Terms Of Service / Privacy Policy Document Generator
Posted July 10, 2007 at 9:52 AM
A long time ago, someone asked me about creating a Terms of Service and Privacy Policy for a web site. I don't know much of anything about that stuff so I couldn't really help. But then, a less long time ago, someone actually posted a generic Terms of Service / Privacy Policy template on the House of Fusion CF-Talk list. Now, months and months later, I have finally taken that template and wrapped it up in a little form that will generate a terms of service / privacy policy document based on your company name and residing state.
I have put the Privacy Policy / Terms of Service generator into the existing ColdFusion section of my site. I figured that the ColdFusion section was a bit more appropriate than the Utility section since it's business related (while it is technically just a utility feature). It will generate both the visual document as well as provide you with an easy to use Textarea so that you can copy-n-paste the HTML used to generate the document.

Thank you very much.
I needed to update the Privacy Policy and didn't even have a Terms page.

A quick question, where it says state will that work for overseas countries or something such as "USA" (for all of america)?

@Shuns,
The State field gets used in the Privacy Policy (State of XXXX). I suppose you could later that to fit your needs. Again, I don't really know that much about this stuff, I was just working off of a generic template that someone posted.

Thx for the template I just put up my hosting site and had to have a TOS and Private Policy. I added things to the terms to fit my needs and looks great.
Thanks

It is very useful thanks.
It's quite difficult for newbies to write their own Terms of Service but this tool will really help them out.
