Ask HN: How do you write a “Terms of Service” for your startup? | Sep 2022
Few options I’ve used.

1. legal zoom business advisory service which give you access to lawyers for free document review (under 10 pages) or 30 minute consultations with lawyers for about $40/month. I think they have a yearly plan that is even cheaper.

2. Rocker lawyer also provides free document reviews by lawyers for a yearly plan.

Both legal zoom and rocket lawyer were useful for TOS and privacy policy and occasionally review NDA, etc.

3. Base camp ToS and privacy policy are available online and free to use

Ask HN: Know any good marketplace ToS/ToC I can reference or use? | Aug 2021

Ask HN: How did you write your side project's ToS? | Feb 2020
Basecamp has open-sourced their policies under CC BY 4.0, which means you can use those as long as you include the attribution: https://github.com/basecamp/policies

When/if you reach a certain scale, it will make sense to find a lawyer who can customize those policies for your business (or maybe even draft new ones).

Show HN: A set of standard document templates | Jan 2020
This is very cool! Would love to see a set of template legal documents on there too someday, something like Basecamp's https://github.com/basecamp/policies
