Terms of service generator
Governing law for your state, a disclaimer and a liability cap, your content, and the order, booking, rental and user-content clauses only when your site needs them. Arbitration is a choice, not a default. Free, no sign-up.
How this is worked out
The terms are assembled from the same answers as the privacy policy. Every version carries the service description, acceptable use, ownership of the site's content, third-party links, an "as is" disclaimer, a limitation of liability capped at what you were paid in the previous twelve months (or $100 if nothing) with the sentence that some jurisdictions do not allow such limits, governing law for the US state or country you chose, termination, changes and contact. An orders clause is added only when you ticked a shop, a bookings and cancellations clause only for bookings or rentals (with return condition and damage wording for rentals), an accounts clause only for customer accounts, and a content clause only for user-submitted content - that clause licenses what is posted, forbids unlawful content, and promises not to remove a review for being negative, because the Consumer Review Fairness Act voids a term that does. Disputes go to the state and federal courts of your state unless you choose arbitration, in which case an individual arbitration clause with a class waiver, a small-claims carve-out and a 30-day opt-out is written instead, with a warning that it needs review.
