The NYS DOS may from time to time announce a schedule of the days and times during which the System will be available for receipt of electronic UCC documents; however, any such schedule will be subject to outages due to repairs, maintenance, emergencies, etc.
A UCC document submitted to the NYS DOS by the System is accepted for filing only after the System (1) receives an appropriate credit card confirmation from the credit card issuer and (2) analyzes the UCC document and determines that the UCC document (I) is readable by the System''s equipment and (ii) contains no error that constitutes a reason to reject the document under the applicable provisions of the Uniform Commercial Code.
When the NYS DOS accepts and files a UCC document submitted to the System, the NYS DOS will provide an electronic message to the filer to confirm such acceptance, and to confirm the date and time of filing. The message will appear on the filer''s computer screen. The filer is responsible for printing a copy of the message if the filer wishes to retain a hard copy of the message.
Please read and follow all e-Filing instructions completely. All UCC forms should be carefully completed; mistakes may have important legal consequences. If you have questions, consult your attorney. The filing office cannot give legal advice.
