Ultimate Member Terms & Conditions Addon 2.1.4

The Ultimate Member Terms & Conditions Addon is a essential extension for the Ultimate Member (UM) plugin. It ensures your site remains legally compliant by requiring users to agree to your site’s rules or privacy policy before they can complete the registration process.

Unlike the template kits we discussed previously, this is a functional plugin extension that adds logic to your registration forms.

### Key Functionality

Checkbox Integration: Adds a mandatory "Terms and Conditions" checkbox to your registration forms.

Toggle/Link Options: You can choose to show the terms as a link to a separate page or display them in a toggle-down box directly on the form.

Mandatory Validation: Users cannot submit the registration form unless the box is checked, preventing unauthorized account creation.

Custom Labels: You can customize the text (e.g., "I agree to the [Privacy Policy] and [User Agreement]").

### How to Set It Up

Installation: Upload and activate the addon (it requires the core Ultimate Member plugin to be active).

Access Settings: Go to Ultimate Member > Settings > Extensions > Terms & Conditions.

Global Configuration: * Select the page that contains your Terms and Conditions.

Choose whether to show the terms in a toggle (pop-out) or via a link.

Add to Form: * Go to Ultimate Member > Forms.

Edit your Registration Form.

In the form builder, add the "Terms & Conditions" field (it will now appear as an available field type).

### Best Practices for Terms & Conditions

Specific Language: Clearly state your policy on data usage and community behavior, especially if you are using a community-heavy plugin like Ultimate Member.

GDPR Compliance: If you have users in the EU, ensure your checkbox is not pre-checked by default, as GDPR requires "affirmative action."

Version Control: If you update your terms significantly, it is good practice to notify your existing users via an email or a site-wide notice.

### Technical Note

If you are using one of the Elementor Template Kits we discussed (like Acadrova or Urban), this addon will work "behind the scenes." While the design of your registration page might be done in Elementor, the logic of the checkbox and the user validation is handled by this Ultimate Member addon.

Would you like me to help you draft a standard "Terms of Service" template for your community site, or do you need help styling the UM registration form to match your Elementor kit?
