I'm trying to find the location of the html file that has the terms-of-use. This would be the one created when Dataverse is installed. I've tried looking in /var/www and the payara5 directories.

There is no HTML file. The terms go into a database setting: https://guides.dataverse.org/en/6.0/installation/config.html#applicationtermsofuse

Sorry, I was confused by the reference to 'default language HTML file'.

Oh, I see. That is confusing. I guess the default language is often English.

@jamie jamison please feel free to make a pull request to word that better!

I think it makes sense as-is. This was just me. I was having a department discussion about terms when people sign up for an account and mistakenly thought there was an original file someplace.

Ok, if you change your mind, you know where to find us. :grinning:
