Many proxy webmasters doesn’t know the importance of having Terms Of Service (TOS) on their proxy website. But why is TOS important for proxy websites?
On a daily basis your proxy website has many visitors, and let’s face it; it’s not only students who uses proxy websites. Hackers and pedophile may be preforming illegal actions from your proxy website, wich you are responsible for. Worst case scenario: You end up in jail.
Your terms of service (TOS) prevent you from beeing responsible for all illegal actions preformed by your visitors.
There is actually a great free service that you can use if you choose not to write your own TOS. ProxyTOS.com is a pre-written TOS for proxy webmasters. Just copy the text and paste it on your website.

I hope this helped you to a better understanding of why TOS is important for proxy websites.
It’s a nice TOS, but what about protections against damages caused by other websites through your proxy?
Don’t get me wrong, it covers most everything except that. I guess with a separate disclaimer, you’d have most legalities covered (I’m not a lawyer though).
By the way, you have a great site here.
