Consent is deemed revoked if the party giving notice is unable to electronically transmit two consecutive notices given in accordance with the consent.
(2) Proof of the service, mailing, or electronic delivery required in this section must be made by affidavit or declaration filed at or before the hearing.
(3) For the purposes of this title, the terms "electronic transmission" and "electronically transmitted" have the same meaning as set forth in RCW 23B.01.400.
