The Seller’s Electronic Signature includes, but is not necessarily limited to, the process or action of "clicking on" such designated items, icons or buttons. (b) System security Without limiting the provisions of Chapter 2401, Freddie Mac, in its sole discretion, will provide Sellers, Document Custodians and Warehouse Lenders with, or require Sellers, Document Custodians and Warehouse Lenders to create, user IDs, passwords, personal identification numbers and/or access codes, as applicable, to permit secure access to Loan Selling Advisor®. Sellers, Document Custodians and Warehouse Lenders must adopt security Freddie Mac Single-Family Seller/Servicer Guide Chapter 2403 As of 12/17/25 Page 2403-8 measures in accordance with Sections 1302.2, 1401.2(c), 1401.2(d), 2401.1 and 2403.2(a)(vii), as applicable.

Although Freddie Mac reserves the right to verify the information relating to any new authorized user identified, neither the Seller, Document Custodian nor Warehouse Lender may consider our failure to do so an act of negligence. (c) Access to copies of transaction records The Seller acknowledges and agrees that its ongoing access to copies of Records and Electronic Records related to any Electronic Transactions, as those terms are defined in Chapter 1401, conducted by the Seller using Loan Selling Advisor® will be: ■ Paper copies the Seller prints out using the Seller’s computer print capabilities and its printer; or ■ Electronic copies the Seller is able to download to its computer or copy to a disk Accordingly, the Seller assumes responsibility for obtaining and retaining copies of any such Records and Electronic Records for the Seller’s future reference.
