Contractual consent managementTerms – a consent widget for your T&Cs, Terms of Service, Privacy Policy and DPA
Every commercial relationship is based on the acceptance of a contract: Terms & Conditions, Terms of Service, Privacy Policy, Data Processing Agreement, legal policies, and more. Terms by Axeptio turns that key step into a transparent, reassuring experience that also reinforces your brand.
Explain, contextualize, and capture contractual consent with a dedicated widget designed for clarity, transparency, and proof of acceptance.
Version control that stays transparent, under control and legally traceable
Terms introduces structured version control for your online terms and policies. It stays readable for end users and intuitive for your legal team.
Whether you change a single sentence or update an entire section, the banner helps customers see what has changed and only asks for renewed consent when it is legally required.
For end users:
inform without overloading
Changes to your terms can be categorised (cosmetic, minor, major) so you only request new consent when there is an important change.
Users can immediately see what has changed and why, without having to reread the whole document from scratch.
For legal teams:
full control without IT
Legal teams can create, update and publish contractual documents on their own.
Templates, online editing and import/export features are all there to make ongoing legal maintenance smoother over time.
For the business:
traceable consent record
Every modification and every acceptance is stored in a timestamped, versioned log. This gives you a legally traceable audit trail that you can rely on in case of a dispute, an audit or a regulator request.
Turn mandatory legal documents into a trust signal
For years, legal content has been treated as a sensitive step in the customer journey. With Terms, it can become a lever for trust.
By making your terms more visible, better structured and easier to browse, you help users understand what they are agreeing to, reduce areas of ambiguity or friction, and build a calmer, more transparent customer relationship.
An educational approach that lowers legal and customer risk
Terms makes your contractual documents more accessible, more understandable and easier to maintain over time.
By clarifying information, highlighting key sections and explaining updates, the widget reduces grey areas and misunderstandings – often the starting point for disputes, complaints and unnecessary contacts to your support team.
By making it easier to read your T&Cs, Terms of Service and other legal notices, Terms helps reduce challenges based on “I didn’t understand what I agreed to” or misinterpretation of your documents.

Import/export to simplify document management
Advanced import/export features make it easier to manage different versions and updates of your legal documents.
To speed up the creation of a new widget, you can import a complete document, including images, and automatically generate the structure of the screens.
A reliable API that is easy to integrate
and built for modern use cases
Integrating Terms is straightforward. A few lines of code are enough to display the widget on your pages and check the consent status of a user.
The JavaScript API handles the interaction with the widget: when it should appear, which version should be displayed, whether consent is up to date, and when to ask for revalidation.
Server-to-server endpoints let you query your consent register in real time and retrieve the proofs linked to a given user.
The architecture is designed to be reliable, transparent and aligned with modern web and e-commerce environments.
A contractual consent widget that adapts to your brand
Terms follows Axeptio’s philosophy: consent experiences should be both compliant and aligned with your brand identity.
Colours, images, illustrations and layout can be tailored so that your contractual documents live in an environment that feels familiar to your users, while remaining clear and easy to read.
Validate several contracts in a single user view
If your users need to accept several contractual documents (for example, separate terms for different services), Terms provides a centralised view where all required contracts can be reviewed and accepted together.
Make PDF download mandatory when your process requires it
If your legal processes require it, you can make PDF download a mandatory step before acceptance.
Users leave with a durable copy of the contract, and you strengthen your evidence of prior information in case of an audit or dispute.

Frequently Asked Questions
What types of contractual documents can I manage with Terms?
Terms isn’t limited to your Terms & Conditions or Terms of Service. You can manage your entire set of contractual documents: Privacy Policy, Data Processing Agreement, product-specific conditions, legal notices and any documentation that requires clear information and explicit consent.
If a document needs to be presented, explained and accepted, it can be handled in Terms.
Does any update to my legal terms automatically trigger a new request for consent?
No. Each update is categorised as cosmetic, minor or major. Only major changes prompt a new request for consent. All information related to the acceptance (version number, acceptance date, user identity) is stored in a timestamped, versioned log that provides evidence you can rely on in case of a dispute or an audit.
Can legal teams manage Terms on their own without involving developers?
Yes. Terms was designed so legal and compliance teams can work independently.
They can edit content online, use templates, import documents, manage versions and publish updates without having to open an IT ticket or run a technical deployment.
Can the appearance of the widget be customised?
Yes. You can personalise the main colour, add an image or apply your visual identity so the widget blends naturally into your brand experience, while maintaining clarity, readability and a high level of compliance.
