Electronic record dispatch and receipt are determined by control, designated computer resources, retrieval, and deemed business locations.

Despatch occurs when an electronic record enters a computer resource outside the originator's control. Where the addressee has designated a computer resource, receipt occurs on entry into that resource; where the record is sent to another computer resource of the addressee, receipt occurs upon retrieval. Electronic records are deemed dispatched at the originator's place of business and received at the addressee's place of business, irrespective of the physical location of the computer resource.
