Is this a duplicate of http://drupal.org/project/uc_termsofservice ? If not, it would be helpful to highlight the differences on the project page so people can make an informed choice between them.

I'd like to know the difference between them as well

Quoting the same answer I gave on ubercart.org:

@pcambra:

To be honest with you, I did a search, even a few other people searched for an alike module and I looked at only two contriubtions here. I was pointed to your module a day after contributing mine and questioned about the differences, which, apparently, there aren't much, even more yours seems with more feature. The only thing I can say about a difference, which is just tiny is the use of lightbox2 module.

I am really sorry I haven't found your module before, not only I would have not contributed anything but I might have not spent the time I spent on it. Although I always tried to use what's there, on this one, and not on purpose, I missed it.

I am not sure what is the prober thing to do now. I haven't ever requested to delete a project from drupal.org, and I think I have to request it on the web maintainers issue, I wonder if I should do that?

I guess having the two modules there won't harm at all, I am planning on entering a mention of your module and explaining what I explained here. Then, when I have some time, I will review your module and see if it suits my needs 100%, if it does, then I might go along and try to remove that project from drupal.org, but again, not sure if it's worth it. Appreciate your opinion though.

On another front, I admit my fault in searching for that module, but it seems that "Terms and conditions" is a widely use term for "Terms of service" as well. All of my client's sites uses "Terms and conditions".

A search in google for "drupal terms and conditions" does not come close to your module, which eventually, is a pitty, and it was part of the main reason I (and some co-workers) failed to find your module on the first place. Maybe changing the title or including the "Terms and conditions" phrase on your module it may help others finding it?

Eventually, a mention of my drupal project to yours will help fill in the gap between the two terms.

So as I said, I will try to review your module very soon, and if can switch completely to it, I will try to do it and deprecated my recently uploaded module in favor of yours.

It wasn't my intention to duplicate a module on purpose on d.o.

Any news on this?
I think that we make an effort in merging uc_tc & uc_termsofservice

Sorry for having that much of lag on this. I have been quite busy.

I think I will rework this module to use http://drupal.org/project/terms_of_use, it makes more sense to have a site wide term and conditions module (independent from ubercart) and just have one module integrating the two of them.

Thoughts? Maybe not a huge improvement but makes sense, after all, this simple thing seems to be quite scattered.

There's also http://drupal.org/project/legal, but I liked more terms_of_use.

About merging the two of them, I am OK to that, not sure what would be the suggested approach. Do you want to join forces and co-maintain this one with me? Or did you have something else in mind?

any update on this? should I go ahead and keep using this module? what is the recommended strategy?

thx :)

changing "terms of service"/disclaimer per product will be really useful.
