Ask HN: Help me create a simple TOS and Privacy Policy for my webapp
If I wanted to have a simple terms of service and privacy policy for my webapp, does anyone have any resources that can help me with building that?
I am bootstrapping, so don't have any cash to pay for legal advice - just need something to get me through the first year (at least) until I am cash flow positive.
Are there any particular points I must cover, language I must use, things I must include?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
P.S. The webapp will be accepting image uploads from users, and also be doing monthly recurring charging of their credit card - and sending links to their clients. Not sure if these facts are relevant, but included them just in case.

- marcamillion 16y agoThanks for these. Never thought about doing this...or that anyone would do it.
- vipergtss 16y agoI've heard of people taking TOS & Privacy Policies from competitors and similar sites, removing any identification and then taking it to a contracts lawyer and having them go over and customize it. They say it makes it a lot cheaper since the attorney has something to work from. I will be trying this method out in the future but if anyone else has done it this way, I'd like to hear about their results.
