Default Re-Use Legal Docs?

Hey everyone,

I've been looking for an answer to this question for a little while now, but can't seem to find an answer...

Does anyone know if it's ok to use another company’s legal document and tweak some of the wording to better fit your business?

Such as "Terms & Services" or an "End User License Agreement" for software, "Disclaimers" etc.

I have some good ones that I my business identifies with, and that I believe work well, but I don't know if the legal documents are copyrighted, or fair game.

Any insight would be incredible, and greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

You might want to check this site from the "U.S. Copyright Office."

Good luck to you...
