Are you about to start an online shop? Very good, your own online shop is a great way to earn money on the internet. But you have to consider a few things to make your new online shop legally secure. It is very important that you provide the most important legal texts and information about your online shop.
Let’s face it, no one will ever read your privacy policy or shipping statement… but it’s still very important to have these pages and show them to your potential buyers.
But how do you get these wording? There are now many online generators to generate these texts or pages. However, it is not easy to find a free generator online. For example, if you search Google for “free privacy policy generator” you will get a lot of results. But the problem is that most of the sites you see are either not free or not of good quality.
Since I often create online shops for clients or for myself, I need these “free legal page generators” quite often. In this article, I want to show you the best free legal text generators. So you don’t need to search Google for a long time and also avoid the potential “cost traps”, and you can use this article to create all the necessary legal texts easily and free of charge.
Please note that this article is not legal advice! I’m only speaking from my own experience here, I’m NOT a lawyer! For absolute legal certainty, please contact an online-law attorney!
Which legal pages do you need for your online shop?
Of course, it always depends on the country in which you want to sell your products. But there is no harm in having too much legal text on your online shop, rather than too little.
Therefore, you should include all legal texts in your online shop that I make available to you here. However, you should definitely read again or look for which legal texts are mandatory in your long and, if necessary, supplement these legal texts.
Especially if you want to sell within Europe, you sometimes need different legal texts on your website then I provide here. You must therefore find out exactly which legal texts are mandatory for your region.
However, if you want to sell within the United States of America, you need the following legal texts or pages: Return And Refund Policy, Privacy Policy, Terms and Conditions, Delivery Information, DMCA, Shipping Policy, Payment Methods.
Of course, that sounds like a lot of texts or pages to add to your online shop… but with the free generators that I’ll show you here, it’s relatively quick and easy.
You should copy some information into a document so that you can quickly insert this information into the generators and thus save time and not always have to enter all the information manually.
This information is for example: the shop email address, the shop URL, the legal form, who is responsible, the physical address, and the contact person.
Here are the best free legal page generators
Please note, however, that I cannot give any guarantees for the correctness and topicality of the texts produced. If you want to be 100% secure, you should contact a lawyer who will read the texts and check that they are correct and up-to-date!
(Note that all the tools are free at the time of my research, it may of course have changed in the meantime. Therefore I do not assume any guarantees for the correctness or topicality of the tools I describe here!)
Return And Refund Policy Generator
It is very important to have a strong return policy page on your online store. It is not easy to find a free generator on the internet. Most of these so-called “Free Tools” will charge you at the end of the form money to be able to download the generated return policy. Here I found a really free and easy-to-use return policy generator.

Privacy Policy Generator
If you search for a free privacy policy generator on Google, it’s very difficult to find a truly free generator. Most generators ask for a certain amount of money at the end of the process to provide you with the data, or you can only use certain options if you pay money. But I found a really free Privacy Policy Generator for you.
A privacy policy is probably the most important thing you need on a website as well as an online store.

Terms and Conditions Generator
Terms and Conditions are also very important when you create a website or online shop. So there are many different online tools that claim to be free… but you end up having to pay money if you want to download the generated terms and conditions page.
But I found a really free Terms and Conditions Generator tool for you (at least the tool was free during my research).

Delivery Information Generator
This information is very important to give your customers an overview of the delivery methods and shipping times. Unfortunately there is no generator for this, but I have linked an example text for you. There you can copy the text and paste it into your page. Of course you have to change and adapt the specific information. If you edit the delivery information page, you should still clarify which regulations apply in your country and whether all the necessary information is included in the text.

DMCA Generator
DMCA is the abbreviation for “Digital Millennium Copyright Act”, a US law for the enforcement of copyright disputes. The law went into effect in the United States in 1998. Due to the spread of the Internet, new regulations were necessary. Among other things, circumventing copy protection and digital distribution of copyrighted material is punishable. In the USA, website operators can register with the U.S. Register Copyright Office. First and foremost, the operators protect themselves against copyright infringements on their own website.
