DESCRIPTION:

    A module which displays your Terms & Conditions to users who want to
    register, and makes sure they accept the T&C before their registration
    is accepted.

    Note: No T&C will be displayed until the T&C text has been input by
              the administrator.
    
    Each time a new version of the T&C is created all users will be required to 
    accept the new version.

    Note: T&C text should only be entered by administrators or other highly trusted users.
              filter_xss_admin() is used to filter content for display, this is a very permissive 
              XSS/HTML filter intended for admin-only use.

   Integrates with Views, and ships with 2 default views that display T&C history, and user 
   acceptance of T&Cs.
