# Accept Business Terms

> Records a business's acceptance of one term. Send the term's `name` as `type` and its current `version`, both from [List Terms](/api-reference/workforce/terms/list-terms); call once per term. Acceptance only counts at the catalog's current version, so when a term's version changes the business has to accept it again.

Accepting a term the business has already accepted at the same version is a no-op and returns `204`, so retries are safe. Requires an API key with write access; keys with `READ` access can call the `GET` terms endpoints but not this one.

With a Platform API token, send the business's tenant key in `X-MultiTenantKey`. A business that doesn't exist or doesn't belong to your API key's tenant returns `404`.
