§ CP.147.082. NOTICE

NOTICE. (a) Notice under Section 147.081 must: (1) identify the computer product or computer service product that manifests or may manifest a computer date failure; (2) explain how a cure or correction to the computer product or computer service product may be obtained; (3)(A) in the case of a recent consumer product, state that there is no additional charge for the cure or correction and state the amount that will be charged, if any, for delivering and installing the cure or correction, as authorized by Section 147.081 (b)(1); or (B) in the case of a product or service that is not a recent consumer product, state the amount that will be charged, if any, for the cure or correction, as authorized by Section 147.081 (b)(2); and (4) inform the recipient that the solution is offered to avoid harm to the recipient and that offering the cure or correction could affect the recipient's right to recover damages. (b) Notice under Section 147.081 must be received by the claimant before the beginning of the longer of the following periods: (1) the 90th day before the date the claimant suffers harm from the computer date failure; or (2) the time needed to order, deliver, and install the correction to the product or service before the claimant suffers harm from the computer date failure. (c) The defendant may satisfy the notice requirement under Section 147.081 by showing that: (1) the defendant delivered notice within the period provided by this section; or (2) the claimant actually received notice within the period provided by this section. (d) There is a rebuttable presumption that notice has been delivered to a claimant if the Year 2000 Project Office website or toll-free telephone number established under Section 147.083 (e) provides access to information from which a person may obtain the information required by this section relating to a cure or correction for the computer date failure. The presumption may be rebutted by credible evidence that the claimant did not receive notice. Added by Acts 1999, 76th Leg., ch. 128, Sec. 2, eff. May 19, 1999.
