approved, agreed, confirmed
Explanation:
Used to indicate approval. In your example, the signatory has to mark the specific words "bon pour accord" (= roughly, "I confirm my approval") and then sign.

For info : another French set formula which is similar and often used is "lu & approuvé".

The former is 'safer', it confirms your agreement to whatever you are signing, which a signature does anyway ! Often used when a quote has been presented and a part payment is required in advance, when there is an interim agreement or payment and confirming that the rest of the work can go ahead. It validates what is set out in the doc concerned.

The latter has been questioned as often used at the end of very lengthy contracts in small writing when realistically the signatory does not really plough through all X pages before signing.

Both redundant but very common. The signature is the important thing.

I know the term in French but had wondered if there was an "official" equivalent in English. You confirmed my doubt!
Many thanks
