Legal Documents Built for Content Creators
Digital products are licensed, streamed, downloaded, renewed, and shared in ways that ordinary retail templates do not address well.
Selling a course, a membership, a paid newsletter, or a downloadable file is different from selling a physical product. The customer is receiving a license to access or use the content, not ownership of the intellectual property itself. The contract should say that clearly and should also explain what access rights the customer receives and which restrictions apply.
This becomes important when access can be suspended, revoked, refunded, renewed, or shared in ways that were not intended. Content businesses often see disputes over login sharing, download rights, refund requests after access has been granted, and the reuse of course or community material. Generic store terms tend to treat all of that as though it were a simple retail purchase like a box shipped through ordinary checkout.
TermsBuilder helps by turning your business model into clear rules. A paid membership community, a digital download business, and a course platform do not need identical documents. Your terms and privacy language should reflect how access is granted, what is licensed, what happens after cancellation, and which tools are collecting user information along the way.
What Your Documents Will Cover
- License language for courses, downloads, and gated content
- Access, suspension, and revocation rules
- Account sharing and unauthorized use restrictions
- Digital goods refund and cancellation terms
- Membership and recurring billing language where applicable
- Community and user content rules for member spaces
- Intellectual property and reuse restrictions
- Privacy disclosures for checkout, email, community, and learning tools
