“AGREE TO TERMS AND CONDITIONS” CHECKBOX EXAMPLES & HOW-TO-ADD GUIDE

by Christine Hennel

September 14, 2021

Generate Free Terms and Conditions


For you to legally enforce your website, application, or business’s rules of
use, users must first agree to your terms and conditions. Terms and conditions,
also known as terms of service or terms of use, are a legal agreement between
you and your users that outlines the rules of use for your website, app, or
business.

User agreement is vital to ensure terms and conditions are legally enforceable.
In the event of a legal disagreement, proof that a user agreed to terms and
conditions can be useful.

Use our free Terms and Conditions Generator to create a comprehensive ToC
agreement for your website or app.


WHAT IS AN “AGREE TO TERMS AND CONDITIONS” CHECKBOX?

An “agree to terms and conditions” checkbox is a method of protecting your
business by requiring that users acknowledge the rules they must abide by when
using your services. It is often presented as a pop-up when a user first enters
a website or begins using a service.

Examples of activities that may require such an agreement include:

 * Downloading applications
 * Installing software
 * Purchasing an airline ticket
 * Shopping online
 * Conducting financial transactions
 * Streaming music on a platform
 * Registering a social media account


EXAMPLES OF “AGREE TO TERMS AND CONDITIONS” CHECKBOXES

On a website, mobile application, or desktop application, an “agree to terms and
conditions” checkbox is simply an empty box that a user must tick in order to
acknowledge their consent and proceed with their use of the app or website. This
is known as a “clickwrap” agreement.

An alternative to a clickwrap agreement is a “browsewrap” agreement, which
assumes that if you browse through any area of a website, you’re tacitly
agreeing to the terms and conditions for use. Read on to view clickwrap and
browsewrap examples on websites, apps, and more.


CREATE YOUR TERMS AND CONDITIONS USING TERMLY

Here’s how you can use Termly’s generator to create comprehensive and customized
terms and conditions for your website or app.

Step 1: Go to Termly’s Terms and Conditions Generator.

Step 2: Answer a few simple prompts and questions, and go through all of the
steps until you reach “Final Details.”



Step 3: Once you’ve filled in everything and you are satisfied with the preview,
click “Publish.” You will then be prompted to create an account on Termly so you
can save and edit your terms and conditions further.

WEBSITE TERMS AND CONDITIONS

‌Terms and conditions are an important part of protecting a website. Different
websites may employ a variety of methods to capture user agreement to terms and
conditions.

For example, Microsoft lists its terms of use as a link on the last line of its
website footer. It’s assumed that a user has had a reasonable opportunity to
read the details of what they’re automatically consenting to.

Some companies, like Steam, use a checkbox on their sign-up page but don’t
require the checkbox for simply browsing their site.



Use Termly to generate a free terms and conditions agreement for your website.


APP TERMS AND CONDITIONS

Apps often use clickwrap agreements. They can display a checkbox where a user
must tick, check, or toggle a box in front of text that usually states:

“By checking this box, you are agreeing to our terms of service.”

Or:

“I agree to the terms and conditions as set out by the user agreement.”

Or:

“By clicking here, I state that I have read and understood the terms and
conditions.” 

Using a clickwrap method may better protect a business because a user must take
proactive measures to agree to terms and conditions.

Some apps, like DoorDash, choose to forgo a checkbox and instead state that
clicking a sign-up button constitutes agreement to terms and conditions.



With our free Terms and Conditions Generator, you can create a comprehensive ToC
for your app in a few minutes!


SAAS TERMS AND CONDITIONS

Enforceability of terms and conditions is especially crucial for software as a
service (SaaS) companies because they routinely collect detailed personal
information from users. A terms and conditions agreement must set out the rules
and regulations as to how a user can use the application without abusing it.

For SaaS companies, a second form of agreement to terms and conditions can be
beneficial. Using a double-step consent method, a user both ticks a checkbox and
clicks on an action button.

See the example from Dropbox, where users have to click to agree to terms and
conditions and then click the button to create an account:



This type of consent holds up favorably if legal disputes arise. It’s more
difficult for a user to suggest they were unaware of policies when two-step
consent is elicited.

In another highly enforceable method, the latest operating system from Apple not
only has a browsewrap agreement on the site, but it also requires the consent of
a user twice more — with a pop-up window and an action button. These steps are
bolstered by the opportunity to receive the terms and conditions by email.

Generate a free Terms and Conditions for your SaaS in minutes with our terms and
conditions generator.


HOW TO CREATE AN “AGREE TO TERMS AND CONDITIONS” CHECKBOX


LANGUAGE

Plain, clear, and direct language is preferred for a terms and conditions
checkbox. The language right after the checkbox can be limited, or it may
include not only user terms and conditions but also the terms of cookie usage or
legally mandated privacy policies.

If an action button is used, language should be specific, such as:

 * I Accept
 * Agree
 * Agree and Continue
 * Next
 * Sign Up
 * Create My Store Now
 * Become a Member
 * Register Now


LOCATION

The placement of the checkbox or action button can be a material factor in
proving a user knew that terms and conditions were being presented and that they
were consenting.

For example, before a user signs up for an account with Venmo, they must agree
to the user agreement and privacy policy. The statement with a checkbox is
placed directly above the sign-up button and states:

“I have read and agree to Venmo’s User Agreement and Privacy Policy.”




HOW TO ADD AN “AGREE TO TERMS AND CONDITIONS” CHECKBOX TO YOUR SITE

Adding an “agree to terms and conditions” checkbox will likely require some
coding on your website. You will also need to make sure you have accurate and
up-to-date information in your terms and conditions.

If you need assistance creating or updating your terms and conditions, Termly
has a free terms and conditions generator. It allows you to choose the
agreements for your business’s particular needs and decide exactly how you want
them displayed. You can also use a template or choose to write your own terms
and conditions.
