Terms of Use
EthosCE provides a feature to require users to opt-in to your terms of use. When a terms of use statement is present, learners will be prevented from logging in or creating an account until it is accepted.
Users will not be able to opt-out on the user profile, so it is each customer's responsibility to provide an opt-out form for users.
You many find a sample terms of use statement in our user guide.
Important
The terms of use module will become active as soon as the Terms and Conditions of Use text is entered and saved. Do not save this text until ready to activate the feature! For compliance reasons, once enabled, this form cannot be disabled without a support ticket.
To enable the Terms and Conditions of Use feature:
Click the wrench to open the admin menu.
Click Configuration > People > Legal.
Enter the terms and conditions of use text in the "Create New Version / Translation" field.
Click "Display settings" and select the display style. We recommend HTML text.
Click "Save." A preview of the text will appear at the top of the page.
Suggestions
You may want to change the labels used for terms of use forms. Here are sample string overrides:
Original | Replacement |
|---|---|
<strong>Accept</strong> Terms & Conditions of Use | <strong>Accept</strong> Information Use Policy |

Masquerade
Do not accept the terms of use for another user's account.
Masquerade will not work if a user has not accepted the terms of use statement.
