§ 2137.03.
(A) A user may use an online tool to direct the custodian to disclose or not to disclose
to a designated recipient some or all of the user's digital assets, including the
content of electronic communications. If the online tool allows the user to modify or delete a direction at all times,
a direction regarding disclosure using an online tool overrides a contrary direction
by the user in a will, trust, power of attorney, or other record. (B) If a user has not used an online tool to give direction under division (A) of this
section, or if the custodian has not provided an online tool, the user may allow or
prohibit in a will, trust, power of attorney, or other record, disclosure to a fiduciary
of some or all of the user's digital assets, including the content of electronic communications
sent or received by the user. (C) A user's direction under division (A) or (B) of this section overrides a contrary
provision in a terms-of-service agreement that does not require the user to act affirmatively
and distinctly from the user's assent to the terms of service.
