I will draft marketplace website terms and conditions
Licensed US Attorney, Premium Tech, SaaS and Business Contracts
About this Gig
Operating a multi-vendor marketplace (like Etsy, Uber, or Airbnb) is the most legally complex business model on the web. By mediating transactions between third-party buyers and sellers, you expose your platform to massive vicarious liability.
As a licensed U.S. attorney, I will draft airtight Marketplace Terms and Conditions designed to aggressively distance your platform from the liabilities, disputes, and actions of your users.
I strategically draft clauses covering:
- Broad platform indemnification (shielding you from user lawsuits)
- Commission structures, payout schedules, and escrow holds
- Clear Buyer and Seller rights and distinct responsibilities
- Intellectual property and counterfeit goods policies
- Independent contractor disclaimers for all third-party vendors
Your marketplace needs specialized legal architecture to scale safely and attract serious investors. I provide the high-end legal drafting required to keep your platform a mere facilitator, not a liability target. Select your package to get started today.

FAQ
How do marketplace terms differ from standard e-commerce?
Marketplace terms must regulate three distinct relationships: Platform-to-Buyer, Platform-to-Seller, and Buyer-to-Seller. E-commerce only covers one.
Will these terms protect my platform if a seller scams a buyer?
Yes. A core focus of my drafting is strictly limiting platform liability and explicitly stating you are merely a venue, not a party to the transaction.
Do you address third-party payment gateways like Stripe Connect?
Absolutely. I integrate necessary legal language regarding third-party payment processors, payout delays, and chargeback responsibilities.
What is the Dedicated Vendor Agreement in the Premium package?
It is a separate, vital contract specifically for your merchants/sellers. It establishes strict rules for what they can sell, how they ship, and platform fees.
Do I need a separate Privacy Policy?
Yes, because marketplaces collect vast amounts of buyer and seller data. The Premium package includes a custom Privacy Policy to address this.
