Public Tool Terms Generator Public

Terms of Service Generator (Public Tool)

What it does

The Terms of Service Generator produces a set of foundational legal documents that any business operating a website, app, or online service needs before launching. The documents are generated through a short guided form and calibrated to the business type, jurisdiction, and specific features of the service.

Terms of Service are not optional — they define the contractual relationship between the business and its users, limit liability, govern user-generated content, and set out dispute resolution. Operating without them exposes the business to uncapped liability and removes the contractual framework for user management.

Inputs (guided form)

Business information

Output documents

All documents: DOCX + PDF; free tier is watermarked.

Terms of Service structure (generated document)

1. Acceptance of terms

How the user accepts the terms (clicking "I agree," creating an account, using the service); state clearly that continued use constitutes acceptance of any future amendments (with notice period).

2. Description of service

What the service does; what it does not do; any service availability / uptime commitments (or disclaimer of any guaranteed uptime in the free tier).

3. Account registration and security

Registration requirements; user's obligation to maintain accurate account information; password security; prohibited account sharing; business's right to suspend or terminate accounts for violation.

4. Acceptable use (incorporates AUP)

Prohibited conduct: illegal activity, harassment, spam, scraping, circumventing security, infringing third-party IP, impersonation, spreading malware; reference to the full AUP.

5. User-generated content (if applicable)

• License grant: user grants the business a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to display, store, and distribute the content in connection with the service
• Responsibility: user is responsible for their content; business does not pre-screen content but has the right to remove content that violates the AUP
• DMCA / copyright: reference to the DMCA Notice procedure (US); for MENA, reference to applicable IP laws
• Content that includes personal data of others: user responsibility and consent obligations

6. Intellectual property

Business retains all IP in the service, interface, and underlying technology; user receives only a limited license to use the service; no scraping, reverse engineering, or unauthorized API access.

7. Payment and subscription terms (if applicable)

• Subscription fees, payment cycles, and payment methods
• Auto-renewal: clear disclosure of auto-renewal with notice-to-cancel period
• Refund policy: incorporated by reference; summary of key terms (e.g., 14-day cooling off right under EU Consumer Rights Directive if applicable)
• Fee changes: how and when fees can be changed; notice period
• Taxes: fees exclusive or inclusive of VAT/GST; where applicable, VAT registration number and consumer's obligation

8. Disclaimers and limitation of liability

• Service provided "as is" and "as available" without warranty of fitness for a particular purpose
• Limitation of liability: business's aggregate liability capped at [fees paid in the preceding 12 months / USD 100 for free services]
• Consequential damages exclusion (mutual)
• Professional disclaimer (if selected): not a substitute for professional medical / legal / financial / other advice; always consult a qualified professional

9. Privacy

Short statement incorporating the Privacy Policy by reference; confirmation that data processing is governed by the Privacy Policy.

10. Term and termination

Term (service continues until terminated by either party); user's right to terminate by deleting account; business's right to terminate for violation of ToS; effect of termination (data deletion; outstanding payment obligations); survival of provisions after termination (IP, liability, dispute resolution).

11. Governing law and dispute resolution

Calibrated to the selected jurisdiction (see table below); consumer law mandatory provisions cannot be overridden.

12. Changes to the terms

Right to modify; notification method (email, in-app notice, website posting); deemed acceptance if user continues to use the service after the notice period.

13. Contact information

Business contact details for legal notices; DPO contact (if applicable per privacy policy); copyright / DMCA contact (if applicable).

Acceptable Use Policy (AUP) structure

The AUP enumerates prohibited uses in plain language:

1. No illegal activity

3. No spam (unsolicited commercial messages)
4. No automated scraping, crawling, or bulk data extraction without authorization
5. No circumventing authentication or security features

Usage limits and conversion

Lead-gen nudge: Free-tier output includes an in-document note: "This terms document was generated for standard consumer use. For SaaS enterprise agreements, marketplace terms, or contracts with corporate customers, upgrade to Louis Pro or consult with a commercial lawyer."

Behavior rules

• Consumer law mandatory provisions cannot be excluded. EU and UK consumer rights (right of withdrawal, implied warranties) are mandatory and must be included even if the user's selected terms attempt to exclude them; the generator enforces this.
• Children's content. If the business type is content platform or app and the target audience might include children, add COPPA language (US) and applicable MENA child protection provisions.
• AI-generated content disclaimer. If the platform generates AI content, include a disclaimer that content may be AI-generated; reference applicable AI regulations (EU AI Act labeling requirements for AI-generated content for EU-facing services).
• Always include legal disclaimer. "These terms were generated by Louis (louis.haqq.ai) as a starting point. They do not constitute legal advice. Have these terms reviewed by qualified legal counsel before publishing, especially if your service handles personal data, financial transactions, or operates in regulated sectors."
