Which of the following is required for computer-generated contract forms?

• A. Reproduce Language Exactly as Approved
• B. Include Software Security to Prevent Changes
• C. Place Any Added Language in Blanks in a Different Font, Italics, or Bold
• D. All of the Above

Answer: (D)

When a contract form is generated by a computer in Colorado, the goal is to keep the approved text intact while making any changes clear and verifiable. Reproducing the language exactly as approved ensures the standard terms the Real Estate Commission has vetted stay in place, so there’s no drift from what was reviewed and authorized. Including software security to prevent changes protects the form from unauthorized edits, preserving its integrity and reducing the risk of misrepresentation or disputes caused by tampered wording. If a licensee adds language, placing those additions in blanks and using a different font, italics, or bold makes the modifications easy to spot and distinguish from the standard language, which helps all parties understand what was added and what remains the form’s original terms. Because all three practices work together to maintain accuracy, tamper-resistance, and clarity, the correct choice is that all of the above are required.
