Got some questions about a critique I gave on this app last night about the EULA acceptance screen, so I figured I'd break this out. Do you have any opinions on these methods for mandatory legal agreements before using a product/service? I made a quick mockup representing their current design and the type of design I argued for.

Curious to hear from law people and non-law people about this.

A click wrap terms of service acceptance. You reach the terms of service screen, which is a long text block that scrolls. There is a single button at the bottom, “I Agree”. Tapping proceeds to the sign up form.
A browse wrap acceptance on the sign up form. Right above the “Continue” button, a notice reads “By continuing, you agree to our Terms of Service and Privacy Policy.” The notice passes contrast guidelines, it has reasonably large text, and the terms and privacy policy are hyperlinks.

Nobody asked for this, but I just signed up for insurance with State Farm and I already have some strong thoughts and feelings about their app design.

This is an impromptu design critique because I cannot turn this part of my brain off. This is a curse.

We had a "discussion" (spanning 2 months) with our legal team on such consideration, what happens is company relied a bit too much on lengthy Terms & Conditions to hide things, therefore rending the user consent useless. We had to push clear consent about data collected and usage upfront while keeping all the rest under links for Terms & Conditions, Privacy Policy.

@timroesner Most people won't read the terms at body size, either 🫣
