(810 ILCS 5/12-105) (This Section may contain text from a Public Act with a delayed effective date) Sec. 12-105. Control of controllable electronic record. (a) General rule: control of controllable electronic record. A person has control of a controllable electronic record if the electronic record, a record attached to or logically associated with the electronic record, or a system in which the electronic record is recorded: (1) gives the person: (A) power to avail itself of substantially all the benefit from the electronic |
|
(B) exclusive power, subject to subsection (b), to:
(i) prevent others from availing themselves of substantially all the benefit
|
| from the electronic record; and
|
|
(ii) transfer control of the electronic record to another person or cause
|
| another person to obtain control of another controllable electronic record as a result of the transfer of the electronic record; and
|
|
(2) enables the person readily to identify itself in any way, including by name,
|
| identifying number, cryptographic key, office, or account number, as having the powers specified in paragraph (1).
|
|
(b) Meaning of exclusive. Subject to subsection (c), a power is exclusive under subsection (a)(1)(B)(i) and (ii) even if:
(1) the controllable electronic record, a record attached to or logically associated
|
| with the electronic record, or a system in which the electronic record is recorded limits the use of the electronic record or has a protocol programmed to cause a change, including a transfer or loss of control or a modification of benefits afforded by the electronic record; or
|
|
(2) the power is shared with another person.
(c) When power not shared with another person. A power of a person is not shared with another person under subsection (b)(2) and the person's power is not exclusive if:
(1) the person can exercise the power only if the power also is exercised by the other
|
|
(2) the other person:
(A) can exercise the power without exercise of the power by the person; or
(B) is the transferor to the person of an interest in the controllable electronic
|
| record or a controllable account or controllable payment intangible evidenced by the controllable electronic record.
|
|
(d) Presumption of exclusivity of certain powers. If a person has the powers specified in subsection (a)(1)(B)(i) and (ii), the powers are presumed to be exclusive.
(e) Control through another person. A person has control of a controllable electronic record if another person, other than the transferor to the person of an interest in the controllable electronic record or a controllable account or controllable payment intangible evidenced by the controllable electronic record:
(1) has control of the electronic record and acknowledges that it has control on behalf
|
|
(2) obtains control of the electronic record after having acknowledged that it will
|
| obtain control of the electronic record on behalf of the person.
|
|
(f) No requirement to acknowledge. A person that has control under this Section is not required to acknowledge that it has control on behalf of another person.
(g) No duties or confirmation. If a person acknowledges that it has or will obtain control on behalf of another person, unless the person otherwise agrees or law other than this Article or Article 9 otherwise provides, the person does not owe any duty to the other person and is not required to confirm the acknowledgment to any other person.
