# Terms of service (TOS)

The TOS button on your catalog: embed text or a link, shown before checkout.

## Setting it up

The TOS button lives on the posted catalog message, so buyers see it before they check out rather than only in a rules channel. It has two display modes.

- **/catalog tos**: Set the mode, text or URL, title, embed color, footer and button label.
- **Embed text mode**: Paste your terms directly, up to 3,500 characters. Opens as an embed when pressed.
- **Link button mode**: Point the button at a URL instead, for longer terms managed outside Discord.

## What belongs in it

A short policy on refunds, delivery time and what counts as proof of payment stops most disputes before they start. This is a starting point to write your own policy from, not legal advice - have it checked against rules that apply to you and your buyers.

> Note: Link mode needs a URL set before it can be turned on; the catalog button cannot be built without one.

## Keeping it current

The catalog message refreshes itself whenever the TOS settings change, so the button never points at outdated terms. There is no version history built in - if you need buyers to have agreed to a specific wording, note the date in the text itself.
