I think RMail is a better alternative
[to certified mail]. It’s never a mistake in my mind to send out a lien notice by
RPost Registered Email service as and its absolutely required by statute that you
have this receipt or other proof of
delivery. The nice thing about the RPost receipt is its automated…and legally the
nice thing about it is that you have
independent third party verification of the delivery…you’ve got this third party who
is not involved in your dispute who
can attest to the delivery. It really is a great way to be sending things because of
the independent third-party proof.

The Power of Proof
When tenant deadlines need to be met or when disputes arise concerning “who said what when,”
proof matters. Property
manager and self storage operators all sizes use RMail for business-critical communication with
tenants and their
representatives — knowing that RMail provides all the proof they need. With RMail’s Registered
Receipt™ email record,
you’ll get certified evidence of compliance with every RMail message you send, proving delivery,
time of delivery, and
exact message content. RMail complies with privacy rules governing transport of Personally
Identifiable Information
(PII), while cutting costs and improving client satisfaction. The Registered Receipt™ record
provides court-admissible
evidence of delivery and is considered an acceptable form of notice as defined by regulators.
Using the Registered Email™ service
has been a complete game changer for us. They open it, we know they got it. It’s
quick, and it’s easy. It’s been wonderful.
Casey Evans
Manager, Watkinsville Storage
We’ve been very happy with our
partnership with RPost RSign and we look forward to continuing that partnership here
in
the future as we’re tackling a very important part of the business that has become a
lot more important here over the
last 7 or 8 months.

“On the occasions when there are issues with customers claiming non-receipt, all legal has to do
is make one phone call
to the automation center where they can easily track down the RMail verification in seconds.”
Jeff O’Donnell, CIO, Life Storage
“We had a customer who threatened a lawsuit because he swore he never received a lien notice.
Because of RPost’s
Registered Receipt™, we were easily able to show him not only did we send it, but also, that it
was successfully
delivered and that he’d opened it. He quickly withdrew his legal threats of action.”
Joe Delgado, Burlington Self-Storage
“Cost savings is the biggest benefit, but we also benefit from the simplicity of sending RMail
Registered Email messages
and the absoluteness of proof of delivery.”
Jim Mooney Jr., VP – Operations,Devon Self Storage

Locke Lord Bissell and Liddell LLP published a detailed legal analysis
(available from RPost upon request) that maps the Registered Email™ technology to electronic
commerce law and opines
that the Registered Email technology satisfies seven key legal principles important to yield a
legally valid and court
admissible piece of evidence that has high evidential weight. In brief, the legal analysis
opines that the Registered
Email technology:
-
DELIVERY PROOF:Provides a record of sending and receiving in accordance
with the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act (UETA) by
recording the recipient’s server’s receipt;
-
CONTENT PROOF:Uses cryptographic techniques to mathematically associate and
preserve as tamper-detectable the contents of email and
their attachments so as to satisfy process requirements designed under UETA, the Electronic
Signatures in Global and
National Commerce Act (ESIGN), and in evidence law to establish evidence of content;
-
OFFICIAL TIME STAMP:Links to a trusted and objective time source providing
essential and credible evidence in disputes in which the time an
email was sent or received is material to the case;
-
ADMISSIBLE EVIDENCE:Produces records that are court-admissible as to their
fact of delivery, as to their legal time of delivery and as to
authenticity of content;
-
FUNCTIONAL EQUIVALENCE:Serves, under the Uniform Electronic Transactions
Act (UETA) and the Electronic Signatures in Global and National
Commerce Act (ESIGN), as the functional equivalent of paper mail, to be used in lieu of
certified mail, registered mail,
return receipt mail, private express mail services and similar types of paper mail services;
-
ELECTRONIC ORIGINAL:Provides a true electronic original of the message
content, message attachments, and transmission meta-data including
the delivery audit trail; and
-
CONSENT:Records consent, as under electronic law the recipient of the
electronic transmission must have consented to the use of
electronic format as opposed to paper; with a record of the recipient’s consent retained as
a reproducible legal record
to prove consent if challenged.
