    This approach is not working.  I do not have the Find Friends app so that is not an option either.

    This... I tried other suggestions like logging into Find my Friends or Find My iPhone and none worked.  I finally deleted the iCloud account from the phone and then set it back up again.  Bingo, worked and was never asked to agree to terms thus avoiding the infinite loop of being asked to agree, yet system saying server is unavailable.

     

    I would suggest deleting your iCloud account from your phone first and then setting it back up again.

    Enable cookies then restart your device. Doing so will make the agree button visible.

    I wound up trying the find my friends app workaround with no success.

     

    Eventually I wound up shutting down my phone.

     

    NOT powering down my phone.  That is, I didn't go to the "power down" option with the red slider.

     

    I restarted the phone, and when I did, it asked me to sign into icloud. Once I did that, it didn't ask me for terms and conditions any more, and everything seems to be working fine.

    Have the same problem as everyone else on this thread with my iPhone 4, tried everything but no success. Your idea sounds good to me as Restrictions are turned Off on my iPad which updated seamlessly. On the phone they are On, but I now can't turn them off as I do not have a Restrictions code. I don't remember ever setting one up but I suppose I must have. I have tried my normal passcode and a few other numbers with no success and have 8 failed attempts and getting nervous. Are you able to tell me if there is a limit to how many failed attempts i can have without causing more problems? Apart from iCloud the phone is happy that it is me, I can buy stuff on iTunes for example but can't access any iCloud functions. I can't turn find my iPhone off and therefore can not restore the backup I made before moving to 7. The irritating thing is although I can't turn find my iPhone off, I can't see it from my iPad because iCloud isn't working because I can't agree to the terms. Hoping that apple will release a fix.

    I have spent days trying to sort this but your tip of turning on Cookies in Safari is the only one that worked thank you so much.  Could not figure why it all worked on iPad and Mac but not iPhone, all up and running now.  I can now delete that awful Find my Friends app!!!

    Thanks michbarg - this also seemed to stop my iphone asking me for my ID repeatedly, so a really good tip to check your restrictions.

    Settings > Safari >

                                  Do not track OFF

                                  Block Cookies NEVER

     

    This will reveal the agree button & allow you to send the terms & conditions via email.

    A simple switch it off and switch it back on again worked for me! iCloud Ts&Cs could be agreed to afterwards.
