Common use of E-Mail Communications Clause in Contracts

E-Mail Communications. DRC and the Client and its agents acknowledge that they may wish to communicate electronically with each other at a business e-mail address. However, the electronic transmission of information cannot be guaranteed to be secure or error free and such information could be intercepted, corrupted, lost, destroyed, arrive late or incomplete or otherwise be adversely affected or unsafe to use. Accordingly, each party agrees to use commercially reasonable procedures to check for the then most commonly known viruses and to check the integrity of data before sending information to the other electronically, but each party recognizes that such procedures cannot be a guarantee that transmissions will be virus-free. It remains the responsibility of the party receiving an electronic communication from the other to carry out a virus check on any attachments before launching any documents, whether received on disk or otherwise.
