Prompt GitHub Copilot to Write Terms of Service

Writing Terms of Service (ToS) is a crucial legal step for any website or application. This document governs the relationship between the publisher and its users, defining rights, obligations, and responsibilities of each party. Yet drafting complete ToS compliant with French and European law remains a complex exercise, often outsourced to specialized law firms. GitHub Copilot, integrated directly into your development environment, offers a complementary approach to generate a first structured version of your ToS. By leveraging its ability to produce contextualized legal text, you can quickly obtain a document covering essential clauses: purpose of the service, intellectual property, personal data protection, liability limitations, and termination conditions. This prompt is designed to guide Copilot in producing a professional document tailored to your type of platform. It does not replace validation by a legal professional but provides a solid foundation to significantly accelerate your legal drafting process.

FAQ

Are Terms of Service generated by GitHub Copilot legally valid?

ToS generated by Copilot provide a structured working draft, but they are not legally guaranteed as-is. GitHub Copilot is a writing assistance tool, not a legal advisor. The generated text covers standard clauses and follows the structure expected by French law, but it is essential to have the document reviewed and validated by a lawyer or legal expert before publication. Each activity has specific legal requirements (e-commerce, digital services, health data) that require human expertise to ensure full compliance.

How to adapt the prompt to my specific business sector?

Replace the generic descriptions in brackets with precise information about your business. For example, for an e-commerce site, specify delivery, return, and refund terms. For a SaaS platform, detail service levels (SLA), availability conditions, and data portability. For a marketplace, add the respective responsibilities of the platform and third-party sellers. The more context you provide Copilot about your business model, target users, and applicable sector regulations, the more relevant and usable the result will be.

What mandatory mentions must ToS absolutely contain in France?

Under French law, ToS must mandatorily include: the full identity of the publisher (company name, address, trade register, publication director), terms of use of the service, processing of personal data in accordance with GDPR (purposes, legal basis, retention period, rights of individuals), cookie policy, intellectual property conditions, limitations of liability, applicable law and competent jurisdiction, as well as remedies and mediation. For online sales sites, additional information is required on the right of withdrawal, legal guarantees, and online dispute resolution procedures (European ODR platform).
