An electronic document sent or issued by an institution in conformity with this Agreement by one Participant may not be rejected by any authority or institution of the other Participant on the grounds that it was received by electronic means, once the receiving institution has declared that it can receive electronic documents. Reproduction and recording of such documents shall be presumed to be a correct and accurate reproduction of the original document or representation of the information it relates to, unless there is proof to the contrary.
