Note: When enabled, Channel Custom terms and conditions will display for Channel Link, Custom Live Support forms, and Custom Live Support form with self-hosted Instant Chat sessions, however, they will not display during Calling Card Channel sessions.
How does it work? A session remains in Connecting status while the customer is reading the Terms and Conditions. Once the customer accepts the Terms and Conditions, the Applet chat window will appear and the connection to the technician will be made. The session appears as Waiting in the technician's queue. If the customer declines the Terms and Conditions, the Applet closes and is deleted immediately.
