Asking members to accept
Switch on Require acceptance if members must actively agree. Then choose when, under Require acceptance at: Registration, Next login, First use or No prompt.
Where members read them
Members find your terms at Terms, your privacy policy at Privacy and your cookie policy at Cookies.
Take advice on the wording of legal documents. The platform shows your text but does not check it.
This is done on the main website. The accessible site does not have this page.
