All                           parties also need to be aware of the existence of the terms of the agreement.    In addition, for organizational use, the individual representative may also need to                         confirm that he/she is authorized to contractually bind the organization by clicking                         on a box.    Digital or ​electronic signature is a key pillar of clickwrap agreements.

If agreement is formed at the moment the                             consumer fills their information into your clickwrap agreement and have a chance to                           read and review the entire agreement, this will be favored by the legal professionals                             over an indirect hyperlink reference to any text that is outside of the active viewable                               area.  Provide a summary alongside the text  While this may not be the norm out there, many service providers are taking steps                               towards greater transparency and easier comprehension of their clickwrap                   agreement.  Don’t leave anything for later  If you believe that you may need users to agree to any additional terms or conditions                                 after they have signed up for the services using clickwrap agreement, consider                         moving those terms to the clickwrap agreement.
