You could try asking for a fixed price for the terms of service too. That sort of work is pretty easy for the lawyers to estimate so they might be willing to go flat rate.

Yeah, our bill without the terms was just about $1500. The terms, privacy, and eula killed us.

I just wrote the TOS myself and run my site as a sole proprietor. $0 in legal bills.

On top of that, there's lots of free templates and even real TOS's that can pretty much be copied verbatim. Will possibly have been made by better lawyers, too, if it's a big company TOS.

I really recommend http://snapterms.com/

I have never used it, but many friends have, and the owner is my buddy Aaron, who is an all-around great guy.
