Stat. tit. 18, § 18-1014.3","heading":"Document form, signature and delivery","body":"DOCUMENT FORM, SIGNATURE AND DELIVERY\n\nA. Except as provided in subsection B of this section, without\n\nlimiting the manner in which any act or transaction may be\n\ndocumented, or the manner in which a document may be signed or\n\ndelivered:\n\n1. Any act or transaction contemplated or governed by this\n\ntitle or the certificate of incorporation or bylaws may be provided\n\nfor in a document, and an electronic transmission shall be deemed\n\nthe equivalent of a written document. “Document” means (i) any\n\ntangible medium on which information is inscribed, and includes\n\nhandwritten, typed, printed or similar instruments, and copies of\n\nsuch instruments and (ii) an electronic transmission;\n\n2. Whenever Section 1001 et seq. of this title or the\n\ncertificate of incorporation or bylaws requires or permits a\n\nsignature, the signature may be a manual, facsimile, conformed or\n\nelectronic signature. “Electronic signature” means an electronic\n\nsymbol or process that is attached to, or logically associated with,\n\na document and executed or adopted by a person with an intent to\n\nauthenticate or adopt the document. A person may execute a document\n\nwith that person’s signature; and\n\n3. Unless otherwise agreed between the sender and recipient and\n\nin the case of a proxy or consent given by or on behalf of a\n\nshareholder subject to the requirements set forth in paragraphs 2\n\nand 3 of subsection C of Section 1057 and subsection C of Section\n\n1073 of this title, respectively, an electronic transmission shall\n\nbe deemed delivered to a person for purposes of this title and the\n\ncertificate of incorporation and bylaws when it enters an\n\ninformation processing system that the person has designated for the\n\npurpose of receiving electronic transmissions of the type delivered,\n\nso long as the electronic transmission is in a form capable of being\n\nprocessed by that system and such person is able to retrieve the\n\nelectronic transmission. Whether a person has so designated an\n\ninformation processing system is determined by the certificate of\n\nincorporation, the bylaws or from the context and surrounding\n\ncircumstances including the parties’ conduct. An electronic\n\ntransmission is delivered under this section even if no person is\n\naware of its receipt. Receipt of an electronic acknowledgement from\n\nan information processing system establishes that an electronic\n\ntransmission was received but, by itself, does not establish that\n\nthe content sent corresponds to the content received.\n\nSection 1001 et seq. of this title shall not prohibit one or\n\nmore persons from conducting a transaction in accordance with the\n\nUniform Electronic Transactions Act so long as the part or parts of\n\nthe transaction that are governed by Section 1001 et seq. of this\n\ntitle are documented, signed and delivered in accordance with this\n\nsubsection or otherwise in accordance with Section 1001 et seq. of\n\nthis title. This subsection shall apply solely for purposes of\n\ndetermining whether an act or transaction has been documented, and\n\nthe document has been signed and delivered, in accordance with\n\nSection 1001 et seq. of this title, the certificate of incorporation\n\nand the bylaws.\n\nB. Subsection A of this section shall not apply to:\n\n1. A document filed with or submitted to the Secretary of State\n\nor a court or other judicial or governmental body of this state;\n\n2. A document comprising part of the stock ledger;\n\n3. A certificate representing a security;\n\n4. Any document expressly referenced as a notice or waiver of\n\nnotice by Section 1001 et seq. of this title, the certificate of\n\nincorporation or bylaws;\n\n5. A ballot to vote on actions at a meeting of shareholders;\n\nand\n\n6. An act or transaction effected pursuant to Section 1100.1 of\n\nthis title.\n\nThe provisions of this subsection shall not create any\n\npresumption about the lawful means to document a matter addressed by\n\nthis subsection, or the lawful means to sign or deliver a document\n. of this title, the certificate of\n\nincorporation or bylaws;\n\n5. A ballot to vote on actions at a meeting of shareholders;\n\nand\n\n6. An act or transaction effected pursuant to Section 1100.1 of\n\nthis title.\n\nThe provisions of this subsection shall not create any\n\npresumption about the lawful means to document a matter addressed by\n\nthis subsection, or the lawful means to sign or deliver a document\n\naddressed by this subsection. No provision of the certificate of\n\nincorporation or bylaws shall limit the application of subsection A\n\nof this section except for a provision that expressly restricts or\n\nprohibits the use of an electronic transmission or electronic\n\nsignature or any form thereof, or expressly restricts or prohibits\n\nthe delivery of an electronic transmission to an information\n\nprocessing system.\n\nC.
