{{repanat|Authority}}
{{repanat|Authority|}}Assuming you have the ''{{repprov|capacity}}'' to enter into an agreement, there's also the question of whether you have taken the necessary internal corporate steps to officially do so. Hence, the authority rep.

But for those who don’t trust the law of agency — or their colleagues’ gullibility in believing people are who they claim to be — there’s this neat rep. It is blighted by the same [[Metaphysics|metaphysical]] canker as a {{repprov|capacity}} warranty, in that if you in fact ''do'' know the chap executing the contract ''isn’t'' properly authorised, then no representation that he gives you saying that he ''is'' will make a blind bit of difference. You might have a [[Negligent misstatement|negligent]], or even fraudulent misstatement claim against him, but he’s just some guy, you know, his pockets won’t be that deep, and if you ''knew'' it was a misstatement, good luck establishing [[causation]].
