The word free is littered around the home/pre-questionnaire pages, but click on generate to start the process and free vanishes rather quickly to be replaced with dollar signs. Strange marketing.
It is possible to generate a free privacy policy, although in my case that required selecting "no" when asked if I would pass over user details if faced with a subpoena (allowing for the possibility I might choose to comply would have been $3). It strikes me as highly unlikely that refusing to respond to a subpoena would have no serious ramifications, and I'd expect any information service with any shred of credibility to offer a view on that, and whether if I preferred to live dangerously, noncompliance with a subpoena is really a worse alternative than complying with a subpoena without express prior acknowledgment I might do so in the t&cs.
Of course, a decent general explanation is perhaps less likely to result in me paying for a "100% free" set of documents to "prevent legal issues" that are, according to this site's extremely short terms of use, "provided without any warranty, express or implied, including as to their legal effect and completeness".
Frankly I'd be more comfortable writing my own t&cs than trusting these guys...
Yeah, the claim of "free" gets annoying rather quickly since probably 99% of sites will do something that requires payment. For example, I went through with what I felt were fairly common practices (totally arbitrary) and the cost of a privacy policy ended up being $30.
It looks like a useful service and it says their legal documents are prepared by professional lawyers, however, the footer, contact page and terms of their website do not state their company's registered address, or number – in fact I can't find this information anywhere?
I tried this, like a week or so ago actually. I paid $46 for a terms doc and it wasn't good. Like the idea, and it's very similar in principal to one of my products (generate a document based on your needs), but it's simply not sophisticated enough yet. I wrote them and the refunded the purchase immediately so as far as who's behind it and their integrity, they were top shelf for me.
I would've paid more for a better, more tailored document.
I seem to recall the idea was that they keep your terms up to date with evolution of services you rely on (i.e. when you compose the ToS you select Google Analytics, S3, Facebook, Mixpanel etc, and appropriate clauses are included, and kept up to date as third party update their own legal stuff).
Hi guys, part of iubenda here. First, we know we have to work on driving a couple of points home.
There's a free, yearly or monthly subscription. The subscriptions really just divide a bigger chunk of money into smaller very affordable bits.
If you need the basic, free bit, perfect. Otherwise the SaaS system is in place for us to deliver a sophisticated service at very little up front cost. If you keep using it you get the updates pushed right to your app. The license can be reused on new projects, too.
This seems like a useful service, but a bit more information on who is vetting these agreements and about the company behind the service would be helpful.
The following page results in a 403, as a heads up.
