Legal Policies and Terms Index (Basecamp)
Open Legal LibraryUpdated 17 Oct 2025
This document serves as an index to 37signals' collection of legal policies and terms, such as their Terms of Service, Privacy Policy, and Service Level Agreements. It notes that the project is no longer maintained and directs users to their official website for the most current versions.
[name of company] Policies, Terms, and Legal Stuff
The rough print and the fine print. We try to make all our policies as clear, fair, and readable as possible.
List policies and links to policies if able.
A Note About the Email Addresses
You can always reach us at [support email]. [name of product/service] customers can also email [support email for product]. Your emails all go to our same friendly Support team.
So how come the links don't work in this repository? The short answer is: we made a technical tradeoff. The long answer is, we copy the policies in this repository to our product marketing sites. To make it easier to transfer, we are now using relative links, this Jekyll plugin to convert Markdown links to a valid web URL, and some Liquid variables.
Public Contributions Welcome
We welcome our customers—you!—to suggest changes to our policies and to offer feedback on the changes we have planned. Please do chime in on any open pull request, or even file a pull request yourself.

About this template
What is this template?
This document is a policy directory and licensing notice that consolidates links to separate legal terms. It is not a service agreement or a privacy policy itself, but it contains a specific grant of rights under the Creative Commons Attribution license. It features a technical note regarding Markdown link conversion and Jekyll plugins used for policy hosting.
When should you use it?
Use this when you need a landing page for your legal section that encourages public contributions via pull requests. Use a Terms of Service template instead if you need to establish a binding contract for software access.
Who it's for
- a company organizing various public-facing legal policies into a single readable index
- an organization sharing its internal policies as open-source materials under CC BY 4.0
- a service provider listing support contact details for multiple product lines

Templates in our curated library are professionally drafted for US or UK law. The wider library comes from the GitLaw community and public sources - a solid starting point, but check any template fits your situation before you rely on it.
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.
