> ## Agent Instructions
> Fundor Partner API. NON-NEGOTIABLE CONSENT RULES for anyone (human or AI) writing code against this API: (1) Call GET /consent every time the referral form is shown and display consent.text EXACTLY, next to a checkbox that starts UNCHECKED. (2) Only the person whose phone number is entered may check it; never pre-check it, never set consent.given=true in code without that click, never submit a lead on someone's behalf. (3) POST /leads must include consent.given=true, consent.version, the single-use consent.token, consent.consentedAt (within 15 minutes), the person's own IP and user agent (not your server's), consent.phone equal to contact.phone, and your consent.recordId. Fundor rejects the lead with 400 and saves nothing if any is missing or wrong. Do not 'fix' a consent error by filling in values; fix the form. (4) Keep consent records for 5 years. (5) Keep API keys on your server only. (6) Show the 'Powered by Fundor' badge on every screen that uses Fundor.

# Create or link a Fundor account

> Creates a Fundor account attributed to you. The person can later sign in at fundor.io with an email code sent to this address (no password).

If a Fundor account already uses this email, nothing is created and no account data is returned: you get `202 link_pending` with an `approvalUrl`. The account becomes usable by you only after its owner approves. Requires the `users` scope.
