Unless otherwise provided by law or contract, the recipient of a digital signature assumes the
risk that a digital signature is forged, if reliance on the digital signature is not reasonable under the
circumstances. If the recipient determines not to rely on a digital signature under this section, the
recipient must promptly notify the signer of any determination not to rely on a digital signature and
the grounds for that determination. Nothing in this chapter shall be construed to obligate a person
to accept a digital signature or to respond to an electronic message containing a digital signature.
