ChatGPT Prompt for Terms and Conditions: 10 Draft Prompts

A ChatGPT prompt for terms and conditions can get your draft organized before you pay for legal review. The 10 prompts below help you map clauses to how your product really works, catch conflicts, and write clear questions for your lawyer. This is not legal advice: a licensed lawyer in your jurisdiction should review everything before it goes live.

Map what your terms must cover

1. Practice inventory

Interview me about how [product] works: accounts, payments, trials, refunds, user content, and age limits. Ask one question at a time and summarize my answers in a table.

2. Clause map

From this practice list [paste], list the clauses my terms need, each tied to the practice it covers, and mark which ones need a lawyer's decision.

3. Conflict finder

Compare what my pricing page, checkout, and emails promise [paste] with how the product works [paste]. List every conflict with the exact wording from each.

Draft in plain language

4. Subscription section

Draft a plain-language subscription and renewal section from these facts [price, billing period, trial, how to cancel], with [LAWYER] markers for legal choices.

5. User content section

Draft a user content section for [what users post and where it shows], keeping ownership with users and marking the license scope for my lawyer.

6. Acceptable use rules

Write acceptable use rules for [community or product] in plain language, based on problems we have actually seen [list].

Check before review

7. Privacy policy match

Compare my draft terms [paste] with my privacy policy [paste] and list anything that does not match.

8. Subscription disclosure check

Check my sign-up flow [describe each screen] for clear renewal price, trial end date, consent, and an easy way to cancel. List what is missing.

9. Readability pass

Rewrite these sections [paste] at a plain reading level without changing their meaning. Flag any sentence where plain wording might change the legal effect.

10. Lawyer question list

From my draft and the [LAWYER] markers [paste], write a short numbered list of questions to send my lawyer before our call.

Build the full draft package in one prompt

The flagship Terms and Conditions Prompt: Draft Checklist From Practices takes your business, practices, current promises, jurisdictions, and existing documents. It returns a clause map, plain draft sections, a conflict list, a subscription disclosure checklist, and lawyer questions. Its example prepares terms for a small yoga class app with a free trial.

What AI cannot do here

AI cannot tell you which laws apply to your business or choose your arbitration, liability, or governing law terms. For online subscriptions in the US, federal law (ROSCA) and state automatic renewal laws such as California's set disclosure and cancellation rules, and a lawyer should confirm what applies to you. Never copy another company's terms.
