The shorter one-sheet (one page) is meant to be included as a product photo with your product and/or pasted into your product description and included in your download file for your customers. To be enforceable, a customer needs to see and “agree” to them BEFORE purchasing on Etsy, TPT, or another seller marketplace. If you can’t have a customer “check the box” to your own terms, this is the best protection you can get under the circumstances.
Don’t let fear, overwhelm or worry that the "contract" or terms you got from a free generator, course, mastermind, coach or somewhere random on the internet really protects you. Remember you get what you pay for (and that google law school ISN'T a thing...) Snag professionally-drafted digital product terms that hundreds of other entrepreneurs have successfully used to protect their digital goods today!
