I've been informed about


Explanation:
"I've been informed about
the articles X and Y of the Civil Code"

<signature>

This means the signatory acknowledges that he/she knows about (has been let to know) the legal provisions in question. I wouldn't suggest translating with "explained" as it would imply bigger explanations/consultations and deeper understanding, which is more difficult to prove, more intangible. :) Therefore, the person is simply "informed".

Example sentence(s):
  • WORK-STUDY EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT -- I’ve been informed and understand that late timesheets will not be paid until the following pay period.
  • XYZ, Inc. Employee Notification of Sampling Results -- I’ve been informed about the results as stated above. _ (Employee’s signature)

disagree  Valters Feists: Your version is quite long. + The correct usage, more likely: "content" ('that which is contained' http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/content), but not "contents" (as in 'table of contents', http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/contents)
7 hrs
  -> You can omit "of something...". In this context, "content" should be used in plural: http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/content
agree  The LT>EN Guy: Tikrai gerai išversta. Sutinku, kad "contents", o ne "content".
