Do I need terms of service?

Terms aren't legally required everywhere, but they protect you — setting the rules for using your site, limiting your liability, and clarifying ownership. They're strongly recommended for any site or app.

Is this terms of service template really free?

Yes — completely free. Fill in a few fields and copy or download it as Word, PDF, HTML or Markdown. No account, no email, and no paywall.

Is this template legal advice?

No. It's a plain-English starting point, not legal advice — we're a tool, not a law firm. For anything important, have a qualified lawyer review it.

Can I edit it and use it on my website?

Yes. Fill in your details, then copy the text or download the file and adjust anything you like before you publish it.

How is this different from the paid version?

This template is generic. The $2 generator (/terms-of-service-generator) tailors a terms of service to your specific business type and jurisdiction and audits it for compliance gaps before delivery.
