You may require users to agree to your terms of use before they can make use of the Activity Stream web part.

Note:

“terms of use” are sometimes alternately referred to as “terms and conditions”. You may use the expressions interchangeably, but here they are referred to as “terms of use”.

When terms of use are enabled and the user has not agreed to the most recent version in her language, the Activity Stream displays a message.
