General
Federal law requires that we obtain your consent before providing communication electronically. By accepting this Agreement, you have elected to receive communication by electronic delivery, subject to the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, and that you and Bank of Washington both intend that the Act applies to the fullest extent possible to validate our ability to conduct business with you by electronic means. It is recommended that you read this carefully and save for future reference.
As used in this Agreement, “communication” means any periodic statement, billing statement, authorization, agreement, disclosure, notice, or other information related to your Account including, but not limited to, information that we are required by law to provide you in writing. All communication shall be in full compliance with applicable laws and regulations. Within this Agreement, the terms "you", "your", and “customer” refer to each person on an account who has elected to receive electronic communication. The term “we,” “us,” and “our” refer to Bank of Washington. The term “account” or “accounts” means your accounts at Bank of Washington.
In some cases, we must continue to mail paper statements, legal notices, and disclosures even if you elect to receive them electronically. Upon your request, we can make available a paper copy of any communication.
Changes in Terms of Use
We reserve the right to modify this Agreement at any time. Any modifications to this service shall be effective the date provided within the notification posted on our website. We will notify you of any amendments to this Agreement by providing notice to you via your email address or our website. Bank of Washington has the right to rescind this Agreement at any time and for any reason without advance notice.

Liability
We do not guarantee the delivery of any email notification, nor liability for losses or damages arising from non-delivery, delayed, or missed delivery.
