Creating an Agreement

Write an agreement your clients accept, decide where they have to accept it, and publish it in every language you serve.

Reaching the Screen

Panel menu: Site Management, then Agreements. Above the list, click Create Contract.

{admin}/manage-website/contracts/add

The Agreements button on the page list leads to the same place.

What Is on the Screen

The page form, plus two acceptance blocks that only agreements carry.

The language tabs

The tabs choose which language you are writing. Title, Link Structure, Content and the SEO boxes hold one value per language.

Hide Sidebar and Background Image are shared by every language, so they appear on the default language tab only. The acceptance boxes are shared as well, but they stay on screen whichever tab you are on.

Where clients accept it

During Account Registration puts the agreement on the account creation form. During Purchase puts it on the checkout step.

Leave both off for text that only sits on the site, such as an agreement you link from the footer.

Inside the client area

The two boxes under Account Preferences are stored with the agreement, but nothing in the client area reads them today: turning them on adds no entry to account preferences and asks the client for no acceptance. Use the purchase and registration switches above for agreements you need accepted.

The web address

Link Structure shows the address the agreement will get, and follows the title as you type. The pencil button lets you rewrite the bold part.

The panel checks the address and warns you when another page already holds it.

Fields

Tasks

Write the agreement

1. Fill in Title and Content on the first language tab.
2. Open each remaining tab and write the same agreement there.
3. Click Create. The agreement is saved as active and the agreement list opens.

Let AI write the first draft

1. Fill in Title on the language tab you want. The title decides which document is written: "Terms of Service" and "Privacy Policy" give different texts.
2. Click Draft with AI in the strip above the form.
3. Check The Provider, as the Agreement Names It, read from Settings, General for that language. Add anything else in Extra Instructions.
4. Click Write the Draft. The section list appears first, then the sections fill in. When it finishes, click Place in the Editor: the text lands in Content.

Ask for it at checkout

1. Tick During Purchase under Required. The box sits on every language tab, so any tab will do.
2. Save. From now on the checkout step shows the agreement and asks the client to accept it.

Things to Watch

Required Privileges

The screen and its save need MANAGE_WEBSITE_OPERATION. Without it the agreement list itself does not open and answers Access Denied, even though Agreements stays in the menu.
