I have added the code (see below) for Terms and conditions, but it doesn’t give an error code when it isn’t selected.

In asset - Theme-editor.js

$(document).ready(function() {
$(‘body’).on(‘click’, ‘[name=“checkout”], [name=“goto_pp”], [name=“goto_gc”]’, function() {
if ($(‘#agree’).is(‘:checked’)) {
$(this).submit();
}
else {
alert(“You must agree with the terms and conditions of sales to check out.”);
return false;
}
});
});
