Terms of service template

2 min read

This is a template, not legal advice. Replace every TODO: block with values specific to your company. Have a lawyer review the result before going to production.

Files to wire up

Section titled “Files to wire up”

The UI template doesn’t ship a /terms route, same pattern as privacy:

  1. Create apps/ui/src/features/legal/TermsPage/TermsPage.tsx.
  2. Register the route.
  3. Link from the sign-up form (“by signing up, you agree to our terms” pointing to /terms on your fork).

Template content

Section titled “Template content”

TODO: the legal name of the company offering the service, jurisdiction whose law governs the contract, dispute-resolution forum (court, arbitration), and effective date.

Acceptance

Section titled “Acceptance”

By creating an account or using the service, you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, do not use the service.

Account and security

Section titled “Account and security”
  • You provide accurate contact information.
  • You’re responsible for keeping your password and OAuth-connected accounts secure.
  • You notify us promptly of any suspected breach.

Acceptable use

Section titled “Acceptable use”

TODO: list prohibited behaviour, automated scraping, security probes without permission, abuse, illegal content, attempts to exfiltrate other users’ data, etc.

Service availability

Section titled “Service availability”

TODO: if you’re offering a paid plan, state your SLA in plain English (or “best effort, no SLA” if you’re not). Mention scheduled maintenance windows and how outages are communicated.

Subscriptions and billing

Section titled “Subscriptions and billing”

TODO: describe billing cadence (monthly / annual), refund policy, auto-renewal behaviour, taxes, and what happens on payment failure (BoringStack’s Stripe wiring suspends the account after a configurable dunning window, keep the wording aligned with that flow).

Termination

Section titled “Termination”

TODO: state your right to terminate for cause (acceptable-use violation, non-payment) and the user’s right to cancel. BoringStack default: soft-delete with 30-day grace before hard-delete; user can re-activate during the grace window.

Disclaimers and liability

Section titled “Disclaimers and liability”

TODO: “as-is” disclaimer, exclusion of consequential damages, cap on direct damages (typically 12 months of fees paid). These clauses are jurisdiction-sensitive; a generic copy-paste is a footgun.

Changes to these terms

Section titled “Changes to these terms”

TODO: how you communicate changes (banner on next sign-in / email / both), and the grace period before the new terms take effect.

Contact

Section titled “Contact”

TODO: legal / contract contact address.

Section titled “Related”
