SaaS Legal Starter Pack (ToS / Privacy / DPA / Refund)

What you get

Four production-ready DOCX templates — Terms of Service, Privacy Policy, Data Processing Addendum, and Refund and Cancellation Policy — pre-filled with the fictional Northwind Onboard SaaS so every clause is readable in context before you edit it. Each document comes in four visually distinct styles, from a clean minimalist layout to a bold enterprise-facing format, so the finished pages fit your product's tone. A plain-English deployment note rounds out the pack with step-by-step guidance on getting all four docs live.

Who it's for

Built for indie hackers and pre-seed SaaS founders who are shipping v1 and need credible, GDPR-aware legal coverage without a $5,000 attorney retainer. If you are days from launch and still have placeholder text in your footer, this pack removes that blocker in a single working day.

What's inside

• Terms of Service template — covers acceptable use, account termination, liability limits, and governing law, written for a subscription SaaS billing model
• Privacy Policy template — GDPR-aware, addresses data collection, retention periods, third-party processors, and user rights with lawful-basis language included
• Data Processing Addendum (DPA) — structured for EU data transfers, with controller and processor role definitions, sub-processor list placeholders, and standard contractual clause references
• Refund and Cancellation Policy — handles monthly and annual billing cycles, prorated credit logic, and dispute resolution language suitable for Stripe-based checkouts
• Four visual style variants — minimalist, professional, bold enterprise-facing, and a neutral document-first layout, applied consistently across all four templates
• Northwind Onboard sample fill — a fictional SaaS used throughout so you can read each clause in a realistic product context before replacing the details with your own
• Internal deployment note — a plain-text guide covering hosting, footer linking, cookie consent banner setup, and version-control practices for legal documents

How to use it

Open any template in Word or Google Docs, read through the Northwind Onboard sample text to understand each clause, then replace the placeholder company name, product details, and jurisdiction fields with your own. Work through the deployment note to host the finalized pages, link them from your footer, and configure a cookie consent banner before you go live. These templates are a starting point only, not legal advice — have them reviewed by qualified counsel before you handle sensitive user data at scale.
