<section1 topic='Requirements' anchor='reqs'>
|
|
<p>The specification shall allow to satisfy the following requirements:</p>
|
|
<ol>
|
|
<li>Provide a way to query a URL to a text version of the &tos; and &pp; of a service.</li>
|
|
<li>Provide an extensible way to convey key points of the &tos; and &pp; in a machine-readable format in-band.</li>
|
|
<li>Allow to query all information before authentication.</li>
|
|
<li>It should be possible to achieve the same effect with a client supporting &xep0050; and a web browser.</li>

<section2 topic='Interact with Terms of Service' anchor='usecase-interaction'>
|
|
<p>The interaction with the Terms of Service is handled using &xep0050;.</p>
|
|
<p>To request the current Terms of Service and Opt-ins/Opt-outs, the client starts an Ad-Hoc command session with the 'urn:xmpp:tos:0' node at its server:</p>
|
|
<example caption='Client initiates Ad-Hoc Command session'><![CDATA[
|
|
<iq type='set'
|
|
from='requester@service.example'
|
|
to='service.example'
|
|
id='cmd1'
|
|
xml:lang='en'>
|
|
<command xmlns='http://jabber.org/protocol/commands'
|
|
node='urn:xmpp:tos:0'
|
|
action='execute'>
|
|
<tos-support xmlns='urn:xmpp:tos:0'/>
|
|
</command>
|
|
</iq>
|
|
]]></example>
|
|
<p>The client MUST include a <tos-support/> child in the initial request to inform the server that it fully supports the protocol. A server MAY reject the Ad-Hoc command from a client which does not fully support the protocol if the form would likely not render correctly or completely. In that case, a <not-acceptable/> type='cancel' error MUST be returned.</p>
|
|
<p>The server SHOULD use the value of xml:lang at the <command/> element to determine the language of returned texts.</p>
|
|
<p>If the server allows the request, it starts the command session and returns the payload:</p>

|
|
<p>The command payload consists of two parts: The data form for legacy clients and additional opt-ins/opt-outs, and the machine-readable &tos; data. The machine-readable &tos; data is carried by a <tos/> element.</p>
|
|
<p>The <tos/> element has the following format:</p>
|
|
<dl>
|
|
<di><dt>version attribute</dt><dd>(exactly once) carries the opaque version identifier of the terms.</dd></di>
|
|
<di><dt><document/> element</dt><dd>(at least once) carries one of the possibly multiple documents which comprise the full terms of use (see below for details).</dd></di>
|
|
<di><dt><required-flags/> element</dt><dd>(at most once) carries a set of data form field var values which the user has to accept (set to true) in order to use the service.</dd></di>
|
|
</dl>
|
|
<p>In the future, more children may be added to the <tos/> element. Conforming clients thus MUST ignore all children they do not understand.</p>
|
|
<p>The <document/> element has the following format:</p>
|
|
<dl>
|
|
<di><dt><title/> element</dt><dd>(at most once) a human-readable title of the document in the language requested by the client.</dd></di>
|
|
<di><dt><source/> element</dt><dd>(at least once) a pair of url and MIME type. The same URL may be given multiple times with different MIME types. Duplicate MIME types MUST NOT occur.</dd></di>
|
|
</dl>
|
|
<p>The <required-flags/> element contains zero or more <required-flag/> elements. The <required-flag/> elements have a var attribute which refers to one of the fields in the data form. Note that this is semantically different from <require/> in the data form (see &xep0004;)</p>
|
|
<p>The data form has the FORM_TYPE 'urn:xmpp:tos:0'. The fields 'urn:xmpp:tos:0#version' and 'urn:xmpp:tos:0#documents' are mandatory. If the value of the 'urn:xmpp:tos:0#version' data form field and the version attribute of the <tos/> element differ, the response is invalid.</p>
|
|
<p>The data form MAY contain arbitrary fields after the 'urn:xmpp:tos:0#documents' field.</p>
|
|
<p>A client supporting the &tos; protocol should remove the fields prefixed with 'urn:xmpp:tos:0#' from the form when displaying the form and use a richer representation obtained from the <tos/> element for the same data.</p>
|
|
<p>The 'urn:xmpp:tos:0#documents' MUST contain exactly one URL from each <document/> advertised in the <tos/> element. It is used to inform users of legacy clients of the terms.</p>
|
|
<p>The server MAY include <instruction/> and <title/> elements in the data form.</p>
|
|
<p>Once the user has filled out the form, the client submits it to the server:</p>

<section2 topic='Inform client about Terms of Service expiry after authentication' anchor='usecase-expired'>
|
|
<p>If a user does not agree to an update of the &tos;, a service may lock down the account. In this case, authentication is handled as normal. In the post-authentication stream features, the server then MUST include a <tos/> element with a <agreement-required/> child:</p>

|
|
<p>If the <agreement-required/> element is included in the <tos/> stream feature, the client must first agree to the &tos; as described in <link url='#usecase-interaction'>Interact with Terms of Service</link>.</p>
|
|
<section3 topic='Reject bind attempt before agreement' anchor='usecase-expired-reject-bind'>
|
|
<p>If a client attempts to bind a resource before agreeing to the &tos;, the server rejects the request with a <policy-violation/> type 'cancel' error including an application defined condition of <agreement-required> in the namespace of this protocol.</p>
|
|
<p>A human readable error MUST be included for legacy clients. The human readable version SHOULD contain a URL to a web page where the user can agree to the &tos; without client support.</p>
