Before any license for an itinerant vendor, as herein provided, shall be issued, such applicant shall file with the town an instrument nominating and appointing the town clerk his true and lawful agent, with full power and authority to acknowledge service of notice of process for and on behalf of the applicant in respect to any matters connected with or arising out of the business transaction under the license and the bond given as required by this chapter, or for the performance of the conditions of the bond or for any breach thereof. The instrument shall also contain recitals to the effect that the applicant for the license consents and agrees that service of any notices or process may be made upon the agent and when so made shall be taken and held to be as valid as if personally served on the person or persons applying for the license under this chapter, according to the laws of the state or any other state and waiving all claims or right of error by reason of such acknowledgement of service or manner of service. Immediately upon service of process upon the town clerk, as herein provided, the town clerk shall send to the licensee at his last known address, by certified mail, a copy of the notice. (1998 Code)
