As of 13 August 2026, AI can only partly draft membership terms for your UK business.

This still needs a person who signs their name to it.

What the alternative costsThe supplied tool information gives no price for a solicitor or legal drafting service; Genie AI is a UK-focused AI legal assistant for drafting and reviewing everyday contracts.

If this goes wrong: members may rely on unclear or unenforceable terms and your business may face disputes, refunds or legal claims.

A chat interface, chat-fluent skill, and roughly 2 hours until you can act on the result.

How to actually do it

Open your current price list, membership description, cancellation policy, complaints process and member rules, and gather the exact wording and details.
List the business name, legal entity, address, membership eligibility, services included, exclusions, prices, payment dates, minimum term, renewal process and contact details.
Paste the prompt into a chatbot and replace every bracketed slot with your confirmed business information, leaving a slot as [NEEDS DECISION] where you have no settled policy.
Ask the chatbot to produce the draft, assumptions table, missing-decisions list and solicitor-review list specified in the prompt.
Compare every commercial clause against your current price list, customer journey, payment process, cancellation process and complaints procedure, then correct any mismatch in the draft.
Check the draft's consumer-law, data-protection and sector-specific warnings against current GOV.UK guidance, without treating that check as legal approval.
Send the draft and the chatbot's flagged issues to a UK solicitor, ask them to review enforceability and consumer compliance, and publish only the version they approve.

Prompt

Draft membership terms for a UK business using the information below. Write in clear plain English, use numbered clauses, and do not invent facts, prices, rights or legal requirements. Where information is missing, insert [NEEDS DECISION] and explain the decision needed rather than guessing. Cover: who can join, membership eligibility, what the membership includes and excludes, fees and payment dates, price changes, minimum term, renewal, cancellation and cooling-off rights where relevant, suspension or termination, refunds, missed payments, member conduct, access restrictions, intellectual property, complaints, liability and contact details. Distinguish business-to-consumer points from business-to-business points and flag provisions that need checking against UK consumer law, equality law, data protection law and any sector-specific rules. Keep privacy and cookie matters in a separate list of issues rather than pretending this document replaces a privacy notice. After the draft, provide: (1) a table of every assumption, (2) a list of missing decisions, (3) clauses that need a UK solicitor to review, and (4) a plain-English summary of the member's main rights and obligations. Business details: [BUSINESS NAME AND LEGAL ENTITY]. Business address: [ADDRESS]. Membership type and service: [DESCRIPTION]. Members: [WHO CAN JOIN]. Price and payment schedule: [DETAILS]. Minimum term and renewal: [DETAILS]. Cancellation and refund policy: [DETAILS]. Suspension or termination rules: [DETAILS]. Member conduct rules: [DETAILS]. Complaints contact: [DETAILS]. Governing law and location: [DETAILS].

What it gets wrong

AI cannot decide which membership rights and restrictions your business can lawfully impose on different types of member.
AI cannot reliably identify every fact that changes the effect of cancellation, renewal, refund or liability clauses.
AI cannot confirm that the terms comply with current UK consumer law, data protection law or sector-specific regulation.
AI cannot take responsibility if a member relies on an unlawful, misleading or unenforceable clause.
AI cannot replace a solicitor's judgement on unusual risks, disputes or high-value memberships.

What caps this at PARTLY: legal accountability, regulated advice and judgement under ambiguity.

FAQ

Can ChatGPT write membership terms for my business?: Yes, it can produce a useful first draft from your membership rules, prices and cancellation process. It cannot confirm that the draft is lawful or enforceable, so a UK solicitor should review terms before you publish them.
Are AI-generated membership terms legally binding in the UK?: The fact that AI drafted them does not make terms legally binding or invalid. Their effect depends on how they are presented, accepted and applied, and on whether the clauses comply with applicable UK law.
What should membership terms include?: They normally need to explain eligibility, the service, fees, payment, renewal, cancellation, refunds, suspension, termination, conduct, complaints and liability. The exact content depends on your members, service, sector and whether members are consumers or businesses.
Do I need a solicitor to check AI-drafted membership terms?: For terms you will publish to customers, solicitor review is the safe route because you remain responsible for the result. This is not professional advice. A serious or high-risk case needs a UK solicitor.
