Does anyone know if it is possible to require an existing user to accept the user agreement when they renew a subscription/purchase an additional subscription? Currently I have an agreement set up, but only new signups are shown it and required to accept it. For various reasons I would like returning members to see it again and have to accept it again. So, anyone know a way to do this? I have searched for ideas to no avail. Thanks in advance!
You could probably add a field in amember, then have the members page or other page check to see the value of the field- eg if 1 then they have read and accepted- if 0, then not read and displayed. (custom coding needed) David
I have 1 REAL product but 3 aMember products. Product 1 Join + year 1 - visible to sign ups only Product 2 Renew for 1 year - visible to members only Product 3 Renew for 3 years - visible to members only Each product requires agreement. The signup page and renewal pages have been customised. The Manuals Library
Thanks for the replies. Perhaps I could add it in with custom coding, but I was wondering if there was an easy way to do this. I've thought of just adding a checkbox "I've read the terms" to the renew form, and requiring it with JavaScript, but it would be nice to have a database record of the acceptance. thehpmc, thanks for the link. Your signup page looks really great, great job customizing it! But I don't know if that would meet my needs. We have a monthly subscription and our customers may renew the same product every month, and if they do, I'd like them to have to click "I accept" each time.
Well, that's left up to you and your terms of agreement... if you make them state clearly that any further/future purchases on the site automatically assume the acceptance of the given agreement, I'm sure your point would be valid. not sure how it all plays from a legal point though, or personal preference.
Yeah, I'm not an expert on the legal side of things. Our lawyer is saying it would be ideal if the customer must re-agree to the terms, for each subscription period. What I've done is, on the renew form, add a link to the TOS along with a checkbox like "I agree to the terms." Then I require the checkbox with JavaScript. It works, but it's not as robust as I might like.
