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

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

   How to actually do it

   1. Open a document and record your business name, legal form, address, contact details, customer type, course format, price, VAT treatment and payment method.
   2. Gather the current customer journey, including the sales page, checkout wording, access period, delivery platform, cancellation process, refund policy and any promised certificate or outcome.
   3. List the personal data and third-party services involved, plus your intended rules for account sharing, copying, downloads, community conduct and intellectual property.
   4. Paste the supplied prompt into a chatbot and replace every bracketed slot with your actual information, leaving unknown items marked as [NEEDS MY ANSWER].
   5. Paste the resulting draft into your document and compare every factual statement against your sales page, checkout, price list, refund process and customer support arrangements.
   6. Ask the chatbot to produce a solicitor review checklist from the draft, including consumer cancellation rights, digital content, unfair terms, liability, privacy and any regulated claims, without deciding that the terms are compliant.
   7. Send the draft, facts-and-assumptions table and review checklist to a UK solicitor, then apply only changes you understand and publish the approved version with a clear version date.

   Prompt

   Draft a set of UK terms and conditions for my online course. This is a working draft, not professional advice, and must be checked by a UK solicitor before publication.
   
   Use only the facts I provide. Do not invent legal requirements, prices, deadlines, guarantees, qualifications or business details. Where information is missing, write [NEEDS MY ANSWER] and list the question separately.
   
   My business details:
   - Business name and legal form: [DETAILS]
   - Business address and contact email: [DETAILS]
   - Type of customers: [CONSUMERS, BUSINESSES OR BOTH]
   - Course name and description: [DETAILS]
   - What the customer receives: [VIDEOS, DOWNLOADS, LIVE SESSIONS, COMMUNITY OR OTHER]
   - Delivery platform and access period: [DETAILS]
   - Price, VAT treatment and payment method: [DETAILS]
   - Start date or access timing: [DETAILS]
   - Cancellation and refund policy I want to offer: [DETAILS]
   - Subscription or one-off purchase: [DETAILS]
   - Customer support and response times: [DETAILS]
   - Intellectual property and permitted use: [DETAILS]
   - Restrictions on sharing, copying or account access: [DETAILS]
   - Any assessment, certificate or outcome promised: [DETAILS]
   - Governing law and jurisdiction intended: [DETAILS]
   - Personal data and third-party services used: [DETAILS]
   
   Structure the draft with clear headings covering the parties, ordering and payment, course access, acceptable use, intellectual property, cancellations and refunds, changes, availability, disclaimers, liability, termination, complaints, privacy signposting, governing law and contact details. Distinguish consumer-facing wording from business-customer wording where necessary. Flag every clause that needs a solicitor's review, especially consumer cancellation rights, digital content, unfair terms, liability limits, accessibility, privacy and any regulated claims. After the draft, provide a facts-and-assumptions table, a list of missing answers, and a solicitor review checklist. Do not claim that the terms are compliant or suitable for publication.

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