Consent to Use Electronic Records and Signatures

Applicant’s consent to use electronic records and signatures. Applicant agrees that Kapitus may provide any Communications electronically (“Electronic Records”) and to the use of electronic signatures. Applicant’s consent applies to all Communications that may be provided during Applicant’s business relationship with Kapitus. For example, this ESIGN Consent and Disclosure, applications, agreements, and notices or disclosures required to be provided by law or that Kapitus chooses to provide in its discretion. Electronic Records shall be delivered to Applicant by email or other electronic means. Even with Applicant’s consent to Electronic Records, Kapitus may, in its sole discretion, provide any Communication on paper. Applicant acknowledges and agrees that all Electronic Records delivered to Applicant by Kapitus (i) shall be given the same legal effect as signed paper Communications, (ii) shall be considered a “writing” or “in writing” and (iii) shall be deemed for all purposes to have been "signed" and to constitute an "original" when printed from electronic files or records established and maintained in the normal course of business. Any notice Applicant is required to provide to Kapitus by law, agreement, or otherwise must be provided to us on paper, unless we specifically communicate in another Communication that it may be delivered to us electronically.

Applicant’s option to receive paper copies. Applicant may request a paper copy of an Electronic Record Kapitus provided at no charge to Applicant by contacting us at (800) 780-7133 or [email protected].

Changing Applicant’s consent. Applicant may withdraw Applicant’s consent at any time. To withdraw consent, Applicant must contact us at (800) 780-7133 or [email protected]. Applicant’s withdrawal of consent will be effective after Kapitus has a reasonable opportunity to act upon it.

Maintaining Current Email Information on File. It is Applicant’s responsibility to keep Applicant’s primary email address current so Kapitus can communicate with Applicant electronically. Applicant must promptly contact us at (800) 780-7133 or [email protected] to notify us of any changes to Applicant’s email address on file with Kapitus. If Applicant uses a spam filter or similar software that blocks or re-routes emails from senders not listed in Applicant’s email address book, consider adding Kapitus to the email address book.

1. A valid email address;

3. An internet browser, with software for viewing documents such as Portable Document Format (PDF);
4. Internet connectivity capable of sending, receiving and accessing data, information and communications from us;
5. Either a printer, a hard drive, or other storage capabilities.

If Kapitus’s hardware or software requirements change and that change would create a material risk that Applicant would not be able to access or retain Electronic Records, Kapitus will provide notice of the revised hardware or software requirements and a reminder of Applicant’s right to withdraw consent to Electronic Records.

By providing consent, Applicant confirms that Applicant has the hardware and software described above, that Applicant is able to receive and review Electronic Records, and that Applicant has provided a valid email account.
