The following provisions constitute an amendment to the agreements and disclosures contained in the Truth In Savings Agreement (referred to as “TIS Agreement”) entitled “Important Account Information for Our Members” of Bay Cities Credit Union (hereinafter referred to as “we”, “our”, “us”, BCCU, and “Credit Union”) concerning electronic delivery of statements and informational notices concerning your accounts (collectively, the “e-Services”), including time deposits, maintained by any individual, corporation, partnership, association, or other legal entity (herein referred to as “you”, “your,” and “yours”). To the extent there is any conflict between any statement made in this Supplemental Agreement (the “Agreement”) and the TIS, this Agreement shall prevail.
1. CONSENT TO RECEIVE ACCOUNT STATEMENTS AND NOTICES ELECTRONICALLY
By clicking “Subscribe” below and entering your PIN, you agree to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and consent (initially and on an ongoing basis) to receive in electronic format (a) your account statements (“e-Statements”) and (b) the informational notices (“e-Services Alerts”) that we are required to provide to you under applicable Federal and State statutes and their implementing regulations, as amended from time to time.
If e-Statement delivery is selected, all paper statements associated with your accounts will no longer be mailed via U.S. postal service. However, you may still obtain a paper copy of your account statement(s) by contacting the Credit Union. You understand that if you request paper copies, they will be provided to you at the prevailing cost per statement. You may also view and print statements directly from Home Banking and download them to your computer at no cost.
2. SECURITY MEASURES
We will use commercially reasonable measures, consistent with industry standards, to maintain a reasonable level of security over the information contained in your e-Statements and e-Services Alerts. Upon your election of e-Services, we will “pre-note” your email address by sending you an email. To protect you account information your e-Statements will never be sent to you over the internet. Other security consists of 128-bit encryption of the data for e-Services.
You understand that these industry standards are dynamic and constantly developing. By accepting the enrollment agreement for e-Services, you acknowledge and understand that there are risks to electronic delivery of e-Services, including, but not limited to, delay or failure of availability due to technical difficulties, weather conditions (including but not limited to sun spots), matters beyond our reasonable control or interception, and/or alteration of your e-Services Alerts by third parties in spite of the Credit Union’s commercially reasonable security measures. By accepting the enrollment Agreement for e-Services, you represent that you have considered our security measures and find that our security measures are commercially reasonable. In reaching this conclusion, you have considered the historical and potential future content of your e-Services, the risks associated with electronic delivery of your e-Services Alerts, and our security procedures. If you conclude that our security procedures cease to be commercially reasonable in the future, you must terminate this agreement immediately in accordance with paragraph 7 below.
