Hi all,
We are happy to announce that you can now add Terms of Use and Privacy Policy to the sign-up process.

Here is how to use it:
Head to the editor
Create your Terms of Use & Privacy Policy pages
Go to your forum page and double click on the forum
Go to the settings tab and click on Member Signup Settings
Click on the Policies tab and add links to the Terms of Use & Privacy Policy pages
Tip: You can hide your policies pages from the site menu. Click here to learn how.
Tell us what do you think! :)
How do you accomplish Step 2?
Hi,
Yes, the line in yellow is the entire extent of what this new feature does.
We understand your concerns and I can tell you that we are planning to work on a new solution for the login & signup pages, which will allow more customization. Stay tuned :)
Hi Maya, thanks. Ok, I see what's going on now, and I understand how this feature is intended to work. A few problems/issues:
1) I did as you recommended and clicked on "don't have an account? Sign up". Doing that did show this:
I believe the line in yellow is the entire extent of what this new feature does. Is that correct?
If so, there's a significant problem here, because the way this has been implemented is not legally enforceable, and is the opposite of what most attorneys recommend doing. The problem with simply putting a link to the terms of use on the page, is that any user can legitimately claim that they never saw it. So no judge will enforce this. As implemented, this feature doesn't provide the site owner any real additional protection. (See "browse-wrap method" here: https://termsfeed.com/blog/add-i-agree-terms-checkbox/)
The proper way to do it, is to add a checkbox that says something like "I agree to the terms of use of this site", and require the user to click it to continue on. This is called the "click-wrap method" and ensures that the legal agreement is actually enforceable. If you take a look at some of the competing products, this is what they do.
2) It looks like I was not able to effectively communicate to you that the screenshots that I took for you did not involve an existing account. They were done with a brand-new Google account that had not yet signed up on the site.
Or to put it another way, if I am a brand-new user and come to that login screen, you guys are expecting everyone to click on the "don't have an account? Sign up" link at the bottom to create an account. However, there is a loophole. New users don't have to do that and can sign up by simply clicking on the "login with Google +" or "login with Facebook" buttons on the right to sign up/create an account. And if they do that, they never see the new terms of use notice.
Also, this isn't a totally crazy thing for users to do, because on most sites this is a legitimate way to quickly create a new account (and in fact it currently works on Wix sites as well...although perhaps not on purpose). To me, the easy way to close the loophole is to implement the terms of use on this login page as well.
Great, you guys are awesome!
Hi Ian,
What you showed me is the Login page. This screen is for existing users to login to the site. We show the terms of use only in the Signup page (because these terms should be approved only once, in the signup process).
In the image that you added, on the left side under the email and password fields, there is line says "Don't have an account? Signup". Please click on the "Signup" and you'll be taken to the Signup page.
If you are interested you can change the settings and make the signup page be shown first.
Maya, what I showed you is what is shown to it new user when they sign up. When a user who is new to the site, clicks on any membership protected page, wix does not allow them to actually see the page. Instead it throws up that login screen where they can choose to signup and create a new account. That is what I’m doing in the screenshots. I have never seen any other way to sign up.
Hi,
You attached the Login screen. I need to see the Signup screen.
Sure. Here you go. No TOS there either.
Click "google+"
see this. no TOS.
