The facts the data processing agreement needs, as a JSON Schema. Optionally narrowed to one governing law and the client's role. Do not send the facts until the engagement has begun.

Starts a request for a data processing agreement ($350). Needs the client's legal name, entity type, place of incorporation and registered address; the person who will bind the client (name, title, work e-mail); every counterparty's legal name; adverse parties or "none"; the governing law (CALIFORNIA by default, or SPAIN); the client's role (PROCESSOR by default, or CONTROLLER). Returns a matter id and a matter token, shown once: keep it. The firm accepts the engagement when its automatic conflicts check is clear and payment is received (for a subscriber, when the engagement is accepted and the check is clear). If a possible conflict is found, nothing is charged, or the payment is refunded in full.

The firm's own card payment page for $350, available once the named person has accepted the engagement. The fee is charged in full at checkout and refunded in full if the firm declines the matter or does not deliver. The link is also e-mailed to the named person.

The fact package for the agreement, in the "dealroom.solo-intake/1" shape described by get_dpa_requirements. Accepted only once the engagement has begun, and again when the lawyer asks for changes. The counterparty must be one the firm checked for conflicts.
