As an administrator, you can define default text used by all websites to tell people where your Terms of Service (TOS) page is located or provide a link to the TOS page. You can also override your default text on a per-website basis.

Configuring the default TOS page
--------------------------------

To configure the default text for your websites’ Terms of Service:

1.  [Sign in](/site-factory/login) to Site Factory using an account with the [platform admin](/site-factory/manage/users/admin/platform-admin) role.
    
2.  In the admin menu, click **Preferences**.
    
3.  Click the **Terms of Service** link.
    
4.  Enter or edit the default Terms of Service text for your websites.
    
5.  Click **Save configuration**.
    

Configuring the per-site TOS
----------------------------

Site Factory provides an option on each website node to configure a custom TOS for the website.

1.  [Sign in](/site-factory/login) to Site Factory, find the website for which you want to create a custom TOS, and then open its actions menu.
