Legal Fax Document

LEGAL FAX TRANSMISSION AGREEMENT

This Fax Transmission Agreement (the Agreement) is made and entered into as of by and between Sender Name: with principal address: (the "Sender"), and Recipient Name: with principal address: (the "Recipient").

RECITALS

WHEREAS, the Sender and Recipient desire to transmit and receive documents by facsimile in connection with legal matters and business dealings between them; and

WHEREAS, the parties wish to establish agreed procedures, warranties, and limitations applicable to the fax transmission of documents, including privileged and confidential materials; and

WHEREAS, the parties intend that facsimile transmission pursuant to this Agreement shall constitute an authorized method of delivery for legal notices, filings, and confidential communications where permitted by applicable law and the parties' internal policies.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants contained herein, the parties hereby agree as follows:

1. DEFINITIONS

For purposes of this Agreement, the following terms have the meanings set forth below: "Confidential Information" means information or documents clearly designated as confidential or reasonably understood to be confidential; "Privileged Material" means communications protected by attorney-client privilege, work product doctrine, or similar protections.

2. AUTHORIZATION TO TRANSMIT

The Sender is authorized to transmit to the Recipient, and the Recipient is authorized to accept from the Sender, documents by facsimile at the fax number(s) specified in Section 4. Such authorization constitutes the parties' express consent to use fax transmission as a method of delivery for documents that would otherwise be delivered in hard copy, subject to the terms of this Agreement.

3. CONFIDENTIALITY AND PRIVILEGE

Each party shall treat all transmitted material that is marked "Confidential" or "Privileged" as Confidential Information. The Recipient shall use at least the same degree of care to protect such materials as it uses to protect its own confidential materials, but not less than a reasonable standard of care. Transmission of Privileged Material shall not be deemed a waiver of privilege provided the recipient promptly notifies the sender if privilege is inadvertently compromised and agrees to take commercially reasonable steps to remedy any breach.

4. TRANSMISSION COVER DATA

Confidential/Privileged For Review For Signature Copy Only

5. TRANSMISSION PROCEDURES; CONFIRMATION

The Sender shall take reasonable steps to ensure accurate addressing and legibility. The Sender shall attempt retransmission promptly if a transmission error is indicated. Confirmation of transmission by a sending device shall create a rebuttable presumption that the transmission occurred to the fax number identified, but shall not, standing alone, constitute proof of delivery to an individual recipient or department.

6. LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY

Except for willful misconduct or gross negligence, neither party shall be liable to the other for incidental, special, or consequential damages arising from transmission errors, delays, or failures. Each party's aggregate liability for direct damages arising out of or related to the Agreement shall not exceed the reasonable documented costs actually incurred by the claiming party in connection with the specific transmission at issue.

7. INDEMNIFICATION

Each party shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the other party from and against any third-party claims, liabilities, losses, and expenses arising from the indemnifying party's breach of this Agreement, negligence, or intentional misconduct in connection with fax transmissions.

8. RECORD RETENTION

Each party shall maintain reasonable records of transmissions (including time, date, recipient fax number, and number of pages) for a minimum of one year, or longer if required by applicable law, and shall make such records available to the other party upon reasonable request to resolve disputes relating to transmission.

9. NOTICES

Any notice required or permitted under this Agreement shall be in writing and delivered by hand, certified mail, overnight courier, or facsimile with confirmation to the contact information set forth in Section 4. Transmission by fax in accordance with Section 4 shall be effective upon transmission confirmed by the sender's transmitting equipment, provided that a duplicate copy of any such notice is mailed or sent by overnight courier within one business day.

10. GOVERNING LAW; JURISDICTION

This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws specified by the parties below. The parties hereby submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in the selected jurisdiction for resolution of disputes arising under or relating to this Agreement.

11. ENTIRE AGREEMENT; SEVERABILITY; AMENDMENT; WAIVER; COUNTERPARTS

This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties with respect to its subject matter and supersedes all prior understandings. If any provision is held invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect. No amendment shall be effective unless in writing and signed by both parties. No waiver by either party of any breach shall constitute a waiver of any subsequent breach. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, and facsimile or electronic signatures shall be binding.

12. CERTIFICATION OF TRANSMISSION

The Sender certifies that the foregoing information regarding transmission is true and correct to the best of the Sender's knowledge and that the Sender transmitted the documents in good faith and in accordance with this Agreement. If transmission of Privileged Material is alleged to have been inadvertent, the Sender shall notify the Recipient immediately and may request return or destruction of such materials subject to the Recipient's obligation to confirm compliance.
