Legal Agreements

Overview

Checkout supports presenting legal agreements to customers during the purchase process.

You can add and manage multiple agreements, such as a terms of service, a privacy policy, or a refund policy, to meet various regulatory requirements. This helps you comply with legal standards around the world, such as those outlined by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), which require businesses to provide clear, truthful, and accessible information about agreements and offer cancellation methods that are as easy as the sign-up process.

Agreements support rich text formatting, including hyperlinks to additional resources or policies, as needed. Support for multiple languages based on the customer's locale is also included.

Chargebee logs timestamped data of customer agreement during checkout, which serves as proof in cases of disputes or chargebacks. An audit log of changes made to the legal agreements is also available to help improve transparency and compliance.
