Why did you install iTunes in the first place? It’s an optional download and doesn’t come pre-installed. To remove iTunes, drag it’s icon in the Applications folder to the recycling bin.

In fact iTunes no longer exists in the last two macOS releases. It was split into the videos and music apps and the iOS recovery stuff was moved to finder. iTunes now only exists on Windows.

The iTunes store still exists though. Which is probably what the agreement stuff was for.

AFAIR, it's not an optional download. You can remove it, but it comes pre-installed. I even wouldn't be surprised if it comes back after upgrades.
