Free Terms and Conditions Generator

What this page builds

The generator returns a complete terms and conditions document in HTML. It uses a fixed template with more than twenty clauses, replaces a handful of placeholders with your details, and shows the result in a preview and an editor. It does not use AI and it does not adapt the legal reasoning to your business model.

Think of it as a structured draft. It saves you from starting with a blank page and it covers the clauses visitors expect to see, but it cannot decide which clauses are appropriate for your site, your jurisdiction or the way you take payments.

The form, field by field

• Last updated: the date printed at the top of the document.
• Site name: the company or brand name used throughout the terms.
• Site URL: the address the terms apply to. A missing scheme is normalised to https://.
• Privacy policy URL: optional. If blank, the generator uses your site URL followed by /privacy-policy.
• Contact info text: a short phrase such as "visit our contact page" or an email address, inserted wherever the document tells users how to reach you.

Which clauses are included

The template covers introduction and acceptance, communications and marketing messages, contests and promotions, content ownership, prohibited uses, analytics, a minimum-age clause, accounts, intellectual property, copyright and DMCA notices, error reporting and feedback, links to other sites, disclaimer of warranty, limitation of liability, termination, governing law, changes to the service, amendments, waiver and severability, acknowledgement and contact details.

That is a broad set, but breadth is not the same as fit. A clause written for a generic website may contradict the way your product actually works. Read each one and remove or rewrite what does not apply.

What it does not do

There is no jurisdiction field. The governing-law clause is generic and should be replaced with the law and courts that actually apply to your business. There are no dedicated refund, subscription, shipping, return or arbitration clauses, so an online store or a paid service needs additions.

The generator does not create a sign-up checkbox, a consent record, a version history or an acceptance log. It does not check whether your privacy policy URL resolves, and it does not tell you whether your terms comply with consumer protection rules in your country. It is not legal advice.

Governing law and disputes

Governing law is the clause most often left untouched and most often wrong. It should name a jurisdiction you actually operate in and a court or dispute process that makes sense for your size. If you sell to consumers in several countries, mandatory consumer rights may override parts of the document regardless of what the clause says.

If you want arbitration or a class-action waiver, add it deliberately and check whether it is enforceable where your customers live. Do not paste a clause from another country's template and assume it travels.

Output, editing and publishing

The generated document appears in a preview tab and in an editor tab. The editor is a rich-text surface, so you can change headings, remove clauses, add a refund policy or insert links without editing raw HTML. The copy button copies the current HTML, and the download button saves an .html file.

Publish the terms at a stable URL and link them in the footer and at checkout or sign-up if you collect acceptance. Keep the last-updated date accurate and retain older versions so you can show what a user agreed to at a given time.

Step by step

1. Enter the last-updated date, site name and site URL.
2. Add the privacy policy URL, or leave it blank to use the default path.
3. Write the contact text users should follow.
4. Press Generate Terms and Conditions HTML.
5. Read the preview and replace the governing-law clause.
6. Add the clauses your business needs, such as refunds, subscriptions or arbitration.
7. Copy the HTML or download the file, then publish and link it.

Review checklist

Confirm the entity name and domain. Check that the privacy link works. Match the prohibited-uses list to your actual service. Confirm the account and termination rules. Replace the governing-law text. Add payment, refund and cancellation terms if money changes hands. Check that the contact route works. Finally, make sure the document does not promise something your support team cannot deliver.

Acceptance and user accounts

The template says that using the service means accepting the terms. That is a common approach, but it is weaker than an explicit acceptance step at sign-up or checkout. If you need a record of consent, add a required checkbox, store the version the user accepted and keep a timestamp. Continued use after a change can also count as acceptance, but the wording should say so clearly.

If your site has accounts, the terms should cover accurate registration details, responsibility for keeping credentials safe, activity under the account and the grounds for suspension. The template includes account and termination clauses, but you should adapt them to how your product actually handles abuse, inactivity and deletion.

Changes and versioning

Terms are not a publish-once document. When you change a material clause, update the last-updated date, notify users in a way they will notice and keep the previous version. A version history helps if a dispute later turns on what a customer agreed to at a particular time.

Do not silently rewrite the terms and rely on the new text for past conduct. Decide whether changes apply immediately or after a notice period, and say that in the document. If a user can reject the change by closing the account, explain how.

Limits and privacy

The form requires a date, site name, URL and contact text. The site name is capped at 120 characters, the URLs at 255 and the contact text at 255. The generator does not store the document, host it, register it or track acceptance.

Your values are sent to the server to render the template and returned in the response. The tool does not keep them after the request. Do not enter confidential information that is not meant for a public terms page.
