DOUBLE TAXATION AGREEMENT is not liable for any harm or loss resulting from malicious software code or viruses in this e-mail or its attachments, including data corruption resulting there from. Any advice or information contained in this e-mail is subject also to any governing agreement between us. Only a director, partner, the chief executive officer, the chief financial officer, a senior manager, a divisional managing director or divisional financial director of DOUBLE TAXATION AGREEMENT or an individual expressly authorised in writing by any of the aforementioned capacities for a specific transaction AND for a determinable period, acting within the scope of their authority, is able to bind DOUBLE TAXATION AGREEMENT contractually. A general authority granted in terms of a delegation of authority or resolution or any other similar document shall not confer the required authority to bind DOUBLE TAXATION AGREEMENT unless specifically stated otherwise.
Unless expressly indicated as such, nothing in this e-mail constitutes an offer, warranty or representation from DOUBLE TAXATION AGREEMENT. DOUBLE TAXATION AGREEMENT expressly contracts out of sections 22 – 26 of the Electronic Communications and Transactions Act (25 of 2002) (“ECTA”). No electronic communication including any data message such as an e-mail or SMS, sent or received will give rise to a binding legal transaction. All legal transactions which are to be entered into with DOUBLE TAXATION AGREEMENT must be concluded in accordance with DOUBLE TAXATION AGREEMENT ’s standard contract policy. DOUBLE TAXATION AGREEMENT shall not be liable if any variation is effected to any document or correspondence emailed unless that variation has been approved in writing and signed by an authorised company representative.

In accordance with the ECTA, an e-mail is only deemed to be received by DOUBLE TAXATION AGREEMENT once DOUBLE TAXATION AGREEMENT acknowledges receipt thereof. DOUBLE TAXATION AGREEMENT will be deemed to have sent an e-mail once reflected as sent on DOUBLE TAXATION AGREEMENT ’s e-mail server. An auto-reply shall not constitute a response for the purposes hereof. If this electronic message contains offensive, derogatory or defamatory statements or materials, it means the message has been sent outside the sender’s scope of employment with DOUBLE TAXATION AGREEMENT and only the sender can be held liable in his/her personal capacity.
