How to write a terms of service page

Learn what to include in your terms of service and tips for writing a clear, effective page.

Why do you need terms of service?

Terms of service define the rights and obligations between you and your users, helping prevent disputes. Both Google Play and the App Store recommend a publicly accessible terms URL, and reviewers may check it during submission.

Key sections to include

Cover the scope of service, user obligations, prohibited conduct, account termination conditions, liability limitations, and governing law. Write it separately from your privacy policy but cross-link the two for clarity.

Writing tips

Avoid excessive legal jargon that users cannot understand. Summarize key clauses in short paragraphs, and clearly state how changes will be communicated along with the effective date.

How PAGEBOOK helps

Choose the terms of service template, enter your service name, company info, contact details, and key clauses, then publish a public URL. Pair it with the privacy policy template for a complete set.

Frequently asked questions

Can I combine terms and privacy policy on one page?
It is better to keep them separate. App stores often require distinct URLs for each document.
How often should I update my terms?
Update whenever your service policies change, and clearly note the revision date and effective date in the document.
