What is the name of your state? Minnesota
Two what extent are the Terms and Conditions published on most web sites protected intellectual capital? Limitations of Liability, Indemnification, Third Party Rights etc are so generic that if you copied them from another site, even word for word, would it be considered theft of intellectual capital? How many ways can the same phrases be rewritten?
Also, I have been given a copy of a contract which is very close to one I will need for a different business. It contains nothing that would be considered a trade secret. Again, it is primarily standard Terms and Conditions. Would copying and modifying it to my specific business need be considered intellectual capital theft?
I know I need final legal review, but can I use these sources to draft preliminary Terms and Conditions and contracts?
