    So, who wrote your agreements?

    Well it's coming up to a time where I need to get a couple of agreements made (TOS/SLA) and I was wondering who wrote yours.

    Did you get it done privately with a lawyer? Did you use a generic one? Did you do it yourself?

    Please discuss

    Did it myself, from scratch, 5 years ago. Took a few days, some revisions, and got it legally reviewed. But all in all, once done was a very satisfying experience
    I've seen our TOS copied by many hosts, which is a little bit annoying but not enough to be bothered.

    I spent several days with my lawyer ironing out a TOS and AUP.

    To this day, we revisit the TOS/AUP every couple of months to see if there needs to be revisions.

    At first I read some other hosts Terms of Service for reference. Then I wrote mine including important factors from other hosts. Doing this, I have covered every aspect!

    You would certainly want one that is familiar with the industry you are involved in and the potential issues one may encounter with your specific type of company.

    i did my own copying ideas from others but in my own language. as the compnay gets bigger, i plan to get it reviewed by a lawyer, but for now, it's working out.

    I made the TOS with help of my big brother & Dad, also I got it revised by my friend who is a law expert.
    So that in future, I'll won't face any problems.

    I've studied law most of my life so I knew most of the stuff that needed to be there - also looked around for stuff I may have missed, etc. And I know plenty of lawyer people (have family in law areas) and I've had it reviewed a few times..

    Although I made a few changes a month or so ago...haven't had a lawyer look at it since then lol - but changes weren't too drastic...can't wait to get my own law degree in a few years.

    that's bound to happen - I've actually had someone ask me if he could use our ToS as a template for his own lol - since has asked nicely I gave him permission to do so. Other than that, I'm not a 100% sure if anybody else used ours as a "template"

    fun writing rules huh?
