Google Forms does not have a built-in widget to add the terms and conditions within the form itself, but you can add the terms and conditions in the description for the TT option or include the link to your terms and conditions page in the description option for the checkboxes question or use the Formfillable addon to show the consent screen with the terms and conditions.

#1 Add terms and conditions

You can add the terms and conditions text directly in Google Forms.

Open your form in Google Forms
Click on the TT option to add a title and description
Enter "Terms and conditions" in the title option
Enter the terms and conditions text in the description option
To get consent from the users, you can add a required checkboxes question with "I agree" as the answer choice

The limitation with this option is that the form might become difficult to access and complete. Users may need to scroll through the form to read them, fill the answers and submit it.

#2: Add hyperlink

You can add the link to the terms and conditions as a hyperlink in the description option for the checkboxes question so that users choose to click on the link to read the terms and then check the "I agree" answer choice to provide consent.

Open your form in Google Forms
Click on the + option to add a checkboxes question
Enter "Terms and conditions" in the title option
Add the link to the terms & conditions page as a hyperlink in the description option
Add "I agree" as an answer choice for this checkboxes question
Mark this question as required so that users have to answer this question to submit the form

The limitation with this option is that the users will have to open an external link to read the terms; some users might skip this step and submit the form without reading the terms.

If you don't have the terms and conditions published online, either on your website or other platforms, then you can create google doc with T&C's and publish it.

Create a google document with the terms and conditions text
Click on the Share option in the top right corner
Change the general access to "Anyone with the link" with viewer permissions
Copy the link and add it as hyperlink in the form

#3: Show consent screen

The options listed above provides a simple way to inform the users about the terms and conditions. However, for legal purposes, it's recommended to have users explicitly acknowledge your terms and conditions by clicking on a button. You can use the Formfillable addon to use Google Docs as template to show a tailored consent dialog box with the terms and conditions before submit.

Create a Google Docs with the terms and conditions
Install the Formfillable addon for Google Workspace marketplace
Open your form in Google Forms
Click on the addon icon
Click Formfillable
Click "Show consent screen"
Consent screen set up wizard will be displayed
Select "Existing Google Docs template" for the "Create consent screen from" option, click Next
Click Next
Google Drive file picker will be dispalyed
Select the google docs with the terms and conditions, click Select
The google doc will be automatically converted into a consent screen and displayed before submit.

When the user fills the form and clicks on the submit button, the consent screen will be displayed. Users can review the terms and conditions and then click on the Agree button to submit the response or click Cancel. The clickwrap agreements are often considered more legally enforceable than checkbox agreements because they require users to take an affirmative step to demonstrate consent.
