Create a free terms and conditions agreement (aka terms of use or terms of service) for your website or app to better protect your business.
Select your platform to get started:
Generate terms and conditions designed for your blog, website, app, SaaS, or ecommerce site. Establish guidelines and rights for your platform.
Don’t settle for generic terms of use when you can customize the look and feel of your terms to match the unique style of your website or app.
Termly will host your terms and conditions for free! Just place a link on your site to make your terms of service page available to users.
Our terms and conditions generator will walk you through the questions needed to build your own terms of service. You’ll need to know some information about your business and business practices, but you don’t need prior legal experience.
Our goal is to help you create customized terms and conditions as easily as possible without sacrificing compliance.
When you are ready to start building your terms of use, open the generator and follow these steps:
Answer questions about your business, website
Choose your method of dispute resolution (a critical piece of any terms and conditions)
Give a few final details and add additional customization if needed
We provide definitions, answers to common questions, and helper text throughout the generator, designed to help you quickly and accurately answer the questions. After you answer all the questions, the terms and conditions generator will assemble your final product.
Your progress will also be saved, so you can take a break and finish your terms and conditions whenever is convenient for you. We also provide answers to commonly asked questions on our support page, and you can always reach out to our support team if you need additional help.
Once you’ve completed the above steps, you’ll have three easy embed options. You can add your terms and conditions to your website or app using HTML, a URL, or an iframe. The URL and iframe options are hosted by Termly, and both have the capability for automatic updates. This means you can edit your terms of service in your Termly dashboard and republish them in a single step without needing to re-embed.
Are you using WordPress, Squarespace, or other content management systems? No problem. You can still use Termly’s embed options. We have support pages dedicated to installation walkthroughs on the major content management systems.

Terms of use are critical for protecting your website or blog. You can use them to prevent unwanted or inappropriate behavior from your users, provide details on how they are allowed to use your website or blog content, and explain how and why a user might have their account terminated. Terms and conditions can be especially important if you allow users to leave comments, post reviews, or interact with your website or blog in other ways.
Terms of service can be just as important for mobile apps as they are for websites. Mobile app terms detail the rules and requirements that users must agree to in order to use your app. They act as a binding contract between you and your users and can help protect the rights of both the app owner and the user. If you have both a website and an app, you can use the same terms of service for both.
Additionally, some app marketplaces may require that you publish information about your users’ rights and requirements when using your app. Your terms can be an easy way to present that information.
If you are selling physical or online products or services, terms of use can be critical to ensure purchases, refunds, and disputes can be handled appropriately. For example, if you sell a physical product, you can include information about liabilities in the case of issues arising from misuse of the product.
If you sell digital products or services, you can include information about intellectual property, use and misuse of your product or service, and other information to ensure your sales and customer service are seamless.
Software-as-a-service (SaaS) products are becoming more commonplace. If you run this type of business, terms of use are critical for your protection. You include details about how and when the SaaS subscription can be canceled, how users are allowed to use the product, payment and warranty info, and more.
Terms and conditions are a legal agreement between a website or app and its users, also known as terms of service or terms of use, that state what user behavior is acceptable. They often include a list of prohibited activities, information about the use of a website’s content, reasons and processes for user termination, and more. Many websites and apps require their users to agree to their terms and conditions to protect their business in the event of a legal dispute.
Terms and conditions are not required under most data protection laws. However, they are a critical piece of protecting your business. Terms and conditions are critical if you want to prevent negative user behavior, protect your original content, or limit your liability.
In the event of a disagreement with a user, or a legal dispute, terms and conditions can protect your business. Adding details about prohibited user behavior or activity or misuse of content can make it clear when a user is in the wrong. Your terms and conditions should specify what happens in the case of a legal dispute, including how the dispute will be resolved.
Terms and conditions, terms of use, and terms of service all generally refer to the same thing. All refer to the same legal agreement. Some industries, regions, or types of businesses may prefer to use one of these titles over the rest. Our online generator allows you to choose the title you’d like to use — or even add your own.
Many laws do not specifically require terms and conditions. However, some laws may require you to publish and display information about user rights and behavior. App marketplaces and other services may also require you to provide information about user rights.
Even if you are not legally required to publish terms and conditions, having them is a best business practice. Terms and conditions can help you in the event of a legal dispute or copyright claim, as they are a legally binding agreement.
Including terms on your website can establish your copyright and other intellectual property rights, outline appropriate user behavior, and determine how legal disputes will be handled.
You create terms and conditions for an app in one of the following ways:
No matter what method you choose, make sure that you do not copy another website or business’s terms and conditions. Copying legal agreements is copyright infringement.
Terms of use should be displayed in visible places on your website, such as:
Users must be able to easily find your terms in order for them to be effective and help reduce liabilities.
You can display your terms of use in a banner or popup that appears when users first enter your site, but they still need to be accessible after the banner or popup is dismissed.
Users must accept your terms and conditions for them to be legally enforceable. One of the easiest ways to do this is to require your users to proactively acknowledge and accept your terms and conditions before they are able to use your product or service. You may have seen this method used for app downloads, during checkout processes on eCommerce sites, or when signing up for a service. Often a checkbox is used that states the user has read and agrees to the terms.
Another important aspect of enforceability is the accessibility of your terms and any other legal policies. Links should be placed where users can easily find them.
No, you don’t need a lawyer for a terms of service agreement. Terms of service are legally binding, even if a lawyer isn’t involved in the writing of the terms. To create terms without a lawyer, you can:
You will need more than just terms and conditions if you need your website or app to be compliant with data privacy laws. Many data privacy laws require a minimum of a privacy policy. If you are subject to laws like the GDPR, you also need to have a way to manage cookies and cookie consent. Some major app marketplaces, like Google Play, also have their own requirements to be compliant, including a privacy policy.
If your website involves selling products, you may also need to look into a return policy and shipping policy. These can help set the correct expectations with your customers and protect your business in the case of shipping, delivery, or return issues.
Terms of use don’t have to cost anything. You can create terms and conditions for free with any of the methods below:
Create a privacy policy for FREE to protect your blog, website, or app against legal liability.
Create a managed consent solution to protect your blog, website, or app against legal liability.
Create a legal disclaimer for FREE to protect your blog, website, or app against legal liability.
Create a custom refund and return policy for FREE to communicate how your store handles refunds and returns.
Generate a shipping policy for FREE for your eCommerce site, SaaS, or online store.
