Questions
Quick answers.
Who fills it in?
Anyone with the link. They are the referee in this form, type their own name and email, fill in each box and sign.
Can I change the questions?
Yes. In your workspace it is your own copy: add, remove or reword any field, then publish it. The original is never changed.
Can people attach files?
Where the form has a file box, people may attach a PDF or a picture. It is stored exactly as they upload it and never converted.
Is this legal advice?
No. It is a starting point in plain words. Change what does not fit before you publish it.
