Hi Friends, I am setting up a new ecommerce related website. For that I am looking for Terms and Condition, Privacy Policy and other related policies. Please let me know best place to get them. Thanks in Advance... Regards Gudz
Generate one using a free online Privacy Policy Generator: Online Privacy Policy That's the fastest and easiest way, especially if you have to do a number of them. There is also a TOS generator and an Advertiser Acceptable Use Form generator...
I have visited most of the free Privacy Policy sites and they all give me heartburn. These are legal documents that have far reaching effects for your web site, and while many owners of e-commerce sites may be knowledgable enough to edit these free online policies into a usable document, the new comers to e-commerce do not know enough to make it into the kind of document they need to protect themselves. As to online Terms of Service, DO NOT EVEN THINK ABOUT USING THEM! The TOS is your contract with your visitors and customers. You can greatly reduce your liability with the correct contract clauses, and cost yourself thousands of dollars without them. Yes, I am a lawyer, and yes I have a vested interest in having e-commerce owners use a lawyer. However, that does not mean I am in business to rip people off. I am a professional who understands that clients need help and provide that help at reasonable rates. I believe that most lawyers fall into this class, although there certainly are many who don't. Finally, I am happy to give out references from happy clients (with their permission of course.) In my opinion, getting references is the best way to judge a lawyers credibility and worth.
I agree with attorney jaffe. I'll go one step further. If you really can't afford a lawyer to prepare your terms and conditions, find a few sites that are very similar to yours and are big enough that they likely had good lawyers draft their terms and conditions, and then take the best of them and modify the provisions for your site. The result won't be great, and you may leave something important out, but I think you will end up with a better TOS than any online generator will spit out. Then, make sure that if your site starts growing and revenues start coming in, you pay a qualified attorney to do it right for you. Don't just post it and forget it. And if you are too poor or too cheap to have a lawyer do it, and too lazy to put in the effort to craft a decent one yourself, then just remember, you get what you pay for.
