How else could you guarantee that an accept button was clicked?

The amount of scrolling is not important. The button to Accept (Submit)
should be after the notice about it. Then the server makes sure this
Submit button was what activated the form.

Form submit.
Since this all will be done with a <form>, no separate 'Accept' button
is necessary. The form contains content stating that 'Submitting' this
form is acceptance of the terms.

You would write the code similar to any other log in type script.

...which is why the server-side code makes sure that the Submit/Accept
button was clicked. Easy-peasy.

Might work ... but again, the design will depend on exactly how
important the acceptance is. We don't know that.
