Woocommerce disable script opening terms inline

Question

On the checkout page in Woocommerce there is an "I accept terms and conditions" checkbox. The "terms and conditions" is a link, but Woocommerce captures the click event on the link, and instead opens a small popup(?) with the Terms and conditions page.

I would like to disable the script, and have it be just a normal link.

I identified the js code which captures this event. Unfortunately it's a part of checkout.min.js which controls other parts of the checkout experience too, so I would like to keep the rest of the script intact.

i = {
        init: function() {
            e(document.body).on("click", "a.woocommerce-terms-and-conditions-link", this.toggle_terms)
        },
        toggle_terms: function() {
            if (e(".woocommerce-terms-and-conditions").length)
                return e(".woocommerce-terms-and-conditions").slideToggle(), !1
        }
    };
i.init()

Bonus question, can I change the link to point to an arbitrary url (a pdf in this case)?

cale_b is right.

But because the link already has target="_blank" there is no need for add a new click handler. To archieve that your custom javascript code is load / run after WooCommerce's script you can use wp_add_inline_script.

I use this snippet and it works:

function disable_wc_terms_toggle() {
    wp_add_inline_script( 'wc-checkout', "jQuery( document ).ready( function() { jQuery( document.body ).off( 'click', 'a.woocommerce-terms-and-conditions-link' ); } );" );
}

add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'disable_wc_terms_toggle', 1000 );

Add this to your theme's functions.php and your done.
