Timeliness of Submissions. (1) A required mailing sent by a Settlement Class Member shall be considered timely pursuant to this Agreement if the mailing is sent by U.S. Mail and postmarked before the applicable deadline or emailed/faxed and received by the applicable deadline. Notwithstanding this requirement, if a Settlement Class Member fails to send a required form by U.S. Mail, email or facsimile, then the form will not be considered valid unless actually received by the Claims Administrator before the applicable deadline.
Timeliness of Submissions. All submissions by Claimants to the Claims Administrator relating to a Claim shall be made electronically via the Settlement website or in paper form transmitted via regular first class mail or delivery by courier. All electronic submissions shall be conclusively deemed to have been submitted to the Claims Administrator upon transmission. All submissions by mail shall be conclusively deemed to have been submitted to the Claims Administrator on the postmark date of such mail. All submissions delivered to the Claims Administrator by overnight or other courier shall be conclusively deemed to have been submitted to the Claims Administrator on the date the submissions were deposited with the overnight or other courier. These provisions shall determine the timeliness of any submissions to the Claims Administrator. Submissions to the Claims Administrator by any other means, including without limitation, facsimile or electronic mail, shall not be considered timely unless such materials are also submitted to the Claims Administrator electronically via the Settlement website or via mail or courier delivery by the Claim Deadline.
