This was done with the record function of Katalon. The large line that you can not see on the image: id("checkout")/div[@class="row justify-content-center"]/div[@class="review\_section col-12 col-lg-6 offset-lg-1"]/div[@class="terms-conditions\_section"]/div[@class="checkbox m-0 my-0"]/label[@class="text"] ![rs](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/katalon/original/2X/2/266f64261b2c485298d0efe74f61734d1580a07f.png) ---
