Recommendations

  • 01
    Link to the terms that apply
    Use the document or section that governs this page. Avoid a generic legal index when a direct link exists.
  • 02
    Keep a visible terms link
    The head relation supplies metadata. Users still need a visible, accessible route to the terms before they agree to them.
  • 03
    Keep versions clear
    When terms change, identify the effective version and preserve older versions when users may need to review them.
