celebraram


Explanation:
Even English can be flowery at times... "have caused...to sign" simply means they signed the contract... in Portuguese "celebraram"... If you think about it, how can you "cause something to be signed by you", unless you simply sign it with your own hand. You can't make someone sign for you.

The other expression in Portuguese (PT-PT, at least) is "mandaram lavrar" --- which means they had the contract prepared/drawn up, but the exact phrase here has to do with the signing and not the drawing up of the document.

determinaram que/ordenaram que/ou simplesmente "firmam"


Explanation:
In witnesse thereof, the Parties have caused this Agreement

E, por assim estarem justas e convencionadas/contratadas, as partes determinaram que o presente instrumento fosse firmado/assinado

Ou simplesmente:

E, por assim estarem justas e convencionadas/contratados, firmam as partes o presente instrumento através dos seus representantes...

Pessoalmente, não vejo necessidade do uso do "causativo" em português neste caso. O fato de ser assinado pelos representantes já deixa claro o efeito "causativo".

Não usamos o "causativo" nas mesmas situações em que este é usado em inglês. Isso é como traduzir "I've had my hair cut" por "Mandei cortar meu cabelo". Algo que eu diria simplesmente "Cortei meu cabelo" e todos que me conhecem sabem que foi meu sobrinho que o fez. Agora, situação diferente seria "I've had my car washed". = "Mandei lavar o (meu) carro".

Quase sempre há uma forma mais "natural" de se dizer isso sem utilizar o "causativo".

Raras vezes vi o uso do causativo nessa fórmula em nenhum contrato escrito no Brasil.

No entanto, se necessário, prefiro usar "determinaram que...fosse" ou o menos usual "ordenaram que..."
