English translation:aware of the agreement
Explanation:
"Estou ciente" means "I know about sth", for instance when I sign my son's report card I write Ciente before my signature, meaning I know those are his grades but it doesn't mean I know why he got them, that is, I'm not acquainted with the assessment processes he's undergone, which questions he failed to answer, etc. I'm just aware of his grades. So I believe that "aware of" would be better than "acquainted with". Of course the whole context must be taken into consideration and not only those two words in isolation.
