6. Privacy integration — does it properly reference the privacy policy?
7. DMCA/copyright provisions — are safe harbor requirements met?
8. Consumer protection — does it comply with applicable consumer protection statutes?

Example Output

Tips

  • Clickwrap (checkbox) is far more enforceable than browsewrap (continued use = acceptance).
  • Check state-specific consumer arbitration rules — several states restrict mandatory arbitration for consumers.
  • Ensure the TOS is versioned and you retain records of which version each user accepted.
