Best thing you can do is store the data and time of the acceptance, plus a full copy of the terms they agreed to. If the T&Cs on the site change at any point you need to know which ones people agreed to, and whether they need to be asked to agree to new ones. This can be more or less important depending on the nature of the site but it's worth doing just in case.
