The acceptance or the service by the management person shall be deemed to be signification of the consent of the management person that any process so served has the same legal force and validity as if served upon the management person within this State.
2. Service of process must be effected by serving the registered agent with a true copy in the manner provided by law for service of process. In addition, the party serving the registered agent shall, within 7 days after such service, send by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, copies of the documents served upon the registered agent, together with a statement that service is being made pursuant to this section, addressed to the management person at the address as it appears on the records of the Secretary of State, or if no such address appears, at the address last known to the serving party.
3. The appointment of the registered agent is irrevocable. If any entity or management person fails to appoint a registered agent, or fails to file a statement of change of registered agent pursuant to NRS 77.340 before the effective date of a vacancy in the agency pursuant to NRS 77.330 or 77.370 , on the production of a certificate of the Secretary of State showing either fact, which is conclusive evidence of the fact so certified to be made a part of the return of service, or if the street address of the registered agent of the entity is not staffed as required pursuant to NRS 14.020 , which fact is to be made part of the return of service, the management person may be served with any and all legal process, or a demand or notice described in NRS 14.020 , by delivering a copy to the Secretary of State or, in the absence of the Secretary of State, to any deputy secretary of state, and such service is valid to all intents and purposes.

6. Service pursuant to subsection 3 provides an additional manner of serving process, and does not affect the validity of any other valid service.
7. In any action in which any management person has been served with process pursuant to subsection 2, the time in which a defendant is required to appear and file a responsive pleading must be computed from the date of mailing by the serving party. The court may grant an extension of time as may be necessary to afford the management person reasonable opportunity to defend the action.
8. In a charter or other writing, a management person or owner of any entity may consent to be subject to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of the courts of, or arbitration in, a specified jurisdiction, or the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of this State, or the exclusivity of arbitration in a specified jurisdiction or this State, and to be served with process in the manner prescribed in the charter or other writing. Notwithstanding any other provision of this subsection, except by agreeing to arbitrate any arbitrable matter in a specified jurisdiction or in this State, an owner of an entity who is not a management person may not waive its right to maintain a legal action or proceeding in the courts of this State with respect to matters relating to the organization or internal affairs of an entity. Without limiting or affecting the enforceability under the laws of this State governing corporations of any consent or agreement by a management person or stockholder of a corporation, this subsection does not apply to an entity which is a corporation.
