(a) This part applies to persons who buy or sell securities from, in, or into this state, or who give or receive advice concerning the purchase or sale of securities from, in, or into this state.
(b) For the purpose of this section, a purchase or sale is made in this state, whether or not either party is then present in this state, when an offer to purchase or sell a security is accepted in this state.
(c) For the purpose of this section, an offer to buy or to sell is accepted in this state when acceptance is communicated to the offeror in this state and:
(1) Has not previously been communicated to the offeror, orally or in writing, outside this state; and
(2) Whether or not either party is then present in this state, when the offeree directs it to the offeror in this state reasonably believing the offeror to be in this state and it is received at the place to which it is directed (or at any post office in this state in the case of a mailed acceptance).
(d) Sections 48-2-109(c) and 48-2-121 apply when any act instrumental in effecting prohibited conduct is done in this state, whether or not either party is then present in this state.
(e) Every applicant for registration under this part and every issuer which proposes to offer a security in this state through any person acting on any agency basis in the common law sense shall file with the commissioner, in such form as the commissioner by rule prescribes, an irrevocable consent appointing the commissioner or the commissioner's successor in office to be the applicant's or issuer's attorney-in-fact to receive service of any lawful process in any noncriminal suit, action, or proceeding against the applicant or issuer or the applicant's or issuer's successor, executor, or administrator, which arises under this part or any rule or order hereunder after the consent has been filed, with the same force and validity as if served personally on the person filing the consent. A person who has filed such a consent in connection with a previous registration need not file another. Service may be made by leaving a copy of the process in the office of the commissioner, but it is not effective unless:

(f) When any person, including any nonresident of this state, engages in conduct prohibited or made actionable by this part or any rule or order hereunder, and has not filed a consent to service of process under subsection (e) and personal jurisdiction over the person cannot otherwise be obtained in this state, the conduct shall be considered equivalent to the appointment of the commissioner or the commissioner's successor in office to be such person's attorney-in-fact to receive service of any lawful process to the same extent as if such person had filed a consent to service of process under subsection (e).
(g) When process is served under this section, the court, or the commissioner in a proceeding before the commissioner, shall order such continuance as may be necessary to afford the defendant or respondent reasonable opportunity to defend.
(h) Pursuant to Section 6(c) of the Federal Philanthropy Protection Act of 1995, Public Law 104-62, the provisions of this part shall not be preempted.
