Acceptable Use Policies Github Misinformation And Disinformation (GitHub)
This document outlines GitHub's policy on misinformation and disinformation, prohibiting content that distorts reality and is likely to cause public harm or interfere with civic participation. It also specifically disallows projects designed to create non-consensual intimate imagery or other prohibited misinformation using synthetic or manipulated media tools.
GitHub Misinformation and Disinformation
You may not post content that presents a distorted view of reality, whether it is inaccurate or false (misinformation) or is intentionally deceptive (disinformation), where such content is likely to result in harm to the public or to interfere with fair and equal opportunities for all to take part in a free and open society. This may include:
Inaccurate or scientifically unsupported medical claims that endanger public health or safety
Manipulated media, whether audio or visual, likely to mislead or deceive in a way that may harm the public interest
False or misleading content likely to interfere with an individual's ability to participate in civic activities
Unsubstantiated claims that could promote hate or targeted harassment of specific groups of people
We encourage active participation in the expression of ideas, perspectives, and experiences and may not be in a position to dispute personal accounts or observations. We generally allow parody and satire that is in line with our Acceptable Use Policies, and we consider context to be important in how information is received and understood. When reviewing content under this policy, GitHub will consider the impact of various factors that may help to orient the viewer, such as whether the content has been provided with clear disclaimers, citations to credible sources, or includes other details that clarify the accuracy of the information being shared.
Synthetic & Manipulated Media Tools
GitHub does not allow any projects that are designed for, encourage, promote, support, or suggest in any way the use of synthetic or manipulated media for the creation of non-consensual intimate imagery or any content that would constitute misinformation or disinformation under this policy.

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.
