Introduction
As part of your relationship with us, we want to ensure you have all of the information you need to effectively manage your accounts. This E-SIGN Consent Agreement ("Agreement") allows us to provide you with electronic versions of important notices and documents associated with opening and managing an account with us. Certain laws and regulations require us to provide notices and disclosures to you in "writing" (traditionally this is defined as a paper notice); with your consent, the E-SIGN Act allows us to provide these documents to you electronically. We also need your general consent to use electronic records and signatures in our relationship with you. So, before you use our Electronic Services you must review and consent to the terms outlined below.
Definitions
The words "we,” “our” and “us” mean the lender encapsulated in the company logo above, its affiliates, successors, and assigns.
The words "you" and "your" mean each applicant, and borrower. If there is more than one borrower, then these words mean each borrower separately.
“Access Device” means any electronic device you use to access your account and view electronic documents. This includes but is not limited to a traditional computer such as a desktop or laptop computer; or a mobile device such as a tablet computer or a smartphone.
“Communications” means each disclosure, notice, agreement, fee schedule, statement, record, document, and other information we provide to you, or that you sign or submit or agree to at our request.
“Electronic Service" means each and every product and service we offer that you apply for, use, administer or access using the Internet, a website, email, messaging services (including text messaging) and/or software applications (including applications for mobile or hand-held devices), either now or in the future.
“Electronic Record" means a contract or other record created, generated, sent, communicated, received, or stored by electronic means.
“Our Product” means each and every account, product or service we offer that you apply for, own, use, administer or access, either now or in the future, including all Electronic Services.
Scope of this Agreement
Your consent covers all Communications relating to any of Our Products. Your consent remains in effect until you give us notice that you are withdrawing it.
From time to time, you may seek to obtain a new Product from us. If you do, we will require new consent to use Electronic Records and signatures for that new product or service. If you decide not to use Electronic Records and signatures in connection with the new product or service, your decision does not mean you have withdrawn a previous consent for any other account, product of service with us.
You agree that we may satisfy our obligation to provide you with an annual copy of our Privacy Policy by keeping it available for review on our website with prior notice to you, on another website where we offer Electronic Services.
Electronic Delivery of Documents
Electronic Records may be delivered to you in a variety of ways, including, but not limited to Electronic Services as defined above. You are strongly encouraged to save or print the documentation for future reference.
Changes to hardware or software requirements
If our hardware or software requirements change, and that change would create a material risk that you would not be able to access or retain your Electronic Records, we will give you notice of the revised hardware or software requirements. Continuing to use Electronic Services after receiving notice of the change is reaffirmation of your consent.
