    Yep, this plus look at the ones for sites that are similar to yours. Of course, you cannot copy those but they can give you ideas of areas specific to your app that wouldn't be covered in the WordPress ones. This is one of those things that took longer than I expected and still am not sure I got right.

  Be extremely careful about using WordPress's terms of service; there's a real danger, IMO, that they could self-destruct. I posted an analysis a while back at http://www.ontechnologylaw.com/2010/05/using-wordpress-coms-terms-of-service-for-your-own-web-site-might-strip-away-much-of-your-legal-protection/ http://www.ontechnologylaw.com/2010/05/using-wordpress-coms-...

    Well, that would certainly suck, and I'd trust a quality lawyer and law professor more than other folks. What would you recommend as an alternative? Just investing in the services of a real lawyer? Trying to write up the darn thing ourselves in a simplified manner with bullet points? Fact is, we still don't even know what we'd do with this service long-term, so hard to envision what the Terms of Service should be, huh? :) We only know our short-term goals right now.
