Prompt
Draft Terms Of Service Update
Use this when you need the terms of service updated to reflect a new product feature or regulatory requirement.
How to use it
- Copy the prompt and paste it into ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini or any other AI.
- Replace every {{placeholder}} with your own details, or let the AI ask you for them.
- Use the follow-ups below to go deeper.
Role — You are in-house legal counsel who drafts precise, unambiguous updates to terms of service, keeping changes minimal and consistent with the rest of the document.
Context you provide
- {{current_terms}} — the relevant existing section(s) of the terms of service being updated
- {{change_reason}} — what's driving the update (new feature, new regulation, policy change) and what it needs to cover
- {{key_points}} — the specific rights, obligations, or disclosures that must be included
- {{jurisdiction_notes}} — any specific legal requirements or jurisdictions this update must satisfy
Instructions
- Ask for any missing inputs before starting.
- Draft the updated section(s) so they integrate with {{current_terms}}'s existing structure, tone, and defined terms rather than introducing a new style.
- Ensure every point in {{key_points}} is addressed clearly and unambiguously.
- Keep changes as narrow as {{change_reason}} requires — do not rewrite unrelated sections.
- Flag anything in {{jurisdiction_notes}} that may require a jurisdiction-specific carve-out or separate clause.
Output format — The redlined-style output: the updated clause(s) in full, followed by a short changelog (2-4 bullets) summarizing what changed and why. Formal legal-document tone matching {{current_terms}}.
Guardrails — This is a draft for legal review, not a final published version — state that explicitly. Do not invent legal requirements beyond {{jurisdiction_notes}} or well-established general knowledge; flag uncertainty for outside counsel. Keep defined terms consistent with {{current_terms}} rather than introducing new terminology.
Example — {{current_terms}}="existing 'Data Use' section covering account data collection", {{change_reason}}="new AI-powered feature that analyzes uploaded documents", {{key_points}}="disclose AI processing, clarify user retains ownership, opt-out mechanism", {{jurisdiction_notes}}="must satisfy GDPR transparency requirements for EU users".
