Some network operators may want to force users to agree to a terms and conditions statement prior to allowing them on the network. This article outlines two possible solutions for T&C implementation on a Splash Page.

Note: These options cannot be implemented for splash pages in networks with a billing plan.

Option #1: Add a scrolling text area for the terms and conditions wording.

Wrap the T & C wording in an HTML scroll box. Be mindful of users on small screens. There are many ways to do scroll boxes, here is a simple way:
```
<div style="height:120px;width:450px;overflow:auto;">Add your T&C code here</div>
```

Add Meraki magic strings to the code for any continue links:

<p><a href="$MERAKI:AUTH_AND_CONTINUE_URL$" title="I Agree to Terms" id="continue_link">I agree</a>

[Optional] Keep users on the continue page if they do not agree
```
<a href="continue.html">I do not agree</a></p>
```

Remove the magic string that automates authorization, delete it from the bottom of the continue page:
```
$MERAKI:AUTH_ON_PAGE_LOAD$  
```

Option #2: Create a second page with the T&C.

After creating a custom theme, upload a page for the T & C's on the splash page of the Dashboard. For example "T_and_C.html".

Create a link on the continue page for users that want to read the T & C:

By clicking continue I agree to <a href="T_AND_C.html"> the terms and conditions.</a></p>

Ensure the proper Meraki magic strings are associated with any continue links on either page:
```
<p><a href="$MERAKI:AUTH_AND_CONTINUE_URL$" title="I Agree to Terms" id="continue_link">I agree</a>
```
1. [Optional] Keep users on the continue page if they do not agree:
```
<a href="continue.html">I do not agree</a></p>
```
Remove the magic string that automates authorization, delete it from the bottom of the continue page:
```
$MERAKI:AUTH_ON_PAGE_LOAD$
```
