Are there any resources for creating terms and conditions for websites?
<p>I am currently on the process of making a forum based website that will contain users emails, passwords and possibly names. When The users signs up they will need to accept the terms and conditions but at the moment they are empty. Are there any resources on creating terms and conditions of any pre-built one's that are available?</p>

<p>If not may someone please provide me with the base lines.</p>

<p>Sorry if this is posted on the wrong section but I felt this was quite serious.</p>

<p>A TOS for a website is serious business; you need to precisely outline how your user's data is protected, what users can and can't do in the forum, your responsibilities to the users, and on and on.</p>

<p>Your TOS is a legal document. Your users sign a contract when they click and accept. See Contracts of Adhesion <a href="https://www.law.cornell.edu/wex/adhesion_contract_contract_of_adhesion" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://www.law.cornell.edu/wex/adhesion_contract_contract_of_adhesion</a></p>

<p>If you copy and paste a pre-made TOS, and don't understand exactly what is in it, and you and your users are bound by that TOS, what kind of legal risks do you open yourself up to?</p>

<p>The copy and paste of someone else's TOS can be a copyright violation: <a href="https://law.stackexchange.com/questions/7901/is-it-legal-to-copy-a-sites-terms-of-use/7903#7903">Is it legal to copy a sites terms of use?</a></p>

<p>A simple Google search yields <a href="https://formswift.com/terms-of-service" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://formswift.com/terms-of-service</a> among others. Or try one of the many services like LegalZoom. But if you're serious about the site and you and your users' legal protections, you'll have a TOS professionally drafted.</p>
