For certain forms, such as contracts or agreements, you may need to confirm whether a user agrees to your licensing conditions. This can be easily done by adding a License Agreement checkbox. In Jotform, the Terms & Conditions allows you to display your licensing terms and require users to acknowledge them before submitting the form.
Setting up the License Agreement Widget
To add the License Agreement widget to your form
- In Form Builder, click on Add Element on the left side of the screen.
- Under the Widget tab, search for Terms and Conditions widget.
- Click or drag and drop the widget to add it to your form.
- Now, click on Wand Icon, to open the Widget Settings.
- In the Widget Settings, you can set up the following:
- Label Text — The text that is displayed next to the checkbox.
- Terms Link — The full link of your terms or license agreement.
- Theme — Select the default for white backgrounds and light for dark backgrounds.
- Accepted Text — The text that is displayed in the notification email, autoresponder email, and PDF document.
If you want to customize the design of your widget, click on the Custom CSS Tab. See How to Inject CSS Codes to Widgets for more information.
That’s it! Once done, click the Update Widget button at the bottom to save the changes.
Pro Tip
If you wish to display the full text of the license agreement in the form, you have to do it with the Short Scrollable Terms widget or the Paragraph element. We’ve outlined both methods from the following user guide, Creating a Scrollable Terms and Conditions.

Hi! I need to collect an ID and Password on my form but, I want to make sure that I am in compliance. I just reviewed the above information on how to add a terms and conditions checkbox to the form - but, I am confused on how to add the link.
Can you please assist me? Is this the only way I can collect a login on my form?

In the payment section on a form, when you have multiple products under a category how can you default for the categories to be collapsed when the form is open, it seems to default to the categories open and uncollapsed making that section longer.

Hello, the OPTIONS field does not accept the hyperlink.
I tried to copy& paste
"I have read and agree to the Terms and Conditions"
and after pasting in the OPTIONS field appears only
"I have read and agree to the Terms and Conditions". HTML code was not pasted in, automatically.

**** THIS IS ENTIRELY USELESS IF YOU WANT TO EMBED YOUR FORM ON YOUR WEBSITE ****
So many ridiculous restrictions. Follow the instructions to the T, and there's always something outdated, that no longer works. I cannot insert any code such as TEXT HERE
As soon as I use HTML tags, they get automatically erased while I type. The widget doesn't work when I embed my form. Ready to move on from this terribly restricted service. Why do I HAVE to use an iframe for my form's widgets to work correctly? Restrictions....

I keep trying to add this to a form but it deletes the url link. I don't have a checkbox option so I used a multiple choice but with only one answer. If I put the link in the answer and have no question then the asterisk is above rather than alongside but either way it won't keep the url link in the text. My form is here

The "required" star for my label is the line above my option. How do I fix this?

My form is sent to me and also a copy to the submitter. I want them to get a copy of the agreement when the form is sent... Right now, all I get is the acknowledgement that they agree to it and have read it. How do I send a copy of those terms (they are in html format) with the form when it is submitted.?
Thanks

I don't know anything about this stuff, all I want is the terms and conditions to show up when I print the PDF of their submission. How do I do that?

Hi guys, the code provided above doesn't allow for the terms and conditions to open in a new window. Instead it redirects the viewer away from the form. Please help me with this asap!

Hi,
I'd like to get a 'hard copy' SAVE of the total agreement with name and toggled T&C box on 1 pdf.
Now when my T&C form is submitted I only receive the name in my Jotform inbox.
Thanks

Hi..Where can I find the option "enter the text as shown"..as u hv in ur example?

Nevermind the coding did not come up. You can just Google "what is the code to have a link open in a new window?" and you should be able to find it.

Can I link from one jotform page to another jotform page?
I put in the html on one form
but it does not work - any ideas?
More than a year ago
What I have done in the past is to create my YES and NO check boxes. Then, I go to the "conditions" tab. In this instance, a Thank You page was not needed, so I reset the custom URL thank you link to match the YES or NO checkbox. I don't know it you can sub a URL for a conditional email setting or not. If so, that would accomplish the same thing. May be the "low-tech" way to do it, but it worked fine.
