About this template
What is this template?
This document is a legal policy setting rules for website access and interaction rather than a sales contract. It contains specific sections for AI-generated responses and moral rights consents for user-uploaded photos. It is not suitable for online marketplaces, SaaS products, or subscription services which require dedicated service terms.
When should you use it?
Use this template when launching a public-facing website for an Australian entity where users might create profiles or leave reviews. Use an Australian Terms of Sale or SaaS Agreement instead if the primary purpose is processing payments or providing software functionality.

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.
