 * You can add this recipe to your site by creating a custom plugin

This recipe is included in the blog post on "How to Add a Required Checkbox for Service Agreement or Terms of Service" at Paid Memberships Pro here: https://www.paidmembershipspro.com/show-link-terms-of-service-membership-checkout/

It is possible to set a custom error message when the checkbox was not checked by hooking into pmpro_registration_checks.
