Attorney-Built Terms and Privacy Policies for Online Businesses
TermsBuilder creates terms, privacy policies, cookie policies, and supporting privacy notices and forms around how your business operates. The Privacy Package also includes privacy request and privacy choices forms, plus a California notice at collection when applicable.
Terms $59. Privacy $59. Bundle $99. Auto Updates $149/year.
Why This Exists
Most generators are built by tech companies that don't know the law.
This one was built by an ecommerce attorney who does.
Generic templates don't fit how your business operates
Subscriptions, digital products, third-party tools, refunds, and checkout flow all shape what a document should say, yet most generators barely ask about any of them.
A one-time doc gets stale when the law changes
Privacy law, disclosure rules, and consumer protection requirements change over time, so a document that's never updated falls behind the law it's supposed to track.
You're the one standing behind the documents
Once the policy is on your site, it belongs to your business, and a polished template doesn't help if it fails to match the way you sell, collect data, or handle customers.
What TermsBuilder Does
A Cleaner Way to Get Core Site Policies in Place
TermsBuilder is for business owners who want something better than a generic template without turning the project into a custom legal engagement.
Attorney-built framework
Our questionnaire, clause structure, and drafting flow come out of ecommerce legal work and are designed around recurring issues in online businesses.
Own it, or keep it current
Start with Terms, Privacy, or the Bundle and own those documents outright. Add Auto Updates whenever you want them kept up to date, and if you ever cancel, you keep your latest version.
Built around your business
Our questionnaire covers products, subscriptions, customer touchpoints, privacy practices, and how you collect and pay out money, so the output fits how you operate.

Who Built This
Built by a Practicing Ecommerce Attorney
Attorney-Built Framework
TermsBuilder draws on 30 years of ecommerce legal work. Hank Fasthoff built TermsBuilder from the questions and disputes that surface again and again for online businesses, so the framework starts from problems he's handled rather than a generic template.
Most legal pages online businesses rely on were built for someone else. Templates get copied, generators produce something that looks right, and platform defaults get pasted in, which leaves language about refunds, disputes, and customer data that has little to do with how the business operates. Core site policies should match how you sell, bill, collect data, and handle customers.
Our intake and drafting flow target the issues that can give rise to disputes in ecommerce settings, such as non-compliant privacy policies and disclosures, terms and conditions that are inconsistent with your operations, refund and subscription language that doesn't hold up, and the mismatch between how you operate day to day and what your published policies say. Your answers to our questionnaire cause our system to generate Terms and Conditions and a Privacy Policy that fit together as one coherent set of rules and disclosures, tailored to your business and built to help deal with customer disputes, data requests, and platform audits.
