I'd recommend against using javascript, users can turn that off in their
browser.

Put the following on your checkout page:

<INPUT TYPE=hidden NAME=policy_agree VALUE=""><INPUT TYPE=checkbox
NAME=policy_agree VALUE=1 style="border-width: 0px; background-color :
#FFFFFF;"> I agree to and understand the policies.

In your profiles.order put the following in the profile section for your
checkout page:

policy_agree=required You must agree to our policies to checkout

Good luck,
