6. general conditions for electronic communication with the Stadtmarketing- und Wirtschaftsförderungsgesellschaft Dormagen mbH.

You are welcome to send the Stadtmarketing- und Wirtschaftsförderungsgesellschaft Dormagen mbH your questions, suggestions, concerns or appointment requests online. Thereby you are offered different possibilities for electronic communication with the city administration. Since there are various possibilities, formats and technical standards, the current organizational and technical framework conditions are presented below. Basically, a distinction is made between simple informal letters and form-related letters that require a handwritten signature in paper form (for example, objections and many applications). There are also differences in electronic transmission, which we would like to explain to you below:

6.1 Opening access for electronic communication

The Stadtmarketing- und Wirtschaftsförderungsgesellschaft Dormagen mbH offers you the possibility of electronic communication according to § 3 of the law for the promotion of electronic administration in North Rhine-Westphalia (E-Government Law North Rhine-Westphalia - EGovG NRW). For administrative procedures, electronic communication is governed by Section 3a of the Administrative Procedure Act for the State of North Rhine-Westphalia (VwVfG NRW), Section 36 a of the Social Code - General Part - [SGB I] and Section 12 (1) No. 3 (a) of the Municipal Tax Act for the State of North Rhine-Westphalia [KAG NRW] in conjunction with Section 87 a of the Tax Code [AO]). Accordingly, the transmission of electronic documents is permissible insofar as the recipient has opened access for this purpose. According to general principles and §§ 126a and 126b of the German Civil Code (BGB), the same applies in private law. A basic distinction is made between form-free transactions and form-bound transactions for which the relevant law prescribes a specific form (for example, written form with a handwritten signature). With the establishment of a virtual mailroom (VPS) and a central DE-Mail entry address, the Stadtmarketing- und Wirtschaftsförderungsgesellschaft Dormagen mbH offers you the possibility of legally binding electronic communication for form-bound processes. The Stadtmarketing- und Wirtschaftsförderungsgesellschaft Dormagen mbH opens this access to electronic communication in accordance with the general conditions listed below, which apply exclusively to communication with the city administration.

6.2 Principles of electronic communication

6.2.1 Simple informal transactions a. No qualified digital signature is required for transactions or inquiries that do not require a handwritten signature. They can still be sent simply by e-mail to any of the e-mail addresses listed on www.swd-dormagen.de or on SWD letterheads. Online forms can also be used for simple informal transactions. However, e-mails, like postcards, are readable by any hacker on the transmission route across the Internet and can also be changed in principle. The use of online forms is recommended because, unlike simple e-mails, the data entered is transmitted to the SWD in encrypted form. a. Central e-mail address The central e-mail address stadtverwaltung@stadt-dormagen.de has been set up for form-free electronic communication by e-mail. In addition, you will find further e-mail addresses of municipal organizational units and departments on the website. Sending electronic messages from the staff member's personal mailbox opens access for this current process for this mailbox as well. Please do not send the SWD electronic messages whose actual content must first be retrieved or downloaded via a link from an Internet site. These messages, often referred to as "registered mail by e-mail," are not retrieved by the SWD for security reasons. Furthermore, a "registered letter by e-mail" does not constitute a legally binding delivery; it is not equivalent to delivery by the post office by registered letter.

6.2.2 File formats

There are hundreds of programs and file formats. The most common programs are in use at SWD and therefore your files can usually be opened and read. The following file attachments are not permitted [insert attachment]. If you send the SWD e-mails with these inadmissible file attachments, they will be deleted unread. E-mails with commercial intentions (SPAM e-mails) will be filtered. If your e-mails contain viruses, these e-mails will be completely deleted by the virus protection programs used by the SWD. Since SWD unfortunately cannot distinguish whether such an e-mail was a hacker attack or you have caught an annoying virus and probably do not know it yourself, you will not receive a message about the deletion.

The following file formats are inadmissible for data transmission:
