Ask HN: When to create a legal disclaimer for side project

3 pointsby tsaprailisalmost 8 years ago
Hi all,<p>I was just wondering how soon should someone create a legal disclaimer for their side-project while trying to validate an idea?<p>Is there a quick&#x2F;easy way to perhaps generate a &quot;standard&quot; legal disclaimer that covers early usage until the project has progressed enough to warrant a proper legal notice form an attorney&#x2F;lawyer?<p>Thanks

IANAL, but I don&#x27;t think there is a specific time to do this. On the other hand, if you have users I would err on the side of caution and at least put something simple up. A good resource for a privacy policy and terms of use is CooleyGo:<p>Terms of Use: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.cooleygo.com&#x2F;documents&#x2F;terms-use&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.cooleygo.com&#x2F;documents&#x2F;terms-use&#x2F;</a><p>Privacy Policy: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.cooleygo.com&#x2F;documents&#x2F;privacy-policy&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.cooleygo.com&#x2F;documents&#x2F;privacy-policy&#x2F;</a>

Wordpress has their pretty complex one under share-a-like license <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wordpress.com&#x2F;tos&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wordpress.com&#x2F;tos&#x2F;</a><p>There&#x27;s many &quot;terms of service generator&quot; type websites. Some free, some charge per section (<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;termsfeed.com&#x2F;wizard&#x2F;terms-service" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;termsfeed.com&#x2F;wizard&#x2F;terms-service</a>).<p>Personally I think we didn&#x27;t have one for the first year, no user or paying customer minded or ask us about that. (not legal advise)
