+# Enforce accepting Terms of Service
+
+> [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/merge_requests/18570)
+> in [GitLab Core](https://about.gitlab.com/pricing/) 10.8
+
+## Configuration
+
+When it is required for all users of the GitLab instance to accept the
+Terms of Service, this can be configured by an admin on the settings
+page:
+
+![Enable enforcing Terms of Service](img/enforce_terms.png).
+
+The terms itself can be entered using Markdown. For each update to the
+terms, a new version is stored. When a user accepts or declines the
+terms, GitLab will keep track of which version they accepted or
+declined.
+
+When an admin enables this feature, they will automattically be
+directed to the page to accept the terms themselves. After they
+accept, they will be directed back to the settings page.
+
+## Accepting terms
+
+When this feature was enabled, the users that have not accepted the
+terms of service will be presented with a screen where they can either
+accept or decline the terms.
+
+![Respond to terms](img/respond_to_terms.png)
+
+When the user accepts the terms, they will be directed to where they
+were going. After a sign-in or sign-up this will most likely be the
+dashboard.
+
+When the user was already logged in when the feature was turned on,
+they will be asked to accept the terms on their next interaction.
+
+When a user declines the terms, they will be signed out.
