Can You Copy Someone Else’s Contract? Here’s What You Need to Know

Let’s be real—at some point, every business owner has copied and pasted something legal from someone else’s website. Maybe it was a refund policy. Maybe it was a contract. Either way, it happens.

But here’s the thing: copying someone else’s contract is not just legally risky—it can totally backfire.

Here’s why it’s a problem:

• You don’t know where it came from or if it’s legally sound

• It may not apply to your state, business model, or services

• You could accidentally agree to terms that put you at a disadvantage

• You have no idea if it even protects you

The better way? Start with a contract template written by someone who knows what they’re doing. A good template is clear, customizable, and built to protect your actual business—not someone else’s.

And honestly? It’s worth it.

Because you don’t need to be a lawyer. You just need tools that make the legal part easy and doable.
