It is written for 2 signers (publisher and author) and, by default, expires 30 days after it is sent if left unsigned. It covers two signers, agreement. Like every Abundera Sign template it is a convenience draft structured for ESIGN Act and UETA compliance, not a substitute for legal advice. Each signed copy is sealed with PAdES-LTA digital signatures, dual RFC 3161 timestamps, and a tamper-evident evidence package in WORM storage.
