PUT/user/legal-acceptances/{document_key}/versions/{version}
Accept a legal document at the version you were shown

Quota · legal acceptances per principal

The address names the document and the version — the one in force, or the one coming — so the audit record of your acceptance names them too; the body says where you were asked. Accepting a version again changes nothing and answers with your original acceptance. Only a signed-in session can accept: an acceptance is a statement by the person who read the text, so an access token, an AI agent or an app acting for you is refused.
