Agreement

By submitting this Electronic Filing System Registration Form and User Agreement, I agree to abide by the following:

a.	I, the limited filer, agree that a filing made with my judiciary login and password constitutes my signature for all purposes, including the Federal Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure and the local rules of this court, and shall have the same force and effect as if I had affixed my signature on a paper document being filed. Signatures will be indicated by "/s/" and the typed name of the person signing in the following format: "/s/ Jane Smith" on the signature line.
b.	I agree to adhere to the local rules, orders, policies, and procedures governing electronic filing for the court. I understand that a limited filer's privileges are narrow in scope. I will only use CM/ECF to electronically file the following: Personal Financial Management Course Certificates. The court reserves the right to modify these options or add additional options as deemed necessary.
c.	I must pay any fees incurred for transactions made in CM/ECF in accordance with 28 U.S.C. § 1930 and the Bankruptcy Miscellaneous Fee Schedule.
d.	I agree to protect the security of my password.
e.	I will change my password through my CM/ECF account if I suspect it has been compromised, and will immediately notify the ourt. ourt.
f.	I agree to maintain my contact information (e.g., email address, mailing address, telephone number(s), and facsimile number.) All changes will be made by contacting the Eastern District of California Help Desk by e-Mail at caeb_helpdesk@caeb.uscourts.gov.
g.	I understand that electronically filed documents requiring original signatures from any person other than me must be maintained by me in paper form, bearing the original signatures, for no less than three (3) years following the closing of the case or proceeding in which the documents were filed. Upon the court's request, I must provide the original signed documents for review.
h.	I agree to comply with the redaction requirements, pursuant to Fed. R. Bankr. P. 9037. I understand that filers, and not the court, are solely responsible for redacting documents.
i.	I understand that using my limited filer privileges to monitor general activity in any case in which I have not filed a document is beyond the scope of my limited filer privileges. The limited filer account is intended to perform specified transactions, as set forth in paragraph 2. In order to view and retrieve electronic docket sheets and documents available in CM/ECF, I will use PACER or the courts' Really Simple Syndication (RSS) fee. [NOTE: A PACER login and password may be obtained from the PACER Service Center. Registration for a PACER account is available online at http://pacer.psc.uscourts.gov. For assistance, call 1-800-676-6856.]
j.	If the court determines that limited filers may receive service/notice electronically, then I expressly consent to service and notice by electronic means and other filing users in all cases, except with regard to service of a summons and complaint under Fed. R. Bank. P. 7004, a motion initiating a contested matter under Fed. R. Bankr. P. 9014, or a subpoena under Fed. R. Bankr. P. 9016.
k.	By contacting the court, I may request to terminate my status as a limited filer at any time. If I cease to be an employee or agent of an entity on whose behalf documents are being electronically filed, or for any other reason cease to be authorized to file electronically on behalf of said entity, I will promptly contact the court and request to terminate my filing privileges.
l.	I understand that, if I am a provider of post-petition instructional course concerning personal financial management and I am filing a certificate of the debtor's complete of the course, the certificate must be timely filed in accordance with Fed. R. Bankr. P. 1007(c). I understand that my limited filer privileges may be revoked if I do not file a certificate of a debtor's completion of the course in a timely manner, as failure to do so could result in the closing of the debtor's case without a discharge. I understand that, if my filing privileges are revoked by the court, the court will notify the Executive Office for U.S. Trustees of the revocation.
