# REFRACT standard consent policy, version 2026.1.
#
# Starter text awaiting counsel's review (docs/decisions/esign-counsel-review.md, Q13). It is
# deliberately conservative and is not a draft: it ships and is shown to signers as written.
# Counsel's edits ship as a new version (a new file version and a new registry entry); this
# version is never edited, because envelopes created with it keep its text.
#
# This comment is part of the file's bytes and so is covered by its registered hash
# (systemConsentRegistry.ts). Changing anything in this file, including this comment, needs a
# new version.

  title: Consent to use electronic records and signatures
  sections:
    - heading: What this consent covers
      paragraphs:
        - The organization that sent you this document is asking you to review and sign it electronically. This consent covers this document, the records about it that are provided to you, and your electronic signature on it.
        - If you consent, you agree to use an electronic signature on this document in place of a handwritten signature.
    - heading: Paper copies
      paragraphs:
        - You may ask the organization that sent you this document for a paper copy of it. Contact them directly to ask, and to find out whether a fee applies.
    - heading: Withdrawing your consent
      paragraphs:
        - You may decline to sign this document instead of giving consent. You may also withdraw your consent before you sign by declining to sign, or by contacting the organization that sent you this document.
        - Withdrawing your consent does not affect records already provided to you electronically, or the effect of a signature you have already given.
    - heading: What you need
      paragraphs:
        - "To review and sign electronically you need: a device with a current web browser, access to the email address this document was sent to, and software that can open PDF files. To keep a copy, you need to be able to save or print a PDF file."
    - heading: Keeping your contact details up to date
