## Introduction

Would you like to enable a checkbox after reading a disclaimer or terms of service? Learn to harness the potential of the **Enable Disclaimer / Terms of Service Display** feature for **Checkbox** fields. This capability lets users express their agreement to your terms of service. Yet, if you’re keen on deactivating this field until users have scrolled through your disclaimer entirely, this tutorial is tailor-made for your needs!

## Creating the Form

Begin by creating your form and adding your fields. If you need any help in creating your form, [please review this useful guide](https://wpforms.com/docs/creating-first-form/ "Creating Your First Form").

Once you’ve added your other fields, add a **Checkbox** field and click the **Advanced** tab. On this tab, you’ll see an option to **Enable Disclaimer / Terms of Service Display**. Toggle this option on and add your text to the **Description** field.

The **Description** field will accept any basic HTML such as headings, p tags and links. We use h2 headings in our disclaimer to make each section clear.
