1. Your consent
Platform features allow agreements, NDAs, orders, and notices to be signed and delivered electronically. By using those features, or by accepting electronic delivery when you register, you consent to receive records and disclosures electronically and to sign documents electronically, as permitted by the U.S. Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act (ESIGN) and applicable state law such as the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act.
2. What this covers
- Agreements, NDAs, and confidentiality documents between you and Garland & Zhang or between you and another participant.
- Orders, confirmations, change orders, and delivery documentation presented for signature.
- Invoices, statements, ledger summaries, notices of change, and other account communications.
3. Paper copies and withdrawal
You may request a paper copy of any record by emailing us. You may withdraw consent to electronic records and signatures at any time by emailing us with your account details; withdrawal takes effect once processed, and means you may no longer be able to use electronic signing features or receive notices electronically. Withdrawal does not affect the validity of documents signed or delivered before it.
4. Hardware and software
To receive and retain electronic records you need a current web browser with cookies and JavaScript enabled, an email account you can access, and software able to read PDF files. Documents presented for signature can be downloaded and saved; we recommend you keep a copy of anything you sign.
5. How documents are delivered
Documents are made available in your account and, where appropriate, by email notification to the address on your account. You are responsible for keeping that address current and for ensuring that notices are not blocked by a spam filter.
6. Signatures and records
An electronic signature applied through the platform is intended to have the same effect as a handwritten signature on a paper document. We retain a record of the signature event, including the signer’s identity or email address, the time, the IP address, and the document version signed. Ask us if you need a copy of that record.
