Parties
Full legal names and entity types for the business and representative, with registered addresses and contact points for notices.
A clear TRP Agreement limits liability, documents consent to third-party actions, and sets defined controls for data access, compliance responsibilities, and termination terms under applicable law.
Below are common organizational roles that complete or approve TRP Agreements and what they are responsible for.
Use these role mappings to assign reviewers and signatories to ensure the agreement reflects internal authority and segregation of duties.
A C‑level executive or an authorized officer often signs for the business. They must have corporate authority per internal bylaws or board resolution; corporate signatory errors can void delegation or expose the company to contract disputes.
An external agent, firm partner, or licensed preparer signs to accept appointment and limits of authority. The representative should include credentials, contact details, and an attestation that they will comply with applicable confidentiality and regulatory obligations.
