Thank you very much.

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

Michael

My pleasure.

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

Thank you so much...you're a hero!

Glad to help.

Awesome job. This is a REALLY nice tool. Helped me out alot.

Just used it on my site. Thanks for making it so easy!

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.

Thanks buddy...

You saved me a million hours... And my sanity...

thanks! i needed some generic terms, i know that eventually i should have a lawyer go over my specific situation but in the meanwhile I HAD to put something up to be in compliance. this is excellent.

Thanks very much for this! I was wondering how I was going to do it. This is perfect!

I'm building a website for my Mom and suddenly found myself in need of these site documents - with no idea where to start.

Thanks for sharing this very nifty resource!

@Tonya,

Happy to help - glad you found it useful.

thanks ben, I'm not a big fan of contracts so to find your no no-nesense ToS generator has helped me no end.

all the best

Thanks for the cool little tool. This will help the new guy, I'm going to add a link back to this generator at the bottom of my page.

@Tom,

Glad to help out my man.

thanks for that!

This was very helpful. Thank you for coming up with it.

Hi,

I been searching for TOS and I found your page. The generator is excellent! Thank you for taking the time out to make it.

I just have a quick question. If we use this TOS etc will it be valid protection for us? Does it hold any value?

Or is it meant to provide a little cover fire for a broke developer (me) haha until he/she can scrape up enough money for a lawyer etc

Thanks again for making this!

@JustLaunched,

This has not been run by any legal team. It's just to have *something* in place.

@Ben Nadel

Hey thank you for replying. Yeah I just wanted more detail on it that's all. I think I get what you are saying though :-)

You are right though... "Sade makes coding feel sexy." haha

One time I was programming and I finally solved part of an application and I cranked up the headphones with her song "Smooth Operator." You should try it... It makes you feel like a King.

King Kong ain't got sh*t on me!!! hahah - Training Day.

Alright man thanks again, and thanks for creating the generator.

@JustLaunched,

Ha ha ha, Smoother Operator is a quality song for sure.

Hi Ben, you have really solved my problem. I will surely recommend your great tool to all my webmaster friends. !! Have a nice day.

Thanks man awesome

Thank you very much!
I was searching for this for long time.Finally i could enter correct query into g00gle search box to arrive at your page...

Thanks for a very useful resource, Ben! Any idea where one could get a boilerplate disclaimer for the new FTC rules?

:)

Erich

@Erich,

I have no idea what FTC rules are :)

Oh god thanks,
I would need this as the base so i can got mine up and running soon ;p

Thanks for providing this tool Ben. I've been trying to find a good TOS template or an example of one for quite some time. I didn't expect to find a free tool that would create a customized TOS page for me. This is very cool! I appreciate it.

Ya, it did becoming a great too for starter user to have their personal TOS on using the base template..
So yeah, good job dude

@Scott, @John,

Glad it was able to get you moving in the right direction.

Ben, thanks for the help with this terms of service generator. Great stuff. Thanks!

Thanks so much!!!! Definitely going to refer this to others.

Dave

Ben thanks for this,truly,I had a site up for a month with no terms,privacy,sitemap.Client flipped a wig so you saved me today!

Hi am just developing my blog/website (first one!). I tried to download the privacy policy page you developed as it was highly recommended by my colleagues. Seems the site is being upgraded? Have you retired this great form or is the site truly being upgraded and will return shortly?

Thanks for your help in advance and Happy Fourth to Ya!

After Googling on the web I came upon this site and read the initial comments and felt that I had come to the right place for the policies.
But seems that the site is currently being updated.

Thanks

Did you know this post is now #1 on Google for "terms of service template"? I bet you never dreamed that would happen.
Not so for codfusion development, application development, etc. but hey, we have to learn to use the traffic we do get.

@J, @Prashant, @Texxs,

Yeah, sorry about the "update"; I was changing the architecture of my site and wasn't able to get to everything in a timely manner. I will try to finish the upgrade ASAP.

Hi Ben,

I can't tell you how excited I was that I found your generator for Terms of Use. I noticed that it says it's being updated......is that a long term process or is it something that will have the app back online within a couple of days?

Thank you so much for putting something that useful out there for everyone to use.

Best,
Mario

I'm brand new to building web sites. I'm in the process of building my first sight right now, I haven't launched it yet because I haven't been able to find all the "legal" documents that I need. I'm not quite sure what you have going on here, but from the look of things its going to be just what I've been needing. I hope you get the link up soon-

Thank you :D

@Mario, @Taco,

I will try my best to get this up by the end of the day tomorrow. I've been at CFUNITED all week, so have not had access to my site.

I have updated the Privacy Policy code to work again. Sorry it was down for a while. I'll be moving it around a bit later; but for now, it is up and running.

Thank you, it's breathtaking fast and easy. I've spent a lot of time thinking it over and over and was't sure where to start and what are legal requirements.

@Elena,

Always glad to help!

Thanks a ton!! saved my precious time..

Thanks a ton for this! Saved me and (I'm sure a bunch of other people) a lot of hassle. I can now put off hiring an attorney and spending a few grand for another couple of weeks...

Very, very nice job! This saved me a substantial amount of time. Thank you for supporting small businesses with your innovation!

@Martin, @Damodar, @Akshay,

No problem guys - always happy to hear this helped someone.

Good job!

Thanks for that, i was looking for something clean and clear like that for more than a week. By the way very nice design of your website.

thanks,
Miter

Thank you so much for this! I am not sure how many times I have gone to other web apps and taken their TOS and changed all of the names. Bookmarking this.

Thank you so much Ben, I really like your site term and privacy policy generator it was super easy to use.

@Mitermayer, @Brandon, @Maiken, @Celia,

Thanks for the TOS generator. Much appreciated. :)

Dear Ben:

This is great! What I relaly like about it (part from its brilliant simplicity) is the fact that it is not 15 pages of legalese but is in terms that anyone could understand.

The one thing I did (that might also make it perfect for other users) was to add an additional section related to geenral rules for blog use. I'd add it here but I'm sure you have many such examples yourself (but let me know if you'd like me to!)

Thank you very much for this!

Fletch

Many thanks for this. Its something I'd never even thought of before.

Great stuff!

Nathan
