For a binding sale to occur, the developer must comply with section 514B-86, HRS. That section notes what documents must be provided to a purchaser in paper. Of those documents, if a “prospective purchaser, or purchaser [indicates] in a separate writing their election to receive the required condominium’s declaration, bylaws, house rules, if any, letter-sized condominium map, and all amendments through means of a computer disc, e-mail, download from an internet site, or by any other means contemplated by chapter 489E.”

Note that this section explicitly omits the developer’s public report from being allowed to be delivered by an electronic means and therefore the developer must provide a printed copy of the developer’s public report to a prospective purchaser or purchaser.
