Is there any stock TOS/Privacy Policy for a typical SaaS? I feel like the requirements for most are similar, and they tend to cover a superset of things in case the business pivots later.
I did hire a lawyer to write one for me and got some nonsense irrelevant references to mobile apps and user created content, full of typos, so back to the start... (to be clear, the extra clauses weren't the issue, but a template full of typos seems inherently less trustworthy to me than a random template without typos)
I recommend Kyle Michell's Fast Path [0] terms. I'll grant that I'm familiar with Michell's work, but haven't read these particular terms. Kyle Michell publishes 'plain language' licenses. For example, compare how Blue Oak Model [1] and MIT [2] grant permission. Obviously, Michell has the benefit of lots of discourse following the induction of MIT's license and indicates a link can substitute for the full license text. I highlight this, not to argue for Blue Oak, but to indicate that Michell's Fast Path terms likely take half the space of typical software terms.
