Legal

Displays your Terms & Conditions to users who want to register, and requires that they accept the T&C before their registration is accepted.

If T&Cs are changed users with an existing account will be asked to accept the new version, and will not be able to log in until they have.

Terms & Conditions can be displayed as styled text, or in a scroll box.

Features

Account Integration

T&Cs are included on user account edit forms.

T&Cs Page

Automatically creates a T&Cs page at /legal.

Auditing

Each acceptance of the T&Cs is recorded. The information is displayed on the Legal administration pages (requires Views module).

Additional Checkboxes

Additional checkboxes can be added which must be accepted, e.g. [X ] I am over 18

Explanation Notes

Notes can be added to each version of the T&Cs explaining the changes that have been made, these are displayed to users who are asked to accept new versions of the T&Cs (if they accepted a previous version).

Internationalisation

Each version of the T&Cs can now be translated into whatever languages the site is set up for.

Versions & Revisions

Versions

Creating a new version will ask all users to accept the new T&Cs, and keep a record of which version/language/revision was accepted and when it was accepted.

Revisions

Every translation can have as many revisions as necessary, with each version + language having it's own revision audit.

When a revision is made only users that have previously accepted the T&Cs in that language, and new users, are asked to accept the new T&Cs. This is intended for improvements to the translation rather than changes to the actual terms and conditions being offered.

Views

Integrates with Views, and ships with default Views for T&Cs history, and Users that have accepted - as they're Views you can customise to your requirements.

Tokens

Tokens can be used in T&C text.

Legal token [legal:tc] can be used to display current T&C text.

Rules

Integration with Rules.

Add On Modules

• Integration with Ubercart via the Ubercart Legal Integration module
• Integration with Services via the Services Legal module.

Masquerade

Integration with Masquerade module so you can masquerade as a user without having to accept T&Cs.

Please Note

T&C text should only be entered by administrators or other highly trusted users. filter_xss_admin() is used to filter content for display, this is a very permissive XSS/HTML filter intended for admin-only use.

Release 4.0.x

Provides improved compatibility with Single Sign On services and avoids the need to log the user out until they have accepted T&Cs. See detailed description for more information.

As 4.0.x is a major change to the behavior and architecture of the Legal module so it will go through a cautious release process over the next few months. If SSO is important to your project please test this release thoroughly and give feedback to speed up the process for a full release.
