Method of Providing Communications to You in Electronic Form. All Communications that we provide to you in electronic form will be provided via e-mail.
How to Withdraw Consent. You may withdraw your consent to receive Policy Documents electronically via email or phone (See “Contact Us,” Section 13, below). There is no fee for withdrawing from the “Go Paperless” option.
How to Update Your Records. It is your responsibility to provide us with true, accurate and complete e-mail address, contact, and other information related to these Terms and Conditions and your insurance policies, and to promptly update or notify us of any changes in this information. You can update your information via email or phone (See “Contact Us,” Section 13, below). If we are unable to consistently deliver email notifications successfully, you will be automatically unenrolled from the “Go Paperless” options.
Hardware and Software Requirements. In order to receive, access, view, sign and retain electronic Communications that we make available to you, you must have a personal computer or electronic device with internet connectivity and each of the following:

Requesting Paper Copies. You can obtain a paper copy of any Communication we provide to you electronically by printing it yourself or by requesting that we mail you a paper copy. Requests for paper copies must be made within a reasonable time after we first provided the electronic Communication to you. Paper copies may be requested via email or phone (See “Contact Us,” Section 13, below). There is no charge associated with requesting a paper copy of a Communication we sent you electronically. We reserve the right, but assume no obligation, to provide a paper (instead of electronic) copy of any Communication that you have authorized us to provide electronically.
Mandatory Paper Copies of Electronic Communications. We will not send you a paper copy of electronic Communications unless you request it, we otherwise deem it appropriate to do so, or in some instances where we are required by law to send paper copies of documents.
Communications in Writing. All Communications in either electronic or paper format from us to you will be considered "in writing." It is within your discretion to print or download any electronic Communications for your records.

Termination or Changes. We reserve the right, in our sole discretion, to discontinue the provision of your electronic Communications, terminate or change the terms and conditions on which we provide electronic Communications or transact business electronically. We will provide notice of any such termination or changes. Your continued enrollment will constitute acceptance of these changes. Your acceptance of these terms also applies for other insureds on your policy.
Authority to Accept Document Electronically. You acknowledge and agree that you have the authority to receive these documents electronically on behalf of all insureds under your policy.
