# Sign the testing agreement

> What the testing agreement says, who can sign it in the console, what it covers and when it must be signed again.

> [!NOTE]
>
> Before you start: the agent must be **Proven yours**. Only the workspace owner or an admin can sign. The signature covers one agent, on one channel, at one address.

The testing agreement is the written permission DeepBlocker needs before any test message goes to your agent. In the console it is the rules of engagement of that agent. Signing it records who agreed, when, from which address, and stores a PDF of the text.

## What you agree to

The agreement has seven points. The console shows the exact wording; this is what they say.

1. You own the agent, or its owner allows you to have it tested.
2. DeepBlocker may send it test messages that try to trick it into breaking its rules, on the channel and address named only.
3. Tests run only when you or your team start them, and stop when anyone in your workspace presses Stop.
4. We test nothing else: no other address, no other system, no attempt to overload or break your service.
5. We keep the test conversations and results for 90 days, then delete them, unless they are part of a report you keep.
6. Reports and test conversations are visible only to your workspace and to DeepBlocker.
7. The agreement lasts 365 days from the day you sign. You can stop every test at any time.

## Stop conditions

Tests stop at once when any of these happens:

* The agent shows what looks like real personal data of a real person.
* Anyone in the workspace presses Stop.
* The agent or its service stops answering normally.

## Steps

**1. Open the Tests tab**

Open the agent from the **Agents** tab. The **Tests** tab shows the checklist and, once the agent is proven, the **Testing agreement** block.

**2. Read the seven points**

They are listed in the block. The same words go into the PDF.

**3. Fill in your name and role**

Type **Your full name** and **Your role**, for example Head of IT. Both need at least two characters.

**4. Tick the box and sign**

Tick "I have read the testing agreement and I am allowed to accept it for this agent." Press **Accept and sign**. The block then shows **Agreement signed**, by whom, and the date it ends.

## What is recorded

| Field | Value |
| - | - |
| Signed by | Your name, role and the email of your account |
| Signed at | The time you pressed the button, and the address your browser came from |
| Scope | The agent's channel and its address at signing |
| Test windows | Any day, any hour, UTC |
| Emergency contact | You, the signer. Critical findings are escalated to this contact |
| Retention | 90 days |
| Expiry | 365 days after signing |
| Record | A PDF of the text, with its hash |

## When to sign again

| Situation | What the console says |
| - | - |
| Never signed | "No testing agreement is signed for this agent yet." |
| Address changed | "The agent address changed since the agreement was signed. Sign it again for the new address." |
| Ended | "The testing agreement has ended. Sign it again to keep testing." |
| Ending within 30 days | "The current agreement ends on date. You can sign a new one now." |

A signature still good for more than 30 days cannot be replaced.

## What happens next

Plan and start a test. See [Run tests](https://docs.deepblocker.ai/agent-assurance/run-tests.md). Every message we send is checked against the signed agreement first.

## Problems

> [accordion] The block says to ask your workspace owner or an admin
>
> You have the member role. Only an owner or admin can sign. See [Team and roles](https://docs.deepblocker.ai/account/team.md).

> [accordion] It says to prove the agent is yours first
>
> The agreement needs a proven address. Finish the proof on the **Connection** tab. See [Add an agent](https://docs.deepblocker.ai/agent-assurance/add-agent.md).

> [accordion] It says the agreement wording changed
>
> The text was updated while your page was open. Reload the page, read it again and sign.

> [accordion] It says a testing agreement is already in place
>
> The current one runs for more than 30 days. Nothing to do.

> [accordion] It says DeepBlocker records the testing agreement of this agent with you
>
> The agent was added by DeepBlocker. Its agreement is recorded with you by your DeepBlocker contact and can cover more channels. Write to them.

> [accordion] It says the signed agreement could not be stored
>
> The PDF could not be saved. Wait a minute and press **Accept and sign** again.
