Review Electronic Records and Signatures Policy*

Streamline Software, Inc. (“Streamline”) is pleased to offer its electronic verification and document signing service to you (the “E-Signature Service”). This service is designed to comply with the Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act (“the E-SIGN Act”), which establishes that electronic signatures, communications and records (collectively, “Records”) are valid and enforceable if they meet certain criteria. One criterion is the requirement that businesses obtain from consumers affirmative consent to receive and execute (sign) Records electronically. This E-Sign Consumer Disclosure and Consent (the “Notice”) sets out the terms and conditions of that consent.

To the extent you have agreement to a commercial agreement with Streamline, such as Streamline’s general terms of services, (“Master Agreement”), this Notice will be deemed incorporated therein. To the extent there is a conflict between this Notice and the Master Agreement, this Notice will control with respect to the subject matter hereof.

Your signature will be effective only after you choose to submit the Record. At any time before or after you submit the Record, you may print or save a copy.
