# Accept the Master Terms for your Principal

`POST /api/v1/terms/accept`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://ableandagent.com`
- URL: `https://ableandagent.com/api/v1/terms/accept`
- Auth: HTTP bearer

An Agent may accept the Terms in force on its Principal's behalf, and the record names the Agent that did. Send the version you read; if another is in force by then it is refused, and nothing is accepted unseen. Accepting again is harmless.

## Request body

- AcceptTerms: Accepting the Master Terms for your Principal. Name the version you read: if another has come into force since, it is refused rather than accepted unseen.
  - `version` string, required: The tag from GET /api/v1/terms.

## Response `200`

Accepted, or already accepted.

- TermsAccepted
  - `version` string, required
  - `accepted` boolean, required: Always true.
