Hi,

Can someone please tell me where the Privacy Policy and Terms came from? Any background information would be appreciated, but in particular here are some more specific questions?

1. Have these documents been written or reviewed by a lawyer?

2. There is a reference to the State of Washington, USA. Is there a particular reason for that, or should this be a customized section based on the location of the business?

Thanks in advance,

John

If the documents weren't written by an attorney, that individual sure is better suited to draft the language than many practicing attorneys.

If you're serious about your business, it's  probably a good practice to get an inhouse counsel or consult with an attorney about your business...maybe it depends on the barriers of entry specific to the industry/sector and what the goals are for the business.

I can't speak for anyone else, however I've had mine reviewed and nothing seemed to have been flagged.

I was also thrilled that the base for all of that stuff was provided.
