if someone clicks Place order before accepting "terms and condition" they get a weird error message on the site. is it possible to change that error message to "please agree to terms and conditions"

I'd fix the error in the search before changing the message

so that error message has nothing to do with terms and conditions?

No I'd have thought there is a search on a before submit script

okay thank you

Can confirm your error message is not the standard error message for that field. Something else is going wrong
