I was having a nice e-mail conversation with a BIG player in the biz today, UNTIL I pointed that their TOS was copy/pasted from Amazon, and they forgot to delete the word "Amazon"...
Ooops...

Ooops...
that's pretty funny.... what was their response?
The conv went from friendly to none...
But now the words are gone from their TOS.
If a second set of eyes finds something and tells me about it, I'm usually pretty appreciative...
Well...you did the right thing. If they have a hard time accepting that then too bad. I would certainly appreciate you pointing it out to me. Then again, I wouldn't copy someone else's TOS. lol But hey...that's just me.
It's not a terrible idea, Amazons ToS is likely rock solid at both state and federal levels.
That was my first thought as well hahaQuote:

I guess copying someone's TOS might not be a bad thing due to it covering all bases etc - especially Amazon's - but it's probably best to rewrite it in order to avoid Google from penalizing for duplicate content. And they most likely would. I guess it depends too if the TOS page is something you want to get crawled regularly.
This is why I personally wouldn't copy someone else's TOS.
