This is the disclosure that displays to each new recipient who is going to sign or add other information, or who is required to view the documents you send to them. The recipient must read and agree to the terms of the disclosure before they can access and take action on the documents you send. The ERSD does not apply to copy-only recipients, but does apply to recipients who must sign or view your documents. You can retrieve either the default ERSD that Docusign provides for U.S.-based transactions, or a custom ERSD. ## Languages You specify the language of the disclosure version that you want to retrieve by using the `langCode` parameter. **Important:** The system does not translate the ERSD for you. An account administrator must create a version of the account-level disclosure for each language that your signers use. For more information, see [Legal Disclosure](https://support.docusign.com/s/document-item?bundleId=pik1583277475390\&topicId=aqg1583277336549.html). ## Methods supported | Method | Description | | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | [get](/docs/esign-rest-api/reference/envelopes/envelopeconsumerdisclosures/get) | GET `/restapi/v2.1/accounts/{accountId}/envelopes/{envelopeId}/recipients/{recipientId}/consumer_disclosure/{langCode}` Gets the Electronic Record and Signature Disclosure for a specific envelope recipient. | | [getDefault](/docs/esign-rest-api/reference/envelopes/envelopeconsumerdisclosures/getdefault) | GET `/restapi/v2.1/accounts/{accountId}/envelopes/{envelopeId}/recipients/{recipientId}/consumer_disclosure` Gets the default Electronic Record and Signature Disclosure for an envelope. | ## EnvelopeConsumerDisclosures properties | Property | Type | Description | | -------------------------------------------- | ---------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | | `accountEsignId` | string | The GUID of the account associated with the consumer disclosure. | | `allowCDWithdraw` | string | When **true,** indicates that the customer can withdraw their consent to the consumer disclosure when they decline to sign documents.
