3 major legal documents you need for your app

1.) Terms and conditions document:
This document sets the ground for your app’s use by users. The rules for usage, limitations put in, and the criteria to continue use as well as conditions that will result in termination of accounts are all mentioned here. It is obligatory to have this in place.
