Sidekick: Add Terms and Conditions Checkbox

Help me add a terms and conditions checkbox to my Shopify checkout:

Store name: [YOUR STORE NAME]
Required policies: [TERMS OF SERVICE / RETURN POLICY / PRIVACY POLICY / SUBSCRIPTION TERMS]
Legal jurisdiction: [COUNTRY OR REGION]
Products requiring special terms: [AGE-RESTRICTED / SUBSCRIPTION / CUSTOM / NONE]

Set up the terms and conditions checkbox:


  
    Checkbox placement - Add a required checkbox just above the “Pay now” or “Complete order” button. The checkbox must not be pre-checked to comply with consumer protection laws in most jurisdictions.
  
  
    Label text - Use clear label text: “I agree to the [Terms of Service] and [Privacy Policy]” where the policy names are clickable links that open the full policy text in a new tab or a modal overlay. Do not use small or hard-to-read text.
  
  Policy pages - Ensure all linked policy pages exist and are up to date in my Shopify admin under Settings > Policies. Review and update:
    
      Terms of Service covering purchase terms, liability, and dispute resolution
      Privacy Policy covering data collection and usage (GDPR/CCPA compliant)
      Return and Refund Policy with clear timelines and conditions
      Shipping Policy with delivery estimates and responsibilities
    
  
  
    Validation - If the customer tries to complete the order without checking the box, display a clear error message: “Please agree to the terms and conditions to continue.” Highlight the checkbox area and scroll the page to make the error visible.
  
  
    Record keeping - Log the timestamp, IP address, and policy version the customer agreed to with each order. Store this data in the order metadata for legal reference.
  
  
    Subscription consent - If selling subscription products, add a separate checkbox: “I understand this is a recurring subscription and I will be charged [FREQUENCY AND AMOUNT] until I cancel.” This is required for subscription compliance.
  
  
    Age verification - If selling age-restricted products, add a checkbox: “I confirm I am [AGE] years or older.” Consider adding a date-of-birth field for stricter verification requirements.
  
  Multi-language - If your store serves multiple languages, ensure the checkbox label and policy pages are translated for each supported language.


Provide the Shopify settings and any checkout extensibility code needed for implementation.
