(2) In a case to which this paragraph applies, and except where a contrary intention appears, the person making the application or claim is taken to have agreed—

(a) to the use of electronic communications for all purposes relating to the application or claim (as the case may be) which are capable of being effected using such communications;

(b) that the address for the purpose of such communications is the address incorporated into, or otherwise logically associated with, the application or claim;
