Resource: TermsOfService
The TermsOfService message represents a specific version of the terms of service that merchants must accept to access certain features or services. For more information, see Terms of Service.
This message is important for the onboarding process, ensuring that merchants agree to the necessary legal agreements for using the service. Merchants can retrieve the latest terms of service for a given kind and region through termsOfService.retrieveLatest, and accept them as required through termsOfService.accept.

} |
| Fields |
name |
string
Identifier. The resource name of the terms of service version. Format: termsOfService/{version}
|
regionCode |
string
Region code as defined by CLDR. This is either a country where the ToS applies specifically to that country or 001 when the same TermsOfService can be signed in any country. However note that when signing a ToS that applies globally we still expect that a specific country is provided (this should be merchant business country or program country of participation).
|
kind |
enum (TermsOfServiceKind)
The Kind this terms of service version applies to.
|
external |
boolean
Whether this terms of service version is external. External terms of service versions can only be agreed through external processes and not directly by the merchant through UI or API.

fileUri |
string
URI for terms of service file that needs to be displayed to signing users.
