uniform resource locator, as applicable. Each party shall be liable for the
acts or omissions of its Provider while transmitting, retrieving, receiving,
storing or handling Documents, or performing related activities, for such
party; provided, if both parties use the same Provider to effect the
transmission, retrieval and receipt of a Document, Sender shall be liable
for the acts or omissions of such Provider related to activities associated
with the transmission of the Document and Receiver shall be liable for the
acts or omissions of such Provider related to activities associated with the
retrieval and receipt of the Document. This provision does not limit any
claim of a party against any Provider in respect of any act or omission.
1.3. System Operations and Security Procedures. The equipment, software,
services and testing necessary to transmit, retrieve and receive Documents
shall be at each party's sole expense. Each party shall properly use those
security procedures set forth in the Appendix.
1.4. Digital Codes. Each party may adopt as its signature a digital
signature identification ("Digital Code") consisting of symbols or codes which
are to be affixed to or contained in the Document transmitted by such party
where required by the Standards or as may be otherwise agreed by the parties.
In cases where a Digital Code is required for a Document, the requirement
shall be specified in the applicable EDI Exhibit. Each party agrees that the
Digital Code of such party affixed to or contained in any Document shall be
sufficient to verify such party originated such Document. Neither party shall
disclose to any unauthorized person the Digital Code of the other party.
1.5. Keys. When the parties are utilizing the Internet electronic delivery
mechanism, each party shall maintain a "public key," an encryption algorithm
utilized to facilitate private electronic communication which may be changed
from time to time, all in accordance with this Section 1.5 and applicable
procedures set forth in the Appendix. Each party shall provide to the other
party its public key by either (a) a certified or receipted mail service using
a diskette with the public key contained in an ASCII text file, (b) an
electronic simple mail transfer protocol mail message with the public key
contained in the body, or (c) as otherwise agreed. The public key shall be
verified by the party to whom it is sent by validating the fingerprint of the
public key, which validation may be made by telephonic verification between
designated representatives of each party. As mutually agreed in the Appendix,
each party shall provide to the other party a written schedule of the
frequency it intends to change its public key. If a party desires to change
its public key at a time other than that scheduled, or does not desire to
change its public key as scheduled, such party shall provide at least five
business days prior written notice thereof to the other party; provided, under
emergency circumstances a prior written notice of one business day may be
given.
