## Description

The WordPress Terms of Use plugin, yes I know there are many other options out there
to do this however this plugin takes a slightly different approach. Instead of making
the user agree to the Terms of Use when they join the site this plugin makes them
agree to the terms and conditions the first time they login. The reason for doing
this is that you can be installed WordPress Terms of Use plugin on a mature blog
and existing members will be able to agree to the Terms of Use the next time they
log in. In addition the new users are presented with a nice fully customisable welcome
message after they agree to your Terms to help them get started using WordPress.

Features:

1) Customizable Open Source Terms of Use agreement.
 2) Customizable Open Source
Privacy Policy. 3) Customizable welcome message. 4) Can be integrated into a mature
blog. 5) Support for both WordPress and WordPress MU. 6) No changes need to be made
to the Sign up process.

## Installation

WordPress MU

 1. Download the terms-of-use.zip
 2. Extract the files.
 3. If you want to use WordPress to edit your terms of use, privacy policy and welcome
    message, chmod terms-of-use.txt to 0664 (make them writable)..
     NOTE: for additional
    security there is an .htaccess file included in the terms-of-use directory that
    douse not allow scripts to be executed from these files. This protects against 
    code insertion.
 4. You can now login and edit your terms of use, privacy policy and welcome message
    via Site Admin > Terms of Use.
