+As of April 2018, BOINC already contains a [wiki:TermsOfUse 'terms of use' mechanism] for the BOINC client when creating a new account. If the file 'terms_of_use.txt' (filename is hardcoded) is in the root of the project directory, the contents of the file will be presented to the user when s/he creates an account. However, there is no persistent 'storing' of the datetime the user consented to the terms of use.
+
+The BOINC Web code does not have the ability to sign up directly (this statement has not yet been confirmed). If not, it would have to also use this terms-of-use mechanism.
+
+Additionally, it is not known whether account managers, such as BAM!, use this terms-of-use mechanism.
