I do not have the money to pay some hot-shot lawyer to write up an AUP/TOS. Are there any free alternatives, besides copying one from an already established company?

Thanks greatly. :)

Asking an already established company if they'd mind. :)

-decide what you will allow
-what you won't
-what the penalties are for breaking your rules
-DON'T copy, but use as a guideline 'one from an already established company'
-DON'T use words of which you don't understand the meaning, rather, use a dictionary and a thesaurus
-DON'T misspell words, rather, use a dictionary and a thesaurus
-don't make it overly complex nor too long
-don't use unnecessary terminology but don't write it like a fourth grader
-don't make it 8 pages long (http://www.webhostingtalk.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=72302#post558004 :laugh: )

use common sense (that's what I did : )

Try asking your provider, they will probably alow you to use theirs.

There was a recent thread where TOS was discussed and some ppl offered theirs for reference. I contacted one of the ppl in that thread and asked if I could borrow liberaly from their TOS and they were kind enough to say yes.

I got in contact with a solicitor through a local Business Enterprise Centre (something we have here in NSW, AU) and she said she would look over mine for me, but never got back to me :(
