Customize Terms & Conditions

Customize agreements

When a contributor submits a rating or a question, they access your terms and conditions. You can customize the text of your terms and conditions, or you can link to a URL where you host your terms and conditions. You can also add any other terms that contributors must agree to before submission, such as a separate agreement checkbox for sweepstakes terms and conditions, newsletter sign-up, or privacy policy terms of use.

Note: Contributors must agree to your terms and conditions or any other terms you've configured before submitting content.

To customize your terms and conditions and agreements, access Display Options, and then complete these steps:

1. In the User Experience section, select Agreements. Use the Ratings & Reviews tab for your review submission form and the Questions & Answers tab for your question and answer submission forms.
2. Enter the label of the terms you want the contributor to agree to in the Agreement Acceptance Text field. For example, if you want the contributor to agree to your terms and conditions, your Agreement Acceptance Text should look like the following:

   I agree to the <a href="#" class="bv-text-link bv-focusable">terms and conditions</a>

   Replace the text within the <a> tag with your desired link text. You can fully customize the Agreement Acceptance Text. For example, if you want an additional checkbox to ask if contributors agree to your site's cookie policy, you could use the following:

   I consent to the <a href="#" class="bv-text-link bv-focusable">placement of cookies</a> on my browser by Endurance Cycles and their third-party service providers.

   In the example above, "placement of cookies" could link to your cookie policy.

   

   Caution: Do not change the a href="#" class="bv-text-link bv-focusable"> tag. Only change the text within and around the <a> tags.
3. Under Agreement Text Source, choose where you want to host the full text of the terms that the link in the Agreement Acceptance Text points to.
   • Select Hosted content and enter the full text of your terms to have Bazaarvoice host and display the full agreement text.
   • Select Remote URL to provide a remote URL to where your terms and conditions are hosted.
4. (Optional) To add another agreement, select Add New Agreement and follow the steps above to configure it.
5. (Optional) If you have multiple agreements, select Reorder to change the order in which they are displayed in the submission form. Drag and drop an agreement to reorder it.

You can separately enable or disable any agreement to display or hide it.
