Ask HN: What's the best plain-English TOS?

7 pointsby jaylevitt14 yıl önce4 comments

We're building a site that relies heavily on user-generated content. Pinterest has a great example of how to write terms in a legally-correct but overly-draconian-sounding way (http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3677393). I want to do better.

What are some great UGC sites with friendly, understandable, hey-the-lawyers-made-us-say-this-but-YOU-own-your-content terms?

If you take away the parts that relate to software developers, GitHub TOS is pretty straightforward: http://help.github.com/terms-of-service/

Facebook's ToS is the best I've seen. Unfortunately it's not creative commons licensed.
