It has two radio-buttons with:
* "I accept the agreement"
* "I do not accept the agreement"

The latter one is the one selected by default, and until the user selects the "I accept", the "Next>" button is greyed-out.

What I would suggest would be to remove both radio-buttons, and just leave the "Next>" button active.
