Electronic Communication Consent

Electronic Communication Consent

We want to provide you with communications electronically. Certain laws and regulations require us to provide communications to you “in writing,” which means you may be entitled to receive the information on paper. The E-SIGN Act allows us to provide you communications electronically and to conduct transactions with you electronically, with your consent.

‍

Please read this Electronic Communication Consent (the “Consent”) carefully prior to providing us with your consent. This Consent describes how we deliver and receive communications to and from you electronically and asks you to consent to use electronic records and signatures in our relationship with you. If you do not agree to this Consent or you later withdraw your consent provided herein, you may not be able to continue to use our services.

‍

‍

“You” and “your” mean the applicant, account owner and anyone else with access to the account.

‍

“Communication” means each application, agreement, disclosure, notice, fee schedule, response to claims, statement, privacy policy, record, document and other information related to your account or to any Product, or that you sign, submit or agree to at our request.

‍

“Product” means each and every account, product or service we offer or will offer.

The words “include” and “including,” when used at the beginning of a list of one or more items, indicates that the list contains examples and is not exclusive or exhaustive, and the items in the list are only illustrations.

‍

Scope of Communications to be Provided in Electronic Form.

This Consent applies to all Communications and Products. By applying for or using a Product, you agree that any Communications will be provided in electronic format, to the extent allowed by law, and that paper Communications will not be sent. Your consent to receive electronic Communications and transactions includes, but is not limited to:

‍

• All legal and regulatory disclosures and communications associated with the Product
• The Account Terms, including any amendments thereto, and any and all agreements by and between you and us that relate to a Product;
• Privacy policies and notices;
• Responses to claims filed in connection with a Product;
• Statements, receipts, payment authorizations, transaction history, or other documents related to a Product; and
• All other communications between us and your concerning the Product and any related transactions, products or services.

Sometimes the law, or our agreement with you, requires you to give us a written notice. You must still provide these notices to us on paper, unless we specifically tell you in another Communication how you may deliver that notice to us electronically.

‍

We reserve the right, at our sole discretion, to discontinue the provision of electronic Communications, or to terminate or change the terms and conditions of this Consent. We will provide you with notice of any such termination or change as required by law.

‍

Method of Providing Communications in Electronic Form.

All Communications that we provide in electronic form will be provided either (1) by e-mail, (2) by text message or SMS messaging, (3) by access to a website, (4) through any mobile application we may make available, (5) to the extent permitted by law, by access to a website generally designated in advance for such purpose, or (6) in the manner specified in any other agreement we or our affiliates have with you.

‍

If you seek to obtain a new product, service or account with us, we may remind you that you have already consented to receiving electronic Communications and using electronic signatures in your relationship with us.

‍

Continuing to use our Products after receiving updates to our system requirements signifies your acceptance of the change and reaffirmation of your consent.

There may be a fee associated with the request for the delivery of paper copies of any Communication provided electronically pursuant to this Consent.
