TermsBuilder is an attorney-built legal document generator that creates Terms & Conditions, Privacy Policies, and Cookie Policies tailored to how an online business sells, collects data, and bills customers.
What is TermsBuilder?
TermsBuilder is a questionnaire-driven legal document generator built by ecommerce attorney Hank Fasthoff (30 years of practice). You answer questions about your business model, checkout flow, subscriptions, data collection, and refund policies, and the system outputs a set of coherent, ready-to-publish legal pages. Documents can be downloaded or hosted on TermsBuilder’s platform, and you own the latest version outright unless you subscribe to ongoing updates.
Key Features
- Attorney-built framework — The clause structure and drafting flow come from recurring ecommerce legal issues rather than generic templates, covering refunds, disputes, data collection, and customer rights.
- Covers six business types — Dedicated setups for Shopify stores, WooCommerce stores, SaaS businesses, app developers, content creators, and agencies, with specific disclosure needs for each platform.
- Own it or keep it current — Buy Terms, Privacy, or the Bundle for a one-time fee and own those documents. Add Auto Updates ($149/year) to receive ongoing updates when privacy laws change; cancel anytime and keep your last version.
- Three document packages — Terms & Conditions ($59), Privacy Policy plus Cookie Policy ($59), or Bundle with all three ($99). Auto Updates includes all three documents plus ongoing updates.
- Hosted plus downloadable versions — Each document is available as a hosted URL and as a downloadable file, giving you flexibility in how you publish.
- Comparison to alternatives — The page contrasts TermsBuilder against hiring a lawyer (starting at $960) and generic generators (often subscription-gated), with documents you keep if you cancel.
Who is it for?
- Shopify store owners — Generate policies that match your store’s apps, checkout flow, and data collection, ready to paste into policy pages.
- SaaS businesses — Cover subscriptions, access rules, usage data, and auto-renewal disclosures required by law.
- Agencies — Use the repeatable intake to produce client-specific legal pages, defining ownership and handoff terms for each client.
- Content creators — Get license, access, and refund terms for courses, memberships, and digital downloads.
What can you do with TermsBuilder?
- Generate compliant policies for your specific operations: The questionnaire covers products, subscriptions, third-party tools, checkout flow, refunds, and privacy practices so the output reflects your actual business, not a generic template.
- Keep policies up to date as laws change: With the Auto Updates subscription, your Terms, Privacy, and Cookie pages are updated when new privacy laws (e.g., CCPA updates) take effect.
- Match policies to your platform’s requirements: Use a dedicated setup for Shopify, WooCommerce, SaaS, apps, or content creators to align disclosures with platform audit expectations.
How does it work?
- Answer the questionnaire — Provide details about your business model, products, subscriptions, data collection, and customer-facing policies.
- Pick your package — Choose Terms, Privacy, the Bundle, or Auto Updates. Auto Updates can be added after initial purchase.
- Generate, publish, and upgrade — Download or host the documents immediately. Add Auto Updates later from your dashboard or after a law-change notification.
