User agreement form help?

Our website is providing a service to customers that require them to download and install an application (exe file) to use the service.

For the software and service agreement form that the user must consent to (to make sure the user are over the age of 18 and they agree with the form), do I need an actual lawyer to create it or are there available templates out there that I can use?

Also, does it matter when the user must click "ok" to the agreemnt form: either client software installation or when they are signing up for their account on the website?

Btw, the website/service I'm providing is actually pretty legit. It is not an adult/gamble site and the software clients download has no malware/spyware. I just want to make sure all my bases are covered.

Any suggestions will be helpful!

I'd still secure legal counsel if I were you, however, one of the easier things to do is try and find a company that provides similar services and model your UA from that. Note the key word: model. Don't copy, but use it as a guideline.

It would be the most cost effective to model your UA after an existing one and THEN take it to a lawyer. Lawyer fees are expensive, and if the lawyer proofreads your document and makes changes in 1 hour, it's a lot better than having him/her spend 3 hours to write a new one for you.

To answer your question about when to have them agree... What is the UA about? Is it about their account with your service or the piece of software itself? I'd present the UA for agreement at the time it applies most to.

Best of luck!
