Electronic Signatures
Last Updated: 12/4/2024
Purpose
3PLX LLC (3PLX) encourages customers to agree to receive and sign documents electronically to streamline and expedite processes, reduce paper usage, and enhance efficiency in communication and record-keeping.
"Electronic documents" refer to any files or records—such as contracts, agreements, forms, or invoices—that you may complete via a web page, download and save on your device, or attach to an email. These documents typically exist in digital formats (e.g., PDF, Word) and can be printed if desired, though they are primarily stored and managed electronically on a server, cloud platform, or your personal device. An "electronic signature" encompasses any mark, symbol, sound, or process—whether written, typed, stamped, digitally encrypted, or otherwise associated with an electronic document—that a person executes with the intent to authenticate or sign. This mirrors traditional paper-based signatures: just as a handwritten signature or an "X" legally binds a printed document, an electronic signature can take various forms, including typing your name in a designated field, clicking a "submit" button, selecting a checkbox, or using advanced digital signature technologies like encrypted keys. For instance, if you sign a paper document with ink, scan it, and save it digitally, that scanned image also qualifies as an electronic signature. To ensure transparency, please review your rights and obligations below:
Right to Receive Paper Documents
You have the right to request and receive any document in paper or non-electronic form at no additional cost. If you prefer a physical copy of an electronic document, you may right-click on the file using your mouse and select "print" to generate a paper version. Alternatively, you can contact 3PLX directly to request a mailed hard copy.
Right to Withdraw Consent
You retain the right to withdraw your consent to receive or sign electronic documents at any time. To do so, please contact 3PLX at (561) 800-3559 or via email at info@3plx.net. Withdrawing consent will not impact the legal validity or enforceability of any electronic documents, signatures, or transactions completed prior to your request. This means that all previously executed electronic signatures and documents will remain fully binding and legally effective.
Changes to Your E-Mail Address
It is your responsibility to keep 3PLX informed of any updates to your email address to ensure uninterrupted delivery of electronic documents and communications. Please notify 3PLX or your designated representative as soon as possible by calling (561) 800-3559 or emailing info@3plx.net with your updated contact information.
Minimum Hardware and Software Requirements
To effectively access (open and read) and retain (save or print) electronic documents, you will need certain hardware and software. These include, but are not limited to:
- A valid, active email address for receiving documents and notifications.
- A computer, tablet, or mobile device with reliable Internet or mobile data connectivity.
- Sufficient storage space on your device to save electronic documents or a printer for hard copies.
- A current web browser (e.g., Chrome, Firefox, Safari) supporting 128-bit encryption for secure access.
- Software capable of viewing common file formats, such as Adobe Acrobat Reader for PDFs.
3PLX recommends keeping your software updated to ensure compatibility and security when accessing electronic documents.
Your Ability to Access Disclosures
