How a Business Hired a Lawyer to Draft a Terms of Service & Privacy Policy in California (2026)

In 2026, a business in California sought assistance with drafting Terms of Service and Privacy Policy documents for an AI-powered SaaS tool designed to help families navigate developmental disability services. The client required a qualified attorney to perform a clearance review on nearly finalized documents, evaluate potential liability exposure for their premium tier services, and review the terms of a service provider agreement from a third party. Specific considerations included confirming the storage of metadata in compliance with legal requirements and ensuring proper language to limit liability risks under California law. As a result, the client received eight proposals from California-licensed attorneys, with flat fee bids ranging from $249 to $2,999, all submitted to meet the client's requested deadline of one week.
