# DeliveryMethods

Enumeration defining 5 named `DeliveryMethods` code value(s) used elsewhere in this library's data model.*

## Purpose
- Defines the fixed set of valid `DeliveryMethods` values referenced by dependent entities/properties.*

## Context
- Namespace: `SAIF.Data.Model.Policies.Certificates`
- Assembly/package: `SAIF.Data`

## Values
| Value | Purpose |
| --- | --- |
| `NotSet` | Named enumeration value `NotSet`.* |
| `Email` | Named enumeration value `Email`.* |
| `Fax` | Named enumeration value `Fax`.* |
| `Mail` | Named enumeration value `Mail`.* |
| `None` | Named enumeration value `None`.* |

## Behavioral notes
- Properties are typically declared `virtual` to support NHibernate lazy-loading proxies (see the corresponding mapping file under `Data/SAIF.Data.NHibernate`).*

## Constraints and usage notes
- No additional usage constraints beyond standard NHibernate entity/DTO conventions could be confirmed from static analysis.**

> **Note:** Statements marked with * were inferred from code structure, naming conventions, or contextual evidence where direct confirmation was not available in source artifacts. Statements marked with ** could not be confirmed; treat as unknown until verified.
