Ask HN: How can I make legally valid Terms and Conditions and a Privacy Policy

1 pointsby parker_at_largeabout 1 year ago
I have a web app that I&#x27;ve created and published to the internet.<p>I&#x27;ve made a short Terms &amp; Conditions document, along with a Privacy Policy. New users are obliged to agree to both when creating an account. I question whether these documents are legally valid, since I wrote them myself without following any specific structure.<p>Is there a way to make legally valid versions of these documents? What is the best way to approach this in order to ensure I am not legally liable for anything innapropriate that users publish to my site?

I&#x27;ve used <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.termsfeed.com&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.termsfeed.com&#x2F;</a> but there are many such generators available which cost very little.

[I am not a lawyer]<p>Your terms and conditions don&#x27;t side-step liability to third parties. At best they might allow your lawyer to toss out lawsuits by people who agreed to them.<p>If your servers host problematic bits, you&#x27;re going to need lawyers.<p>Good luck.
