If we had stayed with them, and if I hadn’t kept a copy of the contract that I signed with them, they could have claimed that I signed a contract for much longer than one year.
They had removed the contract expiration date on their “official” copy of the contract. As part of the back and forth with canceling the new contract, the new company sent me a copy of the contract that I signed, and I noticed a small difference between what they sent me and the copy that I had kept after signing it. Our current waste removal company found out we were not going to renew, so they called and offered better terms and explained that if we extend our contract with them, it would supersede the new contract which I signed. We eventually decided to go with one of the other waste management companies, and I signed a one-year contract with them. Our condo association was stuck in one of these automatic renewals for a year, and as that extra contract year came to an end, we shopped around for a better deal. Buried in the fine print is an explanation that the contract will automatically renew at a rate specified by the waste management company (which ends up being much higher than the original rate), and that canceling the automatic renewal must be done within a short time window that ends a month before the original three-year contract expires (probably to increase the chance that this is overlooked by the homeowner). The customer agrees to the rate and signs the contract. Here’s one way how this is done: The contract is set up with a negotiated rate for three years. These contracts are frequently structured in a way that causes homeowners to overpay. In Chicago, the city handles waste removal (trash pickup) for buildings with four units or less, and larger properties are required to contract with a private waste management company. Let’s look at an example.īack in 2011, I lived in a Chicago condominium building which had six units. Digital signatures serve a similar function as physical signatures, but they also provide additional benefits which physical signatures do not. FileMaker 18 introduces two new cryptographic functions which can be used to generate and verify digital signatures:ĬryptGenerateSignature ( data algorithm privateRSAKey keyPassword )ĬryptVerifySignature ( data algorithm publicRSAKey signature )ĭigital signatures are a digital analog to good old-fashioned physical signatures which we’re all familiar with.
