Accepted TOS is tripping me up

Struggling to pass this code challenge and I think the problem is with the accepted TOS. Anyone please assist.

accounts/models.py
from django.contrib.auth.models import (
    AbstractBaseUser,
    BaseUserManager,
    PermissionsMixin
)

from django.db import models

class UserManager(BaseUserManager):
    def create_user(self, email, dob, accepted_tos=False, password=None):
        if accepted_tos != True:
            raise ValueError("Users must first accept the terms of service")
        user = self.model(email=email, dob=dob, accepted_tos=True) #password=password)
        user.set_password(password)
        user.save()
        return user

    def create_superuser(self, email, dob, password):
        accepted_tos = True
        user = self.create_user(
            email,
            dob,
            password
        )
        user.is_staff = True
        user.is_superuser = True
        user.save()
        return user

Move the accepted_tos=True Into the arguments list for self.create_user(). Change the other parameters from positional to keyword parameters.

def create_superuser(self, email, dob, password):
        accepted_tos = True
        user = self.create_user(
            email,
            dob,
            password
        )

You didn't make superusers accept the TOS. Since you didn't pass it in, it gets the default of False.
