It carries on "... las partes aceptan mediante la firma electrónica el presente contrato".
I know we've had similar questions but the phrasing of this one is a bit different, in particular the "íntegro contenido" bit. Should this be something different from "In witness whereof"?

in witness whereof
I would simply use this, but if you want to try something else, how about "The signatories below signify their acceptance of the all the terms of this agreement"?
Ken Adams believes you don't even need this concluding clause, but I don't think, as translators, we have the option to go to that extreme:
"Here are two concluding clauses:
The authorized signatures for MICHIGAN and COMPANY below signify their acceptance of the terms of this AGREEMENT.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have indicated their acceptance of the terms of this Agreement by their signatures below on the dates indicated.
In both these concluding clauses, the parties say they’re accepting the terms of the contract. That’s unnecessary: signing a contract is sufficient to indicate assent."

"In witness whereof " is usually " en fé/testimonio de lo cual;

Toni Castano
: Your suggestion is not legalese. Plus I disagree with your statement: "En prueba de conformidad" can certainly be rendered as "in witness whereof".

"In witness whereof" seems an over-simplification to me,somehow, sorry, I disagree with you.

: Apart from the fact that your suggestion is not "legalese" the ST is not certifying compliance/conformity with a contract (that comes later, with time) , it's simply a signing-off phrase

: A literal translation here would be something like "as evidence of approval of the entire contents of this agreement". "Proof of compliance" is actually a mistranslation as "conformidad" doesn't mean "compliance" in this case.
