Acknowledging your Access, Intent, and Consent to Receive and Sign Materials Electronically To confirm that you can access this information electronically, which will be similar to other electronic notices and disclosures that we will provide to you, please verify that you were able to read this electronic disclosure and that you also were able to print on paper or electronically save this page for your future reference and access or that you were able to e-mail this disclosure and consent to an address where you will be able to print on paper or save it for your future reference and access. Further, if you consent to receive notices and disclosures exclusively in electronic format on the terms and conditions described above, please let us know by clicking the 'I agree' button below. By checking the 'I Agree' box, I confirm that:  I am establishing my intent to be bound to the transaction, and indicating that I am fully aware of the purpose for which the signature is being provided.  I can access and read this Electronic CONSENT TO ELECTRONIC RECEIPT OF ELECTRONIC RECORD AND SIGNATURE DISCLOSURES document; and  I can print on paper the disclosure or save or send the disclosure to a place where I can print it, for future reference and access; and  Until or unless I notify Pitkin County as described above, I consent to receive from exclusively through electronic means all notices, disclosures, authorizations, acknowledgments, and other documents that are required to be provided or made available to me by Pitkin County during the course of my relationship with you. Signing Documents without a Pitkin County DocuSign Account: Pitkin County may not require all document signers to be authorized users of the Pitkin County DocuSign Account. 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.

Signing Documents with a Pitkin County DocuSign Account: Electronic Record and Signature Disclosure created on: 3/20/2020 3:28:13 PM Parties agreed to: Liza Mitchell, Rea Orthner, Kara Silbernagel, Kim Arensdorf 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. Getting paper or electronic copies At any time, you may request from us a paper or electronic copy of any record provided or made available electronically to you by us. For such copies, as long as you are an authorized user of the DocuSign system you will have the ability to download and print any documents we send to you through your DocuSign user account 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 or electronic copies of any such documents from our office to you, you may be charged a per-page fee. You may request delivery of such paper or electronic copies from us by following the procedure described below. Withdrawing your consent If you are an authorized DocuSign Account holder, you can 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. Described below is the process for informing us of your decision to receive future notices and disclosure in paper format and also how to withdraw your consent to receive notices and disclosures electronically. 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 your DocuSign account. 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 your DocuSign user account 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 your DocuSign user account all required notices, disclosures, authorizations, acknowledgments, 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 format 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.
