1.1 Electronic Signatures. You are not required to use or accept electronic agreements or signatures provided by Emagia’s Services. If you do not wish to use the Services, notify the parties that are sending you credit application forms and/or other documents via the Services (your “counterparties”) that you wish to sign using paper documents and do not use the Services to execute any documents sent to you by your counterparties.

1.2 Consent. Each time you sign agreements using the Services provided by Emagia, you affirmatively consent to conducting electronic business transactions and using electronic signatures via the Services. You also confirm your ability to access information in the form that will be used to provide the information that is subject to your consent. Your consent applies only to the transaction that gave rise to the obligation to provide the agreement. If you are a consumer, you may have the right or option to have the agreement provided or made available on paper or in non-electronic form. You hereby agree that Emagia has no obligation to provide or make available on paper or non-electronic forms any agreements to which you are a party and that your counterparty is solely responsible for providing any agreements on paper or in non-electronic form. After signing a document using the Services, Emagia will provide you with the option to print a paper copy of the document, and no fee is charged for this copy. Prior to signing an agreement, Emagia does not provide an option for you to receive the agreement in paper or non-electronic form.

1.3 Withdrawing Consent. If you wish to withdraw the consent to have the agreement provided or made available in an electronic form and to use electronic signatures, you must stop using the Services and notify any parties that are sending you documents via the Services that you wish to sign using paper documents. You agree that your counterparties, rather than Emagia, are solely responsible for notifying you of any conditions, consequences (which may include termination of your relationship with your counterparties), or fees in the event of such withdrawal. Any decision to consent or not consent to current or future transactions does not have an effect on the legality of documents that you have previously executed using Emagia’s Services. If you wish to update information needed for Emagia to contact you, you may (a) change the email address where you would like to receive electronic communications by sending an email to info@emagia.com that contains both your old and new email address or (b) login to your thecreditapplication.com account and change your email address in your account settings.

If you cancel your subscription or your account is terminated in accordance with the provisions herein, your agreements and templates may be deleted or rendered not accessible via the Services. When all counterparties have signed an agreement that you have signed using the Services, you will receive the executed agreement in HTML Format emailed to you (unless this option has been disabled in the document sender’s account). You agree that neither Emagia nor its vendors, suppliers or licensors are responsible for any damages you may suffer or incur resulting from information or communication that is blocked by a spam filter and that you are solely responsible for implementing appropriate safeguards to secure your phone, computer or equipment and to back-up your information stored on each. You may login to your thecreditapplication.com account, created for you after you have executed an agreement, to access and download your agreement for a limited time in the future. You are solely responsible for retaining your agreements, and you hereby agree that you are solely responsible for retaining any agreements that you execute using the Services for the periods required by any applicable statute of limitation and that Emagia shall have no liability for not retaining any agreements for such periods.
