Withdrawing Consent. The Contractor has the right to withdraw consent and agreement to sign electronic documents
with electronic signature by contacting the City. The legal validity and enforceability of the electronic documents, signatures and
deliveries used prior to withdrawal of consent will not be affected.
Paper Documents. At any time prior to electronic signature and return of documents, the Contractor may request paper
contract documents by contacting the City.
Hardware and Software Requirements. In order to receive electronic contract documents and electronically sign them,
Contractor will need access to a computer or mobile device with internet service and access to an email account.
Written Notice. If written notice is required, such notices shall not be provided electronically. Written notice or request

promptly update the City to any changes in this information by contacting the City.
By signing below, I agree that I have read this Consent and Agreement and understand it and that my electronic signature
is the legally binding equivalent to my handwritten signature. I accept the conditions of this agreement. I acknowledge and affirm
that I am the person duly authorized to sign. I agree that I will not allow any other person to use my email to electronically sign a
contract with the City. I understand that my e-signature is linked to a document and will become invalid if that document is changed
or altered in any way. I will not contest the validity or enforceability of any electronically signed contract because the document
and/or my signature are in electronic form.
