Before

Write terms of service for my app

Too vague—AI has to guess what you want

After

Draft a plain-English Terms of Service for a consumer mobile app that stores personal data and has a subscription model. Cover: account creation and eligibility, subscription and billing terms, acceptable use policy, data handling summary (link to full privacy policy), limitation of liability, termination policy, and governing law (England and Wales). Flag any section that requires a lawyer's review before publishing.

Specific, clear, ready to use

What makes the strong prompt better?

Plain-English instruction produces a document users actually read

Section list ensures nothing legally important is omitted

Lawyer-review flags protect the founder from using an AI draft as final

Frequently asked questions

What is the best AI prompt to draft terms of service?

+
A great prompt to draft terms of service is specific about the output you want. Use this template as a starting point: "Draft a plain-English Terms of Service for a consumer mobile app that stores personal data and has a subscription model. Cover: account creation and eligibility, subscription and billing terms, acceptable use policy, data handling summary (link to full privacy policy), limitat..." Adjust the specifics — audience, tone, length — to match your situation.

Which AI tool works best to draft terms of service?

+
Claude handles this prompt well, but the same structure works in Claude, Gemini, and other modern LLMs. The reason it works isn't the tool — it's the level of context and constraint in the prompt itself.

Why does my AI terms of service come out generic?

+
Generic output almost always traces back to a vague prompt like "Write terms of service for my app". To fix it: add audience, tone, length, examples to follow, and things to avoid. The strong prompt above shows each of those in action.

Can I use this prompt commercially?

+
Yes — these are templates, not protected content. Adapt them freely for client work, internal use, or production tools. Output rights depend on the AI tool's terms (ChatGPT, Claude etc each set their own).
