“You” or “your” means the person or entity, including to the extent applicable, your authorized representative, who has the appropriate authority to receive Communications.
Electronic Delivery of Communications
Please read this Consent carefully before you agree. Your consent to receiving electronic documents, the “Communications,” is voluntary. By signing electronically where indicated, you are agreeing to receive Communications electronically as part of your transactions with us. You are also agreeing to the use of electronic signatures in your transactions with us. You agree that you have the ability to view and save Communications through electronic means.
We may always, at our option, choose to deliver Communications to you on paper.
Hardware/Software Requirement. To access and retain electronic Communications you need (1) a computer or mobile device with access to the Internet and an up-to-date version of a web browser we support, (2) the ability to download or print Communications, (3) an active email address, and (4) a current version of a PDF reader (Adobe’s Acrobat Reader software can be downloaded for free at the Adobe site). If you plan to access electronic Communications on a personal mobile or handheld device, you will need the device and a service plan that enables you to view such messages. You may also need a specific software application intended for your particular mobile or handheld device.
If we change the hardware or software requirements described above, and that change creates a material risk that you would not be able to access or retain your electronic Communications, we will notify you of the revised hardware or software requirements and you will have an opportunity to return to paper delivery.
