A representative guides one through the signing of a contract; e.g. internet services. What empowers them to do this? What are they, legally?
<p>I'm looking for some legal terms and concepts related to the empowerment of a representative to guide someone through the signing of a contract. Is there a legal concept for such a person? Specifically, in the case of, e.g., whoever answers one's call in a cellphone company one wants to make a contract with, the representative isn't allowed to, for example, change the adhesion contract, but they do seem empowered to represent the company in the signing of the contract. So it seems to me that they are some sort of representative, but maybe they are legally something less than a &quot;full&quot; representative of the company. What is such a person, legally?</p>

<h2>An <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Law_of_agency" rel="noreferrer">agent</a></h2>
<blockquote>
<p>a person, called the agent, that is authorized to act on behalf of another (called the principal) to create legal relations with a third party.</p>
