The seven clauses you get

Enter your company name, website, contact email, effective date and governing law. The tool writes seven short clauses:

Clause	What it says
1. Use of the Service	Use it lawfully. Don't misuse, disrupt or hack it
2. Intellectual Property	Site content belongs to your company unless stated otherwise
3. Disclaimer	Provided "as is", with no promise of uninterrupted service
4. Limitation of Liability	No liability for indirect or consequential damages, as far as the law allows
5. Governing Law	The jurisdiction you entered
6. Changes	You may revise the terms. Continued use means acceptance
7. Contact	Your email

That fits an information site or a blog. It says nothing about accounts, payments, deliveries, subscriptions or content that users post.

What to add for your kind of site

Site	Add
Blog with comments	Rules for comments, your right to remove them, and who owns what people post
Online store	How an order becomes a contract, pricing errors, payment, delivery, and a pointer to your refund policy
App or SaaS	Accounts and passwords, subscription billing and renewal, cancellation, acceptable use, suspension, what happens to data when an account closes
Marketplace or community	The licence users give you over their content, moderation, disputes between users, and your role as a platform

Keep the terms consistent with your other pages. If the terms say "all sales are final" and the refund policy offers returns, customers will quote whichever suits them.

Sample: terms for a small online store

A store version covering orders and payment, which the generated text leaves out. Replace everything in [BRACKETS].

TERMS OF SALE Effective date: [Date] These terms apply to purchases from [Store Name] ([website]), operated by [Legal Name], [Address]. 1. Orders. Placing an order is an offer to buy. A contract is formed when we email you a dispatch confirmation. We may decline an order, for example if an item is out of stock, and will refund any payment taken. 2. Prices. Prices are in [currency] and [include / exclude] [tax]. If an item is listed at an obviously wrong price, we will contact you before dispatch and you may cancel. 3. Payment. We accept [payment methods]. Payment is taken [when you order / on dispatch]. 4. Delivery. We ship to [countries]. Delivery times on the product page are estimates. Risk passes to you on delivery. 5. Returns. See our Refund Policy at [link text], which forms part of these terms. 6. Liability. Nothing in these terms limits rights you have under consumer law. Otherwise, our liability for an order is limited to the price you paid for it. 7. Governing law. [Jurisdiction]. 8. Contact. [Email], [Phone].

Getting people to agree, and other mistakes

The template relies on "by using the site you agree". For anything with money or an account, ask people to tick a box or click "I agree" at sign-up or checkout, and record which version they accepted and when. That record is your evidence if a dispute comes up.

Copying another company's terms. The text is someone else's work, and it describes their business, not yours.
Leaving "[jurisdiction]" in place. The placeholder prints if the field is empty.
Over-broad liability limits. Consumer law where your customers live may limit how far you can exclude liability. Ask a lawyer.

The output is a template, not legal advice. Have a qualified lawyer review your terms before you take payments or host user content.

Frequently asked questions

Are terms and conditions legally required?+

There is generally no rule that every website must have them. They set the rules of use, limit your liability and say which law applies, which becomes important as soon as you sell something or let people create accounts or post content.

What does the governing law clause mean?+

It names the country or state whose law is used to interpret the terms, usually where your business is based. Consumers may still keep protections from the law of the country where they live, so the clause doesn't always override everything.

How do I update terms for people who already use my site?+

Publish the new version with a new effective date and keep the old one on file. For significant changes, especially to fees or user rights, tell registered users by email in advance rather than relying only on the continued-use line.
