## Questions

Answered in full, and open — nothing here is behind a click.

Is this legally enforceable?

Yes, and what is enforceable is your document. Every state has adopted the Uniform Anatomical Gift Act, and under it a refusal you have signed is a legal instrument in its own right. It does not need our countersignature, a registry entry, or anyone's approval to be valid. We do not sign it, witness it or verify it: you do. We hold it and make it findable.

A signed refusal bars everyone else from making a gift on your behalf. Family members or hospital staff who would otherwise decide may act only in the absence of actual notice of your objection, which means your refusal has to reach the person making the decision.

Can I refuse vaccines and blood?

Yes you can, we believe in medical autonomy and give you the tools.

**Vaccines are a clause in the document you sign**, alongside the anatomical gift refusal. It's enforceable because it's an advance directive, and the clause says the refusal applies whether or not you are able to object at the time.

**Blood and blood products are a tick box on your record page**, shown near the top of what a responder reads so it is in front of the person deciding. It is not part of your signed document. If you want it to carry the weight of the instrument as well, write it into the document you execute and upload, and it will appear on both.

Is this a medical device?

No. It is an engraved accessory and a document hosting service. We store and display a legal document you executed. We do not draft it, witness it, verify it, or give legal or medical advice.

Can I buy this for my spouse or my parents?

Yes. One subscription covers your household — $99 a year for the first person and $50 for each one after, up to four persons on one plan. Everyone holds their own record: their own page, their own sign-in, their own quarterly confirmation.

Can I set this up for my child?

Yes, at any age. A seat on a family plan can be for a child under 18 is $50 a year, the same as any other seat. You look after their record from your own account: their details, their document, the people who get called. They do not get a sign-in of their own.

We ask you to consent as their parent or guardian before we collect anything, and you can delete their record and everything in it at any time from your account. When they turn 18, the record becomes theirs.

Is this anti-donation?

No. It operationalizes a mechanism the uniform act deliberately created. If you want your consent to donation documented and findable instead, the product works exactly the same way.

What if the hospital ignores it?

Two things happen. Your contacts are texted within seconds, so somebody who knows your wishes learns it is happening while it is still happening.

And every access is logged with a cryptographic fingerprint of exactly what the page said at that moment. If your directive was read and set aside, what was on the screen and when it was read is a matter of record rather than recollection.

Can anyone who scans it read my medical history?

Only what you choose to put there. By default the page carries your name, your birth year, what you refuse, the statute, and who to call. Nothing else, and that is how it stays unless you decide otherwise.

You can optionally add emergency health information: allergies, conditions, medications, implanted devices. It appears below your directive, marked plainly as entered by you and not reviewed by us. It is there only if you put it there, and you can remove it at any time.

Can any engraver do this?

No, and it is worth checking before you buy. The code needs a plate at least 14 mm wide (17 mm is what we ask for), a matte rather than polished finish, and a fiber laser; rotary and diamond-drag engraving cannot mark squares this small. [The full requirements are published here](https://wearabledocs.com/engraving), before you pay us anything, so you can send your engraver the link and ask first. The wallet card needs none of this.

Do I need a notary?

Witnesses are not required everywhere, and they are never a problem. Forty-six of the fifty-one ask only for a record you signed, and bring witnesses in only where somebody else signs at your direction. Some ask for more: Louisiana requires two adult witnesses, one of them disinterested, on any signed refusal, including one you sign yourself. Two witnesses cannot weaken your document anywhere, so we suggest two wherever you are. No state requires a notary for this; Texas offers a notary acknowledgment as an alternative to witnesses, and it is the only one that does.
