What’s the etiquette for repeated moves to either create a draw or eliminate time on the clock

If the same position repeat 3 times, you press the Draw button and claim the draw.  Repeating moves is used in OTB play to save time, its not illegal or unethical.

Does the other person need to accept the draw if 3-fold repetition is met? Or does it just take one person to claim it?
