Enforcing Terms of Use

As an admin, you can ask that your learners agree to "terms of use" (ToU) before interacting with the LemonadeLXP platform. These terms block most views on the learner side, until the learner agrees to them. Adherence is logged in the database (user, time, and date) as are revisions to the terms themselves.

We recommend you contact your own legal counsel for any terms you would want to draft.

To configure ToU, start by visiting the Settings > Config panel, and click the sixth tab on the right, Terms of Use.

LemonadeLXP does not provide default ToU text. These terms of use exist between your institution and its learners and are highly contextual; you must craft your legal text to leverage this system.

Global Settings

Setting

Description

Require Terms of Use Adherence From Learners

When the configuration is valid, this enables the terms of use system.

Period

How often do you want to collect confirmation/adherence from learners? If the terms are unchanged, they will require review at this cadence.

Legal Text, Per Language

Setting

Description

Terms

This is the body of terms that you present to your users. For security reasons, we do not support the injection of raw HTML. This panel does, however, support markdown syntax.

Agreement Button Label

This is the text that appears in the button that, by default, reads "I Agree."

Some Notes

  • If you enable the system but do not configure the legal text, the system will be silently disabled. Your terms are considered unviable in this situation, which disables the configuration.

  • Changing terms will require new consent from learners. Please be careful of the cadence at which you adjust terms.

  • The ability to export consent dates and times will be added in an upcoming reports area.

  • When a "check" occurs to verify that no new terms exist, two cookies are created that cache the verification for one day. If you are modifying your terms and need to see multiple revisions rapidly, you will have to actively delete 'tos_exempt' and 'tos_exempt_check' after each iteration.
