What is a Terms of Service?

A Terms of Service — also called a terms and conditions — is a e-commerce and online document used when an online store, marketplace or platform needs to publish the terms it trades on. In short: platform usage terms.

It is typically signed by store owners, marketplace operators, dropshippers, affiliates and SaaS businesses. Online terms bind users when they are presented before purchase and actively accepted. Terms buried in a footer link, or changed silently after signup, are routinely held unenforceable.

When you need one

  • You are about to platform usage terms and want the terms recorded before anyone relies on them.
  • The other side has proposed a terms of service and you want to see what a balanced version looks like first.
  • A previous arrangement was verbal, and something has now happened that makes writing it down urgent.
  • You need a starting point you can adapt rather than a blank page — the structure matters more than the prose.

How to write a Terms of Service

  1. 1

    Read the full template

    Read the complete Terms of Service on this page before you use it, so you know what every clause commits you to.

  2. 2

    Gather your details

    Collect the names, addresses, dates and amounts listed in the "What you will need" section — every square-bracketed placeholder needs a real value.

  3. 3

    Fill in the blanks on this page

    Type your answers into the form beside the template and they are written into every clause that uses them as you go. Nothing is uploaded — the document is assembled inside your own browser.

  4. 4

    Download the finished document

    Download your completed Terms of Service as a PDF or an editable Word file, or copy the text. There is no signup and no watermark.

  5. 5

    Sign and store it

    Sign it — electronically with the free Sign PDF tool, or in ink where the document type requires it — and give every party a copy.

Mistakes to avoid

  • Terms nobody accepted

    Require a positive action — a ticked box at checkout — and keep a record of the version accepted and when.

  • Refund policy below the legal minimum

    Statutory cancellation and return rights override your policy. Publishing a shorter window does not shorten the right.

  • Cookie banner without a cookie policy

    Consent tooling is only half the obligation; the disclosure of what is set and why is the other half.

  • No jurisdiction clause

    Say which law governs and where disputes are heard, or you may find yourself litigating wherever a customer happens to live.

Jurisdiction note. Consumer, distance-selling and data-protection law applies based on where your customers are, not where you are. Selling internationally means meeting several regimes at once. This template is general-purpose information, not legal advice.

Every placeholder in [square brackets] needs replacing before the document is signed — an unfilled bracket is the most common defect in a self-drafted document.

This template is structured around 17 sections: acceptance of terms, definitions, eligibility, account registration, use of services and others. Those are the provisions that make the document do its job; anything you delete, delete deliberately.

Is a Terms of Service legally binding?

Online terms bind users when they are presented before purchase and actively accepted. Terms buried in a footer link, or changed silently after signup, are routinely held unenforceable. Consumer, distance-selling and data-protection law applies based on where your customers are, not where you are. Selling internationally means meeting several regimes at once.

Can I edit this Terms of Service template?

Yes, in three ways. Fill in the blanks on this page and download the result; or download the Word version and rewrite it in Word, Pages or Google Docs; or open it in the LegalDraft AI app, where the AI can rewrite any individual clause to be stricter, simpler or more balanced and review the finished document for risk before you sign.

Do I need a lawyer for a Terms of Service?

Consumer, distance-selling and data-protection law applies based on where your customers are, not where you are. Selling internationally means meeting several regimes at once. For routine, low-value arrangements a carefully completed template is usually proportionate. The larger the sum, the more one-sided the terms, or the more the document depends on local statute, the stronger the case for professional review.
