(ii)by other means but in a form that requires the use of apparatus by the recipient to render it intelligible.
(2)The transmission has effect for the purposes of section 109 as a delivery of the notice or other document to the recipient, but only if the recipient has indicated to the person making the transmission (“the sender”) a willingness to receive the notice or other document in the form and manner used.
(3)An indication to the sender for the purposes of subsection (2)—
(a)must be given to the sender in such manner as the sender may require,

(e)may be modified or withdrawn at any time by a notice given to the sender in such manner as the sender may require.
