: Template for terms of condition for social media based website? I'm looking for a template for a terms of usage text based on social media websites. I'm actually a coder and not into the legal

@Kristi941

There are some open source templates on Docracy www.docracy.com/doc/search?query=terms
Best practice for budget-savvy people is to start from one of those, and then look at the Terms of Service of some competitors to check if you forgot anything. Privacy Policy is also drafted alongside the ToS, what you write in there highly depends on what data you collect.

Disclaimer: I work with the Docracy folks

There is no better example than the ones in use by the major social media websites themselves. Go to the websites of Twitter, Facebook, Google+, etc and check out their Terms. You can take pieces of each and put together one for your own website that way.

In addition to the link in the comments www.businesslink.gov.uk offers terms and conditions, privacy policy, and copyright disclaimer templates, which should also give you some guidance.

Do bear in mind these are based on UK law and may not apply adequately in the jurisdiction your website operates in, or where your website is hosted, and these location's law's are just as important as where you are physically located.
