Terms of Use / Terms of Service Standard document for Apache somewhere?

Hi,

in Apache OpenMeetings we provide a sign up form / registration.
Normally such a registration contains a ToS or similar document the users
accepts.
The Apache License itself is certainly not the Terms of Use.

Does the Apache Legal team have an example or certain rules for such a
Terms of Use / Terms of Service that we could use in our sign up form?
Such a basic "Terms of Use" document could be useful for other projects too.


Thanks!
Sebastian

The terms of service are up to the folks running that service to define.

With my infra hat on, I am not aware that the ASF is running such a service.

A simple "Terms of Service Go Here" should be all that is required. We
should not be getting into the business of providing a standard set of
terms for folks to use.

The terms of service are up to the folks running that service to define.

A simple "Terms of Service Go Here" should be all that is required. We
should not be getting into the business of providing a standard set of
