About the Terms and Conditions Generator
Terms and Conditions Generator creates a set of plain-language terms for your website or app. Enter your business name, website address and contact email, tick whether visitors can make accounts, place orders or post content, add the law that should apply, and the page writes numbered sections: agreement to the terms, acceptable use, accounts, orders and payments, intellectual property, user content, links to other sites, no guarantees, limit of liability, ending use, governing law, changes and contact. Copy it, download a PDF or a text file, or take the HTML for your page.

What good terms contain
Good terms are short, honest and easy to read. They tell visitors what they can do on your site, what you expect from them and what happens if something goes wrong. Clear terms also protect you, because a court is more likely to enforce rules that a normal person could understand.
Choosing the right options
Each tick box adds the clauses you need for that feature and leaves out the ones you do not. Do not tick features you do not offer, because unneeded clauses make your terms confusing. Revisit the answers when your site changes, for example when you start taking payments.
- Accounts: password duty and closing of accounts
- Orders and payments: price changes, cancelled orders, refunds
- Content you post: your licence to display it and your right to remove it
- Governing law: the courts and rules that apply
Making people agree
Terms are strongest when people have a fair chance to see them. Link them in the footer and next to sign-up buttons and checkout, and for important sites use a tick box that says you agree. Keep a record of the version and date, so you can show which terms applied at a given time.

Frequently asked questions
What are terms and conditions?
The rules for using your website or service. They set out what visitors may and may not do, what you promise and what you do not, and which law applies if there is a dispute.
Do I need terms and conditions?
They are not always required by law, but they protect you: they let you remove abusive users, limit your liability and state who owns your content. If you take orders or accounts, you should have them.
Are the terms legally valid?
This tool gives a sound starting template in plain language. It is not legal advice, and some countries require specific wording, especially for consumers. Have a lawyer review it if the stakes are high.
What is the difference between terms and a privacy policy?
Terms describe the rules of using your service. A privacy policy explains what personal data you collect and how you use it. Most sites need both.
Where should I put the terms?
On a page linked from the footer of every page, and during sign-up or checkout with a link or a tick box so people can agree to them.
Can I change the text?
Yes. Copy the text and edit it. Change the sections that do not match your business and keep the ones that do.
Why does it ask for governing law?
It says whose courts and laws decide disputes. Use the place where your business is based, such as England and Wales or the State of California.
Is my information stored?
No. The terms are written in your browser and nothing is uploaded.
