In inc/languages/english/member.lang.php look for:

Edit: too late
Thank you LeX- ... an Destroyer
It's recommended that you use the ACP to modify language variables.
ACP -> Language Packs -> Manage -> *Language Name* -> Edit Language Variables -> Go -> member.lang.php
The registration agreement is stored in the variables agreement_1 to agreement_5.

You will have to CHMOD the language files to 666 so that they're writable by the webserver (if you haven't done so already). Or else there'll be a warning on the editor.
I thought I should add to this thread because it's basically the same problem. I want to just skip the terms of use all together and go directly to the register page. My feeling is that people will know what's okay to post and don't need an agreement. How do I delete the registration agreement completely?

Open member.php in your editor and find:
{
$plugins->run_hooks("member_register_agreement");
eval("\$agreement = \"".$templates->get("member_register_agreement")."\";");
output_page($agreement);
}
else
Replace with:
//{
//$plugins->run_hooks("member_register_agreement");
//eval("\$agreement = \"".$templates->get("member_register_agreement")."\";");
//output_page($agreement);
//}
//else
After this, when a user will register, will not see agreement page.
In case you want to reactivate this agreement, just remove // from this lines (268-274 if you have default member.php file - in MyBB 1.2.12).
