The word free is littered around the home/pre-questionnaire pages, but click on generate to start the process and free vanishes rather quickly to be replaced with dollar signs. Strange marketing.

I haven't actually been able to get through it for free yet. https://cdn.mediacru.sh/DSTI-uZ6Y7dV.png https://cdn.mediacru.sh/DSTI-uZ6Y7dV.png

  Thanks for pointing this out. This section is actually optional, it does not require an answer, but the design lacks clarification on this. Will update.

Yeah, the claim of "free" gets annoying rather quickly since probably 99% of sites will do something that requires payment. For example, I went through with what I felt were fairly common practices (totally arbitrary) and the cost of a privacy policy ended up being $30.

It is possible to generate a free privacy policy, although in my case that required selecting "no" when asked if I would pass over user details if faced with a subpoena (allowing for the possibility I might choose to comply would have been $3). It strikes me as highly unlikely that refusing to respond to a subpoena would have no serious ramifications, and I'd expect any information service with any shred of credibility to offer a view on that, and whether if I preferred to live dangerously, noncompliance with a subpoena is really a worse alternative than complying with a subpoena without express prior acknowledgment I might do so in the t&cs. Of course, a decent general explanation is perhaps less likely to result in me paying for a "100% free" set of documents to "prevent legal issues" that are, according to this site's extremely short terms of use, "provided without any warranty, express or implied, including as to their legal effect and completeness". Frankly I'd be more comfortable writing my own t&cs than trusting these guys...

  > Frankly I'd be more comfortable writing my own t&cs than trusting these guys... Agreed. Based on the free template this emits I don't think it's worth paying for the rest of them.

    We're aware of this on the Free Agreements and looking into it. As replied below, we're looking to extend these Free Agreements to include much more clauses to make them more attractive.
