  Old  Hosting TOS/AUP/PP

Anyone got some sample web-hosting "Terms Of Use", "Acceptable Use Policies", and "Privacy Policies" I can view and/or use for a hosting company I am starting?
I am not sure what all I would need to place in them.

I would suggest Hostlegal.com. They have premade "protection" packages of TOS, SUP, PP written by an attorney. I'm sure I saw some free "templates" in the past. Search Google...

Yeah, unfortunatly my budget is limited and I connot afford to purchase or have an attorney write me a custom one. If anyone could share their's and allow me to take ideas/parts of them to compile one of my own then that'd be great and much appriciated.

Sure,

It came standard with a reseller package I bought from Hostgator.com a while ago. Did not come with anything saying it could not be re used, or edited. Just came with a free template that they gave out.
