Ask HN: Do I need and how do I make a Terms of Service page for my web app?
I have a casual side project that involves some image uploading and sharing. Is a ToS really necessary? Do I really have to get a lawyer to write one up? Can't I just write some human-readable text? There isn't any money involved, except for ad revenue.
- barakstout 15y agoI my self am wondering the same thing.
- pestov 15y agoApparently you have too, yes. Otherwise your website can be taken down if there is any copyright infringement. We've seen this happen recently with GoDaddy taking down websites (with the request of the government)that didn't have simple ToS's. Especially, if you have image uploading.
- barakstout 15y agoThanks. How about if I don't have any file sharing?
