41021.5 Documents Involving Other Parties

• In the case of contracts or transactions requiring signatures from outside parties, e-signatures may be used only with the prior consent of all parties to the agreement. No party shall be required to accept an e-signature, and each party retains the right to determine their preferred method of signing. Consent to use e-signatures may be withdrawn at any time by any party, such that future documents must be signed in hard copy format. If consent is withdrawn, it shall not invalidate any documents already in effect that were signed electronically before consent was withdrawn.
