  2. I will meet all hardware and software requirements promulgated by the Court for system use. I understand that the current minimum requirements for filing documents are: a personal computer running a standard platform (Windows, Mac OS, Linux), an Internet provider, Adobe Acrobat Exchange 3.01 or higher [to convert word processor format documents to portable document format (.pdf)] and a document scanner. [CM/ECF has been tested and works correctly with Firefox 2.0 and Internet Explorer 6.0 and 7.0.]
  3. Each use of my password for filing documents will meet the requirements of Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11, Federal Rule of Bankruptcy Procedure 9011 and Local Rule of Bankruptcy Procedure 9011-1
  4. The use of my password constitutes my signature on the documents being submitted. If I submit a document for another party, it is my responsibility to maintain a copy of that document bearing the signer's signature in my records.
  5. The issuance of a password to me constitutes a waiver of conventional service pursuant to Local Bankruptcy Rule 5005-2 and the Procedures for the Filing, Signing, and Verification of Documents by Electronic Means.

  6. Notwithstanding #5 herein, with respect to service of documents filed electronically which require service to be made on the United States and its agencies, corporations or officers, I will fully comply with Rules 2002(j) and 7004(b)(4), (5) and (6) of the Federal Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure and Rule 4(I) and (j) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure.
