Ask HN: Drafting site terms of service – any advice?

3 points by Nora_Kelleher 9y ago ↗ HN

Hello! Curious if anyone has recommendations for service providers that can help early stage startups with drafting terms of service? Or any other advice about best way to go about that - my budget and time are limited, so no fancy lawyers in my immediate future. Thanks in advance!

Shopify has free terms of service generator [1]. We used it and then modified to fit our needs. Even though it is designed for e-commerce we found it was not big problem to modify it for SaaS.

There are other services, but they are quite a bit more expensive.
