Hi @mlehotskylf, I have updated the documentation: please check and verify.

Additionally, I have added the steps also for

Thanks @ssinghlinux1989. Couple comments.

1) Please add:

The compliance confirmation checkbox ensures that contributors comply with U.S. laws and regulations concerning restricted territories and entities, as enforced by the U.S. Department of the Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC).
Contributors are required to check this box to certify compliance before signing CLA. By doing so, they confirm that they or their organization meet the compliance criteria outlined.
False certifications may result in the rejection or revocation of the contributor or organization.

Maybe you can partially replace some of your text with this statement above.

2) Please note that we renamed Consent to Compliance Confirmation. Please update the screenshot and text in the documentation.

3) I'm not sure if terms Embargo Countries, Sanctioned Countries, OFAC, etc, refers to the same thing. I would suggest to run this text by ChatGPT or other AI to make sure the documentation is closely relevant to the text we have in UI (because I can't validate that).

4) I would probably recommend to keep this documentation slightly shorter.

5) I found one extra "/" which may need to be removed (see the screenshot below).

Once you are done we will send this for the review to the legal team.

Thank you again!

@mlehotskylf
These terms are related but different.
Embargo Countries: Nations with whom trade is entirely or heavily restricted due to political, economic, or security reasons.
Sanctioned Countries: Nations or entities under specific restrictions, such as trade, financial dealings, or travel, imposed by governments or organizations like the UN.
OFAC: The U.S. Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control, which enforces sanctions programs targeting countries, entities, and individuals.

It looks good, thank you @ssinghlinux1989 . Just please note that this "compliance check" will be for ICLA/ECLA (#4483) and CCLA (#4504).
