      #     validates_acceptance_of :terms_of_service

      # If the database column does not exist, the +terms_of_service+ attribute
      # is entirely virtual. This check is performed only if +terms_of_service+
      # is not +nil+ and by default on save.
      #
      # Configuration options:
      # * <tt>:message</tt> - A custom error message (default is: "must be
      #   accepted").
      # * <tt>:allow_nil</tt> - Skip validation if attribute is +nil+ (default
      #   is +true+).
      # * <tt>:accept</tt> - Specifies value that is considered accepted.
      #   The default value is a string "1", which makes it easy to relate to
      #   an HTML checkbox. This should be set to +true+ if you are validating
      #   a database column, since the attribute is typecast from "1" to +true+
      #   before validation.
      #
      # There is also a list of default options supported by every validator:
      # +:if+, +:unless+, +:on+ and +:strict+.
