Legal Docs Weapon

Legal Docs Weapon

The practitioner arsenal for generating and maintaining the five core SaaS legal documents. Read guides/00-generator-selection.md first to orient to the generator landscape, then navigate to the document-specific guide that matches the current task.

Quick-start routing

• guides/01-terms-of-service.md — canonical ToS section checklist (10 required clauses), clickwrap vs browse-wrap enforcement, EULA vs SaaS ToS distinction
• guides/02-privacy-policy.md — required sections by regime, data-inventory input process, cookie disclosure, right-to-deletion workflow
• guides/03-dpa.md — GDPR Article 28 mandatory clauses, four-schedule structure, DPF vs SCCs transfer mechanism, sub-processor approval
• guides/04-msa.md — SaaS MSA structure (9 required sections), startup defaults, enterprise negotiation pressure points, MSA vs ToS decision
• guides/05-cookie-notice.md — cookie category taxonomy, consent banner mechanics, IAB TCF v2.3, GPC signal (CPRA 2026 requirement), GDPR vs CCPA consent standards
• guides/06-compliance-posture-matrix.md — GDPR / CCPA / Quebec Law 25 / LGPD side-by-side requirements table with minimum-viable-compliance tier
• guides/07-customer-dpa-workflow.md — Red Flag / Fallback Matrix, triage protocol, timing rules, response memo structure

Worked examples (examples/)

• examples/data-inventory-example.md — completed data-inventory input for a typical B2B SaaS (CRM + analytics + payment)
• examples/customer-dpa-response-example.md — annotated DPA response memo showing the Red Flag / Fallback Matrix applied to a real redline

Output templates (templates/)

• templates/privacy-policy-data-inventory.md — fillable input form for mapping personal data categories to purposes, retention, and third parties
• templates/sub-processor-list.md — the living sub-processor table required by GDPR Article 28(2)
• templates/customer-dpa-response-memo.md — clause-by-clause response memo for customer DPA negotiations

Reports (reports/)

• reports/README.md — report accumulation policy; dated audit reports go here

Research trail (research/)

• research/research-plan.md — depth tier, time window, query plan
• research/research-summary.md — executive summary, 5 most influential sources, 5 open questions
• research/index.md — manifest of all source files
• research/internal/command-brief-notes.md — brief extraction and scope decisions
• research/external/ — 9 source notes (ToS, generator comparison, DPA, MSA, Quebec Law 25, DPF/SCCs, customer-DPA negotiation)

The attorney-review invariant

Every output from this weapon is a best-effort starting point, not a compliance certification. The canonical closing line for all outputs is:

"This is a generated draft for reference. Have a qualified attorney licensed in your jurisdiction review all legal documents before publishing or countersigning."

No exceptions. Including this line is a critical directive for legal-docs-guardian.

Refresh triggers

Re-run scripture-historian at shallow tier when any of the following occur:

• New EU SCCs version published by the European Commission
• CCPA/CPRA implementing regulations amended
• Quebec Law 25 enforcement action or new CAI guidance
• LGPD (ANPD) material enforcement action or new guidance
• New IAB TCF major version
• EU-US DPF adequacy decision challenged or revoked (Schrems III risk)
• A new data category or sub-processor added to the product (partial refresh)
• Termly or Iubenda pricing / jurisdiction-coverage changes materially
