What is a mobile app terms of use template?
A mobile app terms of use template is a reusable contract that you, the developer, present to anyone who downloads and uses your app. It combines a EULA (End User License Agreement) — the licence to install and run the software — with broader terms of service covering accounts, payments, content and conduct. Rather than hiring a lawyer to draft one from scratch, you answer a few questions about your app and this generator assembles a document you can link inside the app and on its App Store and Google Play listings. Everything runs client-side, so your details never leave your device.
Why your app needs terms of use
App-store policy makes terms of use effectively mandatory. The Apple App Store Review Guidelines require a EULA and a privacy policy, and where you do not supply your own EULA, Apple's standard Licensed Application End User License Agreement applies by default. The Google Play Developer Program Policies similarly require a privacy policy and clear terms for apps that handle accounts, payments or sensitive data. Beyond store compliance, terms of use protect you legally: they define the limited licence you grant, restrict reverse-engineering and abuse, disclaim warranties, cap your liability, and choose the courts that will hear any dispute. Apps that ship without them risk rejection at review, removal after launch, or unenforceable positions in a dispute.
What you fill in
In Step 1 you enter the app name, your developer or company name, a support email, an optional website, and the platforms you publish on (iOS, Android, or both). In Step 2 you choose your monetisation model — free, paid download, in-app purchases, auto-renewable subscription, or free-with-ads — and the generator inserts the right billing language. In Step 3 you tick optional clauses (user-generated content, accounts, third-party SDKs, age rating, data and privacy, updates, intellectual property, termination) and choose the Indian city and state for governing law and jurisdiction.
App-store and India-specific clauses you get
When you select iOS, the document appends an Apple App Store schedule containing the minimum terms Apple expects: acknowledgement that the agreement is between you and the user (not Apple), the scope of the licence, a maintenance-and-support statement, and Apple's status as a third-party beneficiary entitled to enforce the terms. Selecting Android adds a Google Play acknowledgement. For paid models you get clauses on in-app purchases and auto-renewable subscriptions billed through the store, auto-renewal, cancellation, refunds handled by the platform, and price changes. The document is framed as a binding electronic contract under the Indian Contract Act 1872 and Information Technology Act 2000, with a governing-law clause naming the laws of India and your chosen jurisdiction, plus a reference to your privacy obligations under the Digital Personal Data Protection Act 2023.
How to use the generated EULA
Click Generate, review the preview, and export. Host the HTML on a public URL and add that link in App Store Connect and the Google Play Console (both stores have an EULA / terms field), and surface it on a first-run consent screen or settings page inside the app. Download the Markdown for your repository, or Print / PDF for your records. Pair the terms with a DPDPA privacy policy — both stores require a privacy policy URL alongside your terms.
⚠️ Not legal advice
This generator produces a structured starting template based on common app-store practice and Indian commercial law. It is not legal advice and does not create a lawyer-client relationship. App-store policies change frequently — verify the current Apple and Google requirements, and for apps handling payments, health, finance, or children's data, have a qualified Indian advocate review the document before you publish.
