Acceptable Use Policies Github Bullying And Harassment (GitHub)
This document outlines GitHub's policy against bullying and harassment on its platform. It defines various forms of prohibited conduct, such as targeted attacks, intimidation, and sexual advances, that are not tolerated. The policy also clarifies that actions like disagreeing or downvoting are generally not considered harassment.
GitHub Bullying and Harassment
We do not tolerate harassment, bullying, or abuse of any kind, whether directly or by encouraging others to take part in the prohibited conduct. This includes:
Targeted personal attacks
Piling on to or orchestrating disruptive activity in a way that amounts to abuse
Following another user around the platform in a manner that causes intimidation
Making sexual advances or comments directed at another individual
Disingenuously participating in conversation in a way that instigates conflict or undermines sincere discussion
Creating alternative accounts specifically to evade moderation action taken by GitHub staff or users
Please note, not all unwelcome conduct is necessarily considered harassment. For example, disagreeing with another user or downvoting their comments may not rise to the level of harassment on our platform. In addition, sharing criticism of public figures or projects, or topics of public interest, does not necessarily fall under this policy. However, we encourage you to be mindful in how you engage with other users and the platform, as this activity may still violate our restriction on disrupting the experience of other users.

Mostly US and UK law. Some templates use general commercial terms that work across jurisdictions, and many note which law they're written for.
It depends on the situation. Templates work well for routine business agreements. For anything involving significant money, complex IP, employment, or areas you're unsure about, it's worth getting professional advice before you sign. GitLaw provides templates and tools, not legal advice.
Open any template in GitLaw and describe the change you want in the chat — 'make clause 4 mutual' or 'add a 30-day notice period', for example. GitLaw drafts the revised language and shows it as a suggested edit. You accept, reject, or keep editing from there.
Yes. Upload a Word, PDF, or Markdown file and GitLaw will open it in the editor. You can review, edit, or chat with GitLaw about it the same way you would with any template from the library.
