Ideally I would choose an "I agree" check box and a "submit" button,
but if that were not possible, I would go with "I agree" button. I
have always associated the word "click" with links, at least as a
user, and don´t like it when it is applied to buttons, though this may
be a personal preference. To me this is definitely an action and I
often look for buttons that perform actions on form, and would be a
bit frustrated if there were none. I think this should be a button for
sure, and if you can separate the "I agree" part into a check box, all
the better.
