Parties agreed to: Cody Smirl, Det. Jeff Curl, Kyle Hayes, David Maxwell
CONSUMER DISCLOSURE
From time to time, Office of the Attorney General (we, us or Company) may be required by law
to provide to you certain written notices or disclosures. Described below are the terms and
conditions for providing to you such notices and disclosures electronically through the
DocuSign, Inc. (DocuSign) electronic signing system. Please read the information below
carefully and thoroughly, and if you can access this information electronically to your
satisfaction and agree to these terms and conditions, please confirm your agreement by clicking
the `I agree' button at the bottom of this document.
Electronic signature
An electronic signature is an electronic identifier, created by a computer, attached to or logically
associated with an electronic record, executed or adopted by a person with the intent and with the
actual authority to sign the record. Your electronic signature has the same legal force and effect
as a manual signature. Your electronic signature constitutes your signature, acceptance, and
agreement as if you signed in writing.
Security standards
DocuSign provides security assurance with enterprise -wide ISO 27001:2013 certification, xDTM
compliance, as well as SSAE 16, SOC 1 Type 2, SOC 2 Type 2 reports. DocuSign delivers data
confidentiality with application level AES 256 bit encryption.
Sending information to and receiving information from us
The Public Information Act, chapter 552 of the Texas Government Code, applies to all
information we send and receive. The Public Information Act protects information from public
disclosure if it is confidential by any law or rule. If we receive a written request for information,
the Public Information Act requires us to publicly disclose requested information that is not
confidential by law or rule or otherwise excepted from public disclosure. If you receive any
information from us in error, you are not authorized to read, print, retain, copy, or disseminate
the information. Any information you receive in error may be confidential information that
cannot be disclosed without violating the criminal provisions of the Public Information Act or
Texas Penal Code section 39.06. If you receive information in error, please immediately send an
e-mail to servicedesk@oag.texas.gov to notify us of the error and delete all copies of the
information you received.
Getting paper copies
At any time, you may request from us a paper copy of any record we provided or made available
electronically to you through the DocuSign system. You will have the ability to download and
print documents we send to you through the DocuSign system during and immediately after
signing session and, if you elect to create a DocuSign signer account, you may access them for a
limited period of time (usually 30 days) after such documents are first sent to you. After such
time, if you wish for us to send you paper copies of any such documents from our office to you,
you will be charged a $0.00 per -page fee. You may request delivery of such paper copies from us
by following the procedure described below.
Withdrawing your consent
If you decide to receive notices and disclosures from us electronically, you may at any time
change your mind and tell us that thereafter you want to receive required notices and disclosures
only in paper format. How you must inform us of your decision to receive future notices and
disclosure in paper format and withdraw your consent to receive notices and disclosures
electronically is described below.
Consequences of changing your mind
If you elect to receive required notices and disclosures only in paper format, it will slow the
speed at which we can complete certain steps in transactions with you and delivering services to
you because we will need first to send the required notices or disclosures to you in paper format,
and then wait until we receive back from you your acknowledgment of your receipt of such
paper notices or disclosures. To indicate to us that you are changing your mind, you must
withdraw your consent using the DocuSign `Withdraw Consent' form on the signing page of a
DocuSign envelope instead of signing it. This will indicate to us that you have withdrawn your
consent to receive required notices and disclosures electronically from us and you will no longer
be able to use the DocuSign system to receive required notices and consents electronically from
us or to sign electronically documents from us.
All notices and disclosures will be sent to you electronically
Unless you tell us otherwise in accordance with the procedures described herein, we will provide
electronically to you through the DocuSign system all required notices, disclosures,
authorizations, acknowledgements, and other documents that are required to be provided or made
available to you during the course of our relationship with you. To reduce the chance of you
inadvertently not receiving any notice or disclosure, we prefer to provide all of the required
notices and disclosures to you by the same method and to the same address that you have given
us. Thus, you can receive all the disclosures and notices electronically or in paper fonnat through
the paper mail delivery system. If you do not agree with this process, please let us know as
described below. Please also see the paragraph immediately above that describes the
consequences of your electing not to receive delivery of the notices and disclosures
electronically from us.
How to contact Office of the Attorney General
You may contact us to let us know of your changes as to how we may contact you electronically,
to request paper copies of certain information from us, and to withdraw your prior consent to
receive notices and disclosures electronically as follows:
To contact us by email send messages to: servicedesk@oag.texas.gov
To advise Office of the Attorney General of your new e-mail address
To let us know of a change in your e-mail address where we should send notices and disclosures
electronically to you, you must send an email message to us at servicedesk@oag.texas.gov and in
the body of such request you must state: your previous e-mail address, your new e-mail address.
We do not require any other information from you to change your email address.
In addition, you must notify DocuSign, Inc. to arrange for your new email address to be reflected
in your DocuSign account by following the process for changing e-mail in the DocuSign system.
To request paper copies from Office of the Attorney General
To request delivery from us of paper copies of the notices and disclosures we previously
provided to you electronically, you must send us an e-mail to servicedesk@oag.texas.gov and in
the body of such request you must state your e-mail address, full name, US Postal address, and
telephone number. We will bill you for any fees at that time, if any.
To withdraw your consent with Office of the Attorney General
To inform us that you no longer want to receive future notices and disclosures in electronic
format you may:
i. decline to sign a document from within your DocuSign session, and on the subsequent
page, select the check -box indicating you wish to withdraw your consent, or you may;
ii. send us an e-mail to servicedesk@oag.texas.gov and in the body of such request you
must state your e-mail, full name, US Postal Address, and telephone number. We do not
need any other information from you to withdraw consent. The consequences of your
withdrawing consent for online documents will be that transactions may take longer time
to process.
