Terms of service is the agreement that sets the rules for using your product: what users may and may not do, your liability limits, and how disputes are handled. For a Web App, getting it right matters: Most web apps set cookies and run analytics, which triggers disclosure obligations under the GDPR, the ePrivacy Directive, and the CCPA. This free terms of service generator asks a few questions about your Web App and assembles a tailored document you can copy or download in seconds.
Why your Web App needs a terms of service
Clear terms of service protect you by setting expectations, limiting liability, and giving you grounds to suspend abusive accounts.
Most web apps set cookies and run analytics, which triggers disclosure obligations under the GDPR, the ePrivacy Directive, and the CCPA.
What a Web App terms of service should cover
A good terms of service for a Web App is specific to how your product works. At a minimum, address:
- Cookies and similar storage, and their purposes
- Analytics and any embedded third-party widgets
- Account data if users can sign up
- Acceptance of the terms and who may use the product
- Acceptable-use rules and prohibited behavior
- Payment, refund, and cancellation terms if you charge
- Limitation of liability and governing law
How this generator works
PolicySmith builds your terms of service entirely in your browser — nothing you type is sent to a server. Answer the questions above about analytics, payments, AI features, and the regions your users live in, and the document updates to match. Export it as HTML or Markdown, paste it into your Web App, and link to it from your store listing or footer.
Frequently asked questions
Does a simple web app really need a privacy policy?
If it sets non-essential cookies, runs analytics, or collects any personal data such as an email address, yes. A short, accurate policy is far safer than none.
Do I need terms of service if I already have a privacy policy?
They serve different jobs. A privacy policy explains data handling; terms of service set the contract for using your product. Most apps benefit from having both.
Can I edit the generated terms of service?
Absolutely. Export the document as Markdown or HTML and adjust the clauses to match how your product actually works.
