Becoming MyTerms enabled

MyTerms lets an individual propose the terms on which they enter a digital relationship. To take part, an organisation needs a small set of capabilities at its end — to receive, respond to, accept and record MyTerms agreements. None of this replaces your existing systems; it sits alongside them.

  • Display the MyTerms trust mark

    Show the trust mark on your site or app so people know you are willing and able to receive a MyTerms proposal. The mark links to the point where a proposal can begin.

  • Receive a proposal

    Expose an endpoint that accepts an individual's proposed MyTerms agreement. A proposal references a published, human-readable agreement and the standard terms it is built on.

  • Respond and iterate

    Be able to accept the proposed terms, or respond with a counter-proposal so the individual and your organisation can converge on terms you can both honour.

  • Accept and counter-sign

    When terms are agreed, counter-sign the agreement so both parties hold a matching, cryptographically signed record of what was settled.

  • Record the agreement

    Store the signed agreement and its audit trail so the relationship can be referenced, honoured, and demonstrated later by either party.

This page is a placeholder overview. Detailed technical guidance — endpoint specifications, message formats and reference implementations — can be added here as the standard matures.
