Common use of Personal Identification Number Clause in Contracts

Personal Identification Number. Seller shall adopt a Personal Identification Number or PIN to be entered into the computer system in connection with all documents transmitted from Seller to Buyer electronically. Further, any document required to be signed by Seller may be signed by handwritten signature or transmitted electronically in conjunction with the PIN, except any written notification designating or changing the PIN and those documents required to be delivered pursuant to Section 7.1(a) above, which must be signed by hand. Seller shall provide Buyer with written notification of its PIN and any changes thereto; provided, however, that any change to the PIN may not become effective for twenty four (24) hours following Buyer’s confirmation of receipt of such notice by Seller. Seller and Buyer agree that transmitting a document in conjunction with the PIN shall have the same force and effect as a handwritten signature and shall be sufficient to verify that Seller originated such document. Seller shall employ security procedures to ensure that all transmissions of documents accompanied by the PIN are authorized, authentic, reliable and complete and shall promptly notify Buyer if Seller discovers the PIN has been improperly disclosed to any Person. Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other breach of security, Buyer shall be entitled to rely upon the PIN of Seller until such time as (a) Seller provides Buyer with written instructions to the contrary and (b) Buyer has sufficient time to notify the appropriate employees and modify its computerized systems.
