A form of consent is accessible at: www.westfax.com/documents/AuthorizationToProduceDocumentationAndRecords.pdf

All subpoenas must be served on Westfax, Inc. at 10465 Park Meadows Drive, Suite 200, Lone Tree, CO 80124 USA, prior to any response. Certified mail constitutes a method of service. Westfax reserves the right to request a copy of the complaint and any supporting documentation that demonstrates how the requested documents and information relate to the litigation. Upon receipt of a valid subpoena, Westfax may notify the customer whose documents and information is sought and allow the customer a reasonable period of time to move to quash the subpoena.

The Electronic Communications Privacy Act prohibits Westfax from disclosing the content of electronic communications pursuant to a civil subpoena. To obtain such content you may wish to contact or serve the customer who has custody and control of such documents and information relating to the account.

Subject to the above, upon receipt of such a request, Westfax will conduct a search for documents and information accessible on its system that are responsive to the request. Westfax only keeps customers’ documents and information for a limited period of time. After the search is complete, Westfax will send the person requesting the documents and information the results of the search. Westfax reserves the right to send the results of the search to its customer who may then be compelled to produce them to person requesting the documents and information. To the extent any document located during the search process contains information restricted by law, exceeds the scope of the written request or is otherwise not subject to production, it will be redacted or removed.

Westfax will require a minimum $250.00 reimbursement for the reasonable costs incurred in processing written requests and responding to subpoenas for documents and information. Checks should be made payable to Westfax, Inc. Westfax reserves the right to object to any written requests or subpoenas that are vague, overly broad or involve an undue burden. Westfax objects and exercises and retains its rights by objecting to any information it does have or provide.

The Telephone Consumer Protection Act provides that the sender is solely liable for opt-out notice compliance and violations. A Customer may, however, voluntarily elect to retain a third party to accept opt out requests. This is an ancillary service, is done automatically and is free of charge. The Telephone Consumer Protection Act provides that the third party need only accept and forward do-not-fax requests and is not advising, involved, responsible or liable to the Customer or any other party for such services.
