58-47-13. Notice and correspondence requirements. Whenever notice or correspondence with respect to a policy of portable electronics insurance is required, it shall be in writing and sent within the notice period, if any, specified within the statute or regulation requiring the notice or correspondence. Notwithstanding any other provision of law, notices and correspondence may be sent either by mail or by electronic means. If the notice or correspondence is mailed, it shall be sent to the vendor of portable electronics at the vendor's mailing address specified for that purpose and to its affected enrolled customers' last known mailing addresses on file with the insurer. Either the insurer or vendor of portable electronics shall maintain proof of mailing in a form authorized or accepted by the United States Postal Service or other commercial mail delivery service. If the notice or correspondence is sent by electronic means, it shall be sent to the vendor of portable electronics at the vendor's electronic mail address specified for that purpose and to its affected enrolled customers' last known electronic mail address as provided by each enrolled customer to the insurer or vendor of portable electronics. An enrolled customer's provision of an electronic mail address to the insurer or vendor of portable electronics is deemed consent to receive notices and correspondence by electronic means as long as a disclosure is provided to the customer at the time the electronic mail address is provided indicating the same. The insurer or vendor of portable electronics shall maintain proof that the notice or correspondence was sent. Notice or correspondence may be sent on behalf of an insurer or vendor, by the supervising entity appointed by the insurer.
