Whilst Tony's logic (as always!) is spot on, I would be wary about not actually translating "acte" - or alluding to it with the "herein" suggestion.
The "representation" in my experience means that Mr. YYY signs the "acte" on behalf of company XXX.

After signing, Mr. YYY might not necessarily be involved with the rest of the "operation" so that is why I urge caution with this one.

: Why! Well nos words sought for 3 though I have defined my definition in a wrong way due to being overloaded by Translation in French (40 pages - Patent). My definition should have read "represented to act"!

: Absolutely not! To start with, that wouldn't correspond to the use of 'à' here; and in any case, it wouldn't make sense in the context as given. / If you have second thoughts, you do have the choice to hide an answer and re-post a corrected one.

French term (edited):
à l'acte
in / for the purposes of this operation
Depending on the context, you might need to use different words for 'acte', since all operations carried out by a notaire may be referred to as an 'acte', whereas in EN they may have different names.
In view of your context of a 'compromis de vente', I think the best solution is just to refer to it as an 'operation' (or something similar); you might want to go along the route of 'this document', although in this case the element of 'representation' probably goes beyond just a single document.

AllegroTrans's answer is of course more appropriate for the style and register of the context here.

: I also think that you have "defined your definition in a right way" and not just by "imho"

Thanks, C! I appreciate your support, even though my suggestion would be too 'woolly' and informal for the register required here; but I do believe the underlying interpretation is correct...
