# Adding Terms & Conditions Field

Terms & Conditions fields are often used in Sign Up & Donation Forms. They commonly have two steps, where the user can read a short statement regarding T&C's with an option hyperlink out to another page/document, AND an opt-in checkbox stating they agree. Here is the simplest way to setup this these fields:

1: From the Organisation sidebar, select Settings > Custom Fields
2: Either select the Donation tab (to add T&C's for Donation Form) or Person tab (to add T&C's for Sign Up Form)
3: Scroll & select Add New
4: Enter Name (eg. Terms & Conditions) and select Checkbox for Type. Select Save.
5: Open up your relevant campaign, and from the sidebar select Settings > Donation Form OR Signup Form. Within the field settings, select Add New

🟡 Note - in Sign Up Form, Terms & Conditions is best placed in the Personal Information Fields
6: Search for the Terms & Conditions field you have created and select. Switch 'Required' On.
7: Within the 'Label' field, enter the question you want the donor or fundraiser to agree too. A common examples is:

By selecting you agree to the Terms & Conditions outlined in our policy documents.
8: Best practise is to add a hyperlink in the label that points to a webpage or PDF document. To do this, you will need to add a simple HTML snippet to the label. Here is an example:

By selecting you agree to the <a href="example.com/terms-conditions"> Terms & Conditions </a> outlined in our policy documents.

Do note, in the example above, place your URL/web address within the " ". This short snippet of HTML turns the text with in the <a> </a> to a hyperlink.
9: If you wish to add further text, you can use the Help Text field to add a further description. Note that the hyperlink function also works within the Help Text.
10: Select Save and your form will now contain the Terms & Conditions field.
