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.
