# Agreements

https://docs.wisecp.com/de/agreements

Keep your legal texts in one list and tell the site which page stands for privacy, terms of service and cookies.

## Opening the Screen

Go to **Site Management › Agreements**: `{admin}/manage-website/contracts`. The **Agreements** button on the page list leads here as well.

Unlike the other content lists, this screen opens only for staff with the site management edit permission.

## What Is on the Screen

Three parts: the action bar, the table of agreement pages, and a settings window behind the **Settings** button.

### The Action Bar

On a narrow screen the bar is folded away; open it with **Show Options** under the page title.

**Apply to Selected** acts on the rows you tick and offers one action, **Delete**. **Create Contract** opens the empty agreement form. **Settings** opens the window described below.

### The Table Columns

The newest agreement comes first and that order stays; no column header sorts the list.

| Column | What it shows |
| --- | --- |
| Selection box | Ticks the row for the bulk action. Needs the delete permission. |
| Title | The title in the panel language, cut to fifty characters. Hover for the whole title. |
| URL | The public address of the agreement. Opens the live page in a new tab. |
| Created | When the agreement was added, as elapsed time. Hover for the exact moment. |
| Row menu | Three-dot button: **Edit** opens the agreement, **Delete** needs the delete permission. |

The strip above the table carries the rest. **Show Records** sets the page size, and the search box narrows the list by what you type, matching anywhere in the row.

### The Settings Window

This window matches each legal type to one of the pages in the list.

Each list offers the agreements you have written, plus a **Not Selected** entry that leaves the type unassigned. Where the chosen page then shows up depends on the theme: in the themes shipped with the product the privacy page is linked from the newsletter and blog subscription consent lines and from the personal-data consent in the customer account, and the cookie page is linked from the cookie notice bar. Click **Save** at the bottom of the window to apply your choice.

### Downloading the List

The download arrow sits at the right end of the table strip and appears for staff holding the table export permission. It offers **CSV**, **JSON** and **XML**.

## Controls

- **Apply to Selected**: Runs **Delete** on the ticked rows, then empties itself. With no row ticked it does nothing.
- **Create Contract**: Opens the empty agreement form.
- **Settings**: Opens the **Contract Settings** window with the three lists below.
- **Privacy Policy**: The privacy agreement. The same page is linked from the personal-data consent in the customer account and from the newsletter and blog subscription consent lines. Optional; **Not Selected** leaves those lines without a link.
- **Terms of Service**: The service agreement your customers accept. The themes shipped with the product do not print this link anywhere on their own; the acceptance line on the sign-up form comes from the agreement's own page form instead. Optional.
- **Cookie Policy**: The cookie agreement. The cookie notice bar links to this page. Optional; **Not Selected** leaves the bar without a link.
- **Search box**: Narrows the list as you type. It matches anywhere in the row, so the URL address counts as well as the title.
- **Show Records**: How many rows one page of the table holds.

## Tasks

### Choosing the page for a legal type

1. Write the agreement first with **Create Contract**, or find it in the list.
2. Click **Settings** in the action bar. The **Contract Settings** window opens.
3. Pick your page in **Privacy Policy**, **Terms of Service** or **Cookie Policy**.
4. Click the **Save** button at the bottom of the window. Every consent line and notice bar that uses that legal type now points at your page.

### Changing an agreement

1. Find the agreement with the search box above the table.
2. Open the three-dot menu at the end of its row and choose **Edit**.
3. The form opens with the current text. Saving replaces what visitors read from that moment on.

### Deleting agreements

1. For one agreement, open the three-dot menu at the end of its row and choose **Delete**.
2. For several, tick them in the first column, then choose **Delete** from **Apply to Selected**.
3. With more than one selected the window asks for your own admin password. Type it, then click the **Delete** button in the window footer.
4. The rows leave the list, together with their translations and uploaded images.

## Things to Watch

> **Deleting an agreement cannot be undone**
> 
> Delete removes the agreement and all its translations. Legal texts your customers have already accepted are worth keeping, so edit them rather than replacing the record.

> **Deleting does not clear the settings**
> 
> The three lists keep pointing at the page you picked. After deleting an assigned agreement, open **Settings** and choose another page.

> **Cookie Policy is shared with the cookie bar**
> 
> The page you pick here is the one the cookie notice links to. Changing it moves that link too.

## Required Privileges

The whole screen needs `MANAGE_WEBSITE_OPERATION`, which also covers creating agreements and saving the settings window. Ticking rows and deleting need `MANAGE_WEBSITE_DELETE`: without it the selection column and the **Delete** entry never appear, though the **Apply to Selected** list stays on the bar with no row left to tick.
