What should a startup at the prototype stage do with Privacy Policy and Terms Of Use?

Question

Project management

Hello! I'll try to be as brief as possible.

Given:

• We are working on a SaaS startup. We are at the stage of an almost finished prototype
  
• Due to the specifics of the service, the main market is the USA, it is there that the hypothesis is planned to be tested
  
• There is a need to add "Terms Of Use" and "Privacy Policy" to the site
  
• I don’t want to spend money / time working with a dedicated lawyer (besides, the case is quite unusual and it will take a long time to look for the right specialist)
  
• One of the founders has a registration as an individual entrepreneur from a previous project
  
• At the testing stage, we plan to accept payment on the website using the acquiring of a Russian company to the IP account
  
• If we get the first sales with good feedback, then we open a company in the US and change the "Terms Of Use" and "Privacy Policy" in the necessary paragraphs
  

There is a great desire to meaningfully copy the "Terms Of Use" and "Privacy Policy" from some Russian-language project and speak in it using the IP of one of the founders (as I understand legally it is "a sole trader") and mention the legal law of Russia.

Would it be right to do so? Perhaps there are other options?

Answer 1

There are proven generators for creating "Terms Of Use" and "Privacy Policy".

Answer 2

You need to do right under the project. And then copy to the courts)))

Answer 3

Generators were mentioned earlier, I also thought about them. For example getterms , which is quite flexible in its settings.
I think it's better to discuss the received documents with lawyers anyway, but it should be cheaper than doing it from scratch.

Answer 4

You can of course copy or generate agreements, but I would like to draw attention to the fact that you will accept payments from US citizens who like to file claims with or without cause. The US is a land of lawsuits and lawyers. Therefore, I recommend talking with the "local" lawyer, do not regret 300-500 dollars (or maybe cheaper), so that he brings you up to date. The lawyer should be "local", do not apply to the "local international specialist" - he will spin a cloud of garbage for your money, and you will be responsible.
