The prompt
--- SCOPE --- SITUATION: I am a [DESCRIBE YOUR ROLE — e.g. business owner, office manager, sole trader] and I have just been asked to accept the following terms and conditions (or privacy policy, software agreement, or service contract). CHALLENGE: I need to understand what I am actually agreeing to before I accept. I do not have a legal background and I need this explained in plain, everyday language. Here are the terms: [PASTE THE FULL TERMS AND CONDITIONS HERE] EVALUATE: Go through this document and give me: 1. PLAIN ENGLISH SUMMARY — Explain what this document says in simple language. Break it into sections. Use short sentences. No legal jargon. Write it so anyone could understand it. 2. WHAT YOU ARE AGREEING TO — List the key commitments, obligations, and permissions you are giving by accepting. Be specific. For example: "You are giving them permission to share your data with third-party advertising partners." 3. RED FLAGS — Flag anything unusual, one-sided, or that I should think twice about. This includes: automatic renewals, price increase clauses, data sharing with third parties, liability limitations, non-compete or exclusivity clauses, termination penalties, or anything that limits my rights more than is typical. 4. CANCELLATION AND EXIT — How do I cancel or leave? What notice period is required? Are there any fees or penalties for ending early? Is there a minimum commitment? 5. DATA AND PRIVACY — What data do they collect? Who do they share it with? Can I request deletion? Is my data stored outside the UK? 6. QUESTIONS TO ASK BEFORE ACCEPTING — Give me 3-5 specific questions I should ask the provider before I agree, based on anything unclear or concerning in these terms. Keep the whole response clear and practical. I want to understand this, not get a second legal document. If something is genuinely fine and standard, say so. I only need detail on the parts that matter.
