In connection with the Services, we are required by law to provide you with certain Communications in writing. Without your consent, we are not permitted to provide those Communications to you electronically.

If you do not agree to receive the Communications described herein in electronic, and not paper form, you may not open an Account. Similarly, if after providing your consent hereunder, you withdraw such consent, your Account will be closed and you will not be permitted to use any other Services.
