As of 13 August 2026, AI can only partly draft client terms and conditions.

What to actually do

1. Hand it to a person

   The route this page recommends

   Someone with a licence or accountable authority has to sign this before it counts.

2. Use a tool built for this

   Second choice

3. Do it yourself

   The distant third

   A chat interface, power-user skill, and roughly 1 hour until you can act on the result.

   How to actually do it

   1. Open your current price list, proposal, invoice terms, privacy notice and client onboarding documents, then collect the facts requested in the prompt.
   2. Confirm whether you sell to consumers, businesses or both, and identify whether your business operates under England and Wales, Scottish or Northern Irish law.
   3. Paste the completed prompt and source information into a chatbot, then ask it to produce the draft, missing-input list, solicitor-review list and plain-English summary in that order.
   4. Copy the draft into your normal document template and compare every price, service description, payment term, cancellation rule and contact detail against your current business documents.
   5. Remove or correct every [NEEDS INPUT] marker by making the underlying business decision, rather than asking the model to guess.
   6. Send the draft, the source documents and the model's solicitor-review list to a UK solicitor, asking them to check consumer law, enforceability, liability, refunds, intellectual property, data protection and the correct governing law.
   7. Apply the solicitor's changes, obtain internal approval, then publish the final version with a clear method for clients to accept it before work starts.

   Prompt

   Act as a drafting assistant, not a solicitor. Draft client terms and conditions for a UK business using only the information I provide, and mark every missing fact as [NEEDS INPUT] rather than guessing.

   Produce:
   1. A clear draft headed Client Terms and Conditions, with numbered clauses and defined terms used consistently.
   2. A short list of decisions and facts still needed before publication.
   3. A risk list identifying clauses that need review by a UK solicitor, especially consumer rights, unfair terms, liability exclusions, cancellation and refunds, intellectual property, data protection, governing law and any regulated activity.
   4. A plain-English summary of what the client is agreeing to.
   
   Do not claim that the terms are legally compliant, enforceable or suitable for every client. Do not invent statutory rights, deadlines, prices, legal citations or regulatory requirements. Separate business choices from legal points. Keep the wording proportionate to the information supplied.

   Open it prefilled in ChatGPT or Claude, or copy it into Gemini, which takes no prefill link.
