Terms & Conditions / Privacy Policy

What is the name of your state? California

Our company is currently developing a website that will sell advertising space (similar to an online phone directory but with many additional functions). Are there legal implications to consider if using a slightly modified version of a competitors "terms & conditions" and "privacy policy?" If there ARE legal implications, how should my fine print differ? Thank you very much.

p.s. This site will be functional on a national level, so if anybody out there is interesting in publishing a listing (free of charge) let me know. I need to start stocking my virtual "shelves"...

Your terms & conditions / privacy policy can make the same points as a competitor's, but you can't use its literal language. It is copyrighted as a textual work, just like a book or any other piece of writing.
