To show a checkbox for the terms and conditions in OneStepCheckout the following steps must be performed:

First enable the terms and conditions in the store view:

1. Stores > Configuration - select correct store view.
2. Sales > Checkout > Enable terms and conditions > "Yes"

Then, in order to render it as a checkbox and not a link:

1. Stores > Terms and conditions
2. Find the correct terms for the store view and click on them.
3. Make sure the terms and conditions are enabled.
4. Select "Applied" > "Manually".

The configuration "Applied" changes whether it's displayed as a checkbox or a link.
