NAC720.500. Certification of authority of person requesting certificate.

     1. Except as otherwise provided in NAC 720.610, by requesting the issuance of a certificate as an agent of the subscriber to be identified in the certificate, the person requesting the certificate certifies to all persons who reasonably rely on the information contained in the certificate that he or she has the legal authority to:

     (a) Apply for the issuance of the certificate; and

     (b) Sign digitally on behalf of the subscriber and that, if this authority is limited in any way, adequate safeguards exist to prevent the creation of a digital signature that exceeds the limitations on his or her authority.

     2. No person may waive, disclaim or otherwise limit by agreement or obtain indemnity from the provisions of this section in such a manner as to limit his or her liability for any misrepresentation of fact to any person who reasonably relies on a certificate.
