Free Terms of Service Generator
A Terms of Service (ToS) agreement — also called Terms and Conditions or Terms of Use — establishes the rules your users must agree to when they access your website or application. Without one, you have no contractual protection if a user misuses your service, demands a refund, or takes you to court. LegalForge generates a comprehensive Terms of Service tailored to your business in minutes, completely free.
Generate for Free — No Signup RequiredWhat Are Terms of Service?
Terms of Service is a legally binding contract between you (the website or app owner) and your users. It defines what your service is, how users may use it, what they are prohibited from doing, who owns the intellectual property, what happens if there is a dispute, and what limits of liability apply. By continuing to use your site, users agree to these terms — making ToS your primary legal shield against misuse, chargebacks, and litigation.
Why Your Website Needs Terms of Service
Even if your website is free and non-commercial, a ToS agreement is important. It lets you terminate accounts that violate your rules, limits your liability for user-generated content, clarifies intellectual property ownership (especially important for SaaS products and marketplaces), specifies the governing law and jurisdiction for any disputes, and sets out your refund and cancellation policy. App stores like Apple's App Store and Google Play also require apps to have a visible Terms of Service.
What Does LegalForge Include in Your Terms of Service?
LegalForge's generated Terms of Service covers: acceptance of terms, description of service, user account rules, prohibited conduct, intellectual property ownership, user-generated content rights, disclaimers of warranties, limitation of liability, indemnification, termination rights, governing law and dispute resolution, and a modification clause. For subscription businesses, we also include subscription, billing, and cancellation terms.
How to Make Your Terms of Service Enforceable
Courts are more likely to enforce a ToS when users have clear notice of its existence and take an affirmative action to agree. Best practices include: displaying a link to your ToS in your site footer and at signup, using a clickwrap mechanism (a checkbox reading 'I agree to the Terms of Service') at account creation or checkout, keeping the document updated with a visible 'last updated' date, and notifying existing users by email when you make material changes.

Is a Terms of Service legally required?
There is no universal law requiring every website to have Terms of Service. However, if you operate a SaaS product, marketplace, or subscription service, you effectively cannot run your business safely without one. Many third-party platforms (Shopify, Apple App Store, Google Play, Stripe) require it. And if you ever need to enforce rules against a user or limit your liability, you need an agreed-upon ToS to do so.
What is the difference between a Privacy Policy and Terms of Service?
A Privacy Policy explains how you collect and use personal data — it is primarily about your obligations to users under privacy laws. A Terms of Service is a contract that governs the use of your website or service — it is primarily about limiting your liability and setting rules for users. Most websites need both. LegalForge can generate both documents, individually or together with a Pro account.
Can I edit the generated Terms of Service?
Yes, absolutely. The generated document is yours to edit. After copying or downloading it, you can modify any section to better reflect your specific business practices. We recommend having a lawyer review any significant customizations, particularly for SaaS businesses, marketplaces, or services that handle sensitive data or large sums of money.
Does LegalForge generate Terms of Service for apps as well as websites?
Yes. During the questionnaire you can specify whether you are generating terms for a website, a mobile app, a SaaS product, or a marketplace. The generated document is tailored accordingly — for apps, it includes relevant provisions about app-store compliance, in-app purchases, and mobile-specific disclaimers.
