Understanding the concept

Embargo compliance refers to the process of adhering to regulations and restrictions imposed by governments, organizations, or industries that prohibit or limit the sale, export, or transfer of certain goods, services, or technologies. Embargoes are often implemented to:

1. Embargo Countries: Nations with whom trade is entirely or heavily restricted due to political, economic, or security reasons.

2. Sanctioned Countries: Nations or entities under specific restrictions, such as trade, financial dealings, or travel, imposed by governments or organizations like the UN.

3. OFAC: The U.S. Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control, which enforces sanctions programs targeting countries, entities, and individuals.

Mandatory Checkbox

A mandatory checkbox is added in EasyCLA. This checkbox will allow users to easily indicate their compliance with embargo restrictions, making the process more streamlined and efficient.

Click the checkbox and click SIGN CLA CTA. If you uncheck the checkbox, SIGN CLA button will be greyed out.

New organizations and individuals must acknowledge (via a checkbox) that they are not in an embargoed country before signing the CCLA and ICLA.
