(website visitor agreement management service, 3rd party)
I give away this idea. Someone should invent a service that supports Terms & Conditions, which are present on virtually every major website and for which there likely are neither proper tools nor people for support.
The service should be able to:
1. Display the document text in a format that is both convenient and easy to read, with navigation.
2. Track changes in the text and display them separately, in a convenient and readable format, with a version for printing, highlighting important sections (if the client deems it necessary) while also allowing access to older versions of the document.
3. Obtain and store user consent.
4. Not ask the user again if they have already consented.
5. Ask again if there are changes, store this status, and not ask again.
6. Notify by email when the rules change. Do not allow access to the service until the user accepts the changes.
7. Deliver the rules by mail, if the client thinks it’s necessary.
8. Support different terms&conditions on the same site. For different categories of users, for different services, for different languages, etc. Ideally – using common fragments to ease administration.
9. In the future, it is not out of the question that services will offer multiple agreements depending on how the user agrees to use the service. With new regulations in the EU, this is very realistic. Then, managing these agreements will be a real headache.
