as PDF or Word and publish on your platform.
What these terms of service include
- An agreement-to-terms clause written for click-to-accept ("clickwrap") sign-up, plus light definitions
- Eligibility (a minimum age you set) and accounts and registration (accurate details, account security and responsibility)
- A thorough acceptable-use clause - no unlawful, fraudulent or infringing use, no malware, scraping or unauthorized access, and a modern clause preventing use of the Service or Content to train AI/ML models without consent
- A user-content clause (you keep ownership; you grant a licence to operate the Service) and an intellectual-property clause for your own content and brand
- Fees, payment and subscriptions (customizable), third-party services and links, and a privacy clause referencing your Privacy Policy
- Termination and suspension, strong "AS IS" disclaimers, a limitation of liability with a cap and exclusion of consequential damages, and an indemnification clause
- A changes clause requiring notice of material changes, a governing-law and dispute-resolution clause (informal resolution first), and standard boilerplate

Disclaimer: This template is provided for convenience and general information only and is not legal advice. Consumer-protection, e-commerce, subscription and liability rules vary by country and state, and some clauses (such as liability caps and dispute-resolution terms) are treated differently in different places. For high-value services, regulated activities, or consumer-facing businesses, 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 does my website or app need them?
Terms of service (also called terms and conditions or terms of use) are the contract between you and the people who use your website or app. They set the rules — who can use it, what's allowed, who owns content, how payment and liability work, and how disputes are handled. While not always legally required, they are strongly recommended for any online business: they protect you, set expectations, and are often needed by app stores and payment providers.
Can I use this template for any kind of online business?
Yes. It is written to be adaptable and jurisdiction-neutral, so it works for a website, mobile app, SaaS product, online store, marketplace or community. You describe your service, set your fees and minimum age, and choose the governing law, and the same best-practice structure applies.
How do users legally agree to the terms?
The best practice — reflected in this template — is a "clickwrap" agreement, where users actively accept the terms (for example by checking a box or clicking a button) before using the Service. This is far more enforceable than simply posting the terms on your site. The template's acceptance clause is written for this approach.
What does the acceptable-use clause cover?
It sets clear boundaries: no unlawful, fraudulent or infringing use; no malware; no scraping or unauthorized access; no disrupting the Service; and no reselling without permission. It also includes a modern clause preventing anyone from using your Service or content to train AI or machine-learning models without your written consent — increasingly important for online businesses.
How does the limitation of liability work?
The template disclaims indirect and consequential damages and caps your total liability at the greater of an amount you set or the fees the user paid in the previous 12 months — a common, reasonable approach. It also makes clear that nothing excludes liability that can't be excluded by law, since some protections (especially for consumers) can't be signed away.
Do I still need a privacy policy?
Yes — terms of service and a privacy policy are separate documents that do different jobs. The terms set the rules for using your Service; the privacy policy explains how you handle personal data, which most data-protection laws require. This template references your privacy policy and treats it as part of the agreement, so you should publish both together.
