Generate Terms and Conditions for Your Website or App

Terms and conditions — also called a terms of service or a terms of use agreement — are the contract between you and the people who use your website, app, or service. By signing up, buying, or simply continuing to use the product, users agree to these rules, which is why a clear set of terms is the legal backbone of almost every online business.

Terms and conditions do two jobs at once. They tell users what they can and cannot do (no scraping, no abuse, no reselling your content), and they protect you by setting disclaimers, capping your liability, and explaining how disputes are handled. Without them, every misunderstanding is argued from scratch.

They sit alongside your privacy policy, not in place of it. The privacy policy explains how you handle personal data; the terms and conditions cover everything else — accounts, acceptable use, payments, intellectual property, and termination. Most products link to both from the footer and the signup screen.

Your terms and conditions are a contract about behaviour and risk: who may use the service, what they may do with it, how payment works, and what you are and aren't responsible for. Users actively accept them, which is what makes them binding.

Your privacy policy is a disclosure about data: what personal information you collect, why, who you share it with, and what rights users have. It exists because privacy laws like GDPR and CCPA require it, not because the user is agreeing to a deal.

Most sites need both, and the two should reference each other. The terms and conditions generator produces your terms and points to your privacy policy in the relevant clauses, so the documents stay consistent rather than contradicting each other.

Strong terms and conditions are more than a wall of legal text. These are the core clauses the generator includes by default, and the ones the AI review checks for:

Acceptance of terms. The agreement states that using the service means accepting the terms, names the effective date, and explains how updates take effect — the starting point for any enforceable terms of service.

Eligibility and accounts. This clause sets who may use the service (age limits, geography), the rules for registering and securing an account, and your right to suspend accounts that break the rules.

Acceptable use. The heart of most terms: what users may do and the conduct that is prohibited — scraping, reverse engineering, abuse, illegal content, or reselling access — plus what happens when someone crosses the line.

Payment and subscription terms. For paid products, this covers pricing, billing cycles, auto-renewal, refunds, failed payments, and price changes, so the commercial deal is unambiguous.

Intellectual property. It states who owns the content and software (usually you), what limited licence users get, and how user-generated content is handled and licensed back to you.

Disclaimers and limitation of liability. The service is provided 'as is', warranties are limited, and your liability is capped — the clauses that contain your downside if something goes wrong. Termination and governing law round it out: how either side ends the relationship, what survives, which jurisdiction's law applies, and how disputes are resolved.

Legally, terms and conditions aren't mandatory for every site the way a privacy policy often is — but the moment users can create an account, pay you, or post content, going without them is a real risk. They are how you set the rules of engagement and limit what you're liable for.

In practice, app stores, payment processors, and most B2B customers expect to see terms before they'll let you operate or sign up. Generating a clear terms of service is the fastest way to clear those gates. You describe your product, get a draft tailored to it, then refine each clause in the editor — far better than pasting a website terms template you don't fully understand.

For most standard websites, apps, and stores, a lawyer isn't a strict legal requirement — countless products launch with well-structured terms of service created without one. A clear agreement covering the core clauses above is enough for everyday situations.

A common, cost-effective approach is to generate your terms and conditions first, then have a lawyer review them before launch — you save time and money while still getting professional input. For regulated industries, unusual business models, or high-stakes liability, legal advice is worth it. This tool produces a professional draft and helps you review it, but it is not a substitute for advice from a licensed attorney.

Once your terms are generated and edited, export them and publish them on a dedicated page — usually at /terms — then link to that page from your footer, your signup form, and your checkout. Many sites add a checkbox at signup so users actively accept the terms, which strengthens enforceability.

Keep the document current: when you change pricing, add features, or update how you handle data, revisit the relevant clauses and note the new effective date. You can reopen the terms and conditions in the editor anytime to make those changes and re-export the updated version.
