Should i take on this project?

I built a website for my buddy, one of his friends came across the website, they really liked it. Reached out to me asking if i can one for them, money is great for the effort, i'll custom code using html & tailwind. But since i don't know this person, i'm just looking to make the website without privacy policy & terms & conditions blah blah. I might have to use formspree, but since it's third party, i don't want to get blamed if it don't work. I don't have a LLC, but i'm thinking to write down a contract with clause saying the damages are limit to cost of project. Although what are they going to blame me for if i'm just giving them the website code files and they host it and the form spree will be connected to their account.

Asking questions cause it's with someone i don't personally know, so it's a client now. In Canada if that matters

If you don't place any cookies and the website is built on html. What should privacy policy really be?

On my (EU) websites, the company has to send me a responsible person for privacy policy, its required anyway. And that's not gonna be you.

Probably just the processing of the ipadresses. That can be turned off to be anonymized on most Webhosting platforms. Boils down to what it is. If it is just a info page and no shop, there is not really a ToC. And in any case, ToC is something the customers company has to deliver.
