Can I use emojis in my terms of use in Illinois? What are the requirements?

Illinois Terms of Use Requirements

In Illinois, there are no specific requirements regarding the use of emojis in terms of use agreements. However, it is important to ensure that the terms of use are clear and understandable to users.

According to the Illinois Electronic Commerce Security Act, terms of use agreements must be made available to users in a manner that is “clear and conspicuous” [1]. This means that the terms of use should be easy to find and understand.

It is also important to ensure that the terms of use are enforceable. To be enforceable, the terms of use must be agreed to by the user. This can be done through a clickwrap agreement, where the user must click a button indicating their agreement to the terms [2].

In summary, while there are no specific requirements regarding the use of emojis in terms of use agreements in Illinois, it is important to ensure that the terms of use are clear, understandable, and enforceable.
