E-Statement Agreement

 
This Paperless Statement E-Sign Disclosure ("Disclosure") applies to:

  • All "eligible accounts" listed on the Services page, and for which you, during enrollment in the Online Service, elect to receive statements only online, and/or
  • Each account you have with us for which you have, after enrollment, elected to receive statements online in lieu of receiving them in the mail (collectively "Accounts").

The words "we," "us," and "our" refer to the Forest Park National Bank and Trust Co. with whom you have your Account, and the words "you" and "your" mean you, the individual(s) or entity identified on the Account(s). As used in this Disclosure, "Communication" means any Account periodic statement, or associated authorization, agreement, disclosure, notice, or other information that would accompany your Account’s periodic statement, including but not limited to information that we are required by law to provide to you in writing.

1. Scope of Communications to Be Provided in Electronic Form. When you elect to receive paperless statements for all “eligible accounts" during enrollment in the Online Service or when, at any point after enrollment, you choose to receive statements online in lieu of receiving them in the mail, you agree that we may provide you with any Communications in electronic format, and that we may discontinue sending paper Communications to you, unless and until you withdraw your consent as described below. Your consent to receive electronic communications and transactions includes, but is not limited to:
  • All legal and regulatory disclosures and communications associated with your Account
  • Periodic disclosures or monthly billing statements for your Account(s)
  • Notices or disclosures about a change in the terms of your Account or associated payment feature
  • Privacy policies and notices

2. Method of Providing Communications to You in Electronic Form. All Communications that we provide to you in electronic form will be provided (1) via e-mail, (2) by access to a website that we will designate in an e-mail notice we send to you at the time the information is available, or (3) to the extent permissible by law, by access to a website that we will generally designate in advance for such purpose. In order to access the Online Statements, you must login to Online Banking at our website with your username and password and click on the “Online Statements” link. An Online Statement for any given period may be accessed electronically at our Online Banking website for approximately thirteen (13) months following its initial posting. You acknowledge and agree that it is your responsibility to download and save in electronic form, or print and retain, your Online Statements for your records.

3. How to Withdraw Consent. You may withdraw your consent to receive Communications in electronic form for any of your Accounts by changing your preferences on the Account Selection page within www.forestparkbank.com or you can contact us by telephone. At our option, we may treat your provision of an invalid e-mail address, or the subsequent malfunction of a previously valid e-mail address, as a withdrawal of your consent to receive electronic Communications. We will not impose a fee to process the withdrawal of your consent to receive electronic Communications. Any withdrawal of your consent to receive electronic Communications will be effective only after we have a reasonable period of time to process your withdrawal.

4. 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 this Disclosure and to your Account(s), and to maintain and update promptly any changes in this information. You can update information (such as your e-mail address) at our website, www.forestparkbank.com, or you can contact us by telephone.

5. Hardware and Software Requirements. In order to access, view, and retain electronic Communications that we make available to you, you must have:

  • an Internet browser that supports 128 bit encryption;
  • sufficient electronic storage capacity on your computer’s hard drive or other data storage unit;
  • Adobe(R) Acrobat(R) Reader(R) 4.0 or higher;

6. Requesting Paper Copies. We will not send you a paper copy of any Communication unless you request it or we otherwise deem it appropriate to do so. You can obtain a paper copy of an electronic Communication by printing it yourself or by requesting that we mail you a paper copy, provided that such request is made within a reasonable time after we first provided the electronic Communication to you. To request a paper copy, you can contact us by telephone 708-222-2800 or log in to www.forestparkbank.com and send a paper statement request from the Secure Message Center. We may charge you a reasonable service charge for the delivery of paper copies of any Communication provided to you electronically pursuant to this authorization. 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.

7. Communications in Writing. All Communications in either electronic or paper format from us to you will be considered "in writing." You should print or download for your records, a copy of your Paperless Statements, this Disclosure, your initial authorization to receive Paperless Statements and any changes to that authorization, and any other Communication that is important to you.

8. Federal Law. You acknowledge and agree that your consent to electronic Communications is being provided in connection with a transaction affecting interstate commerce that is subject to the federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, and that you and we both intend that the Act apply to the fullest extent possible to validate our ability to conduct business with you by electronic means.

9. Termination/Changes. We reserve the right, at our sole discretion, to discontinue the provision of your electronic Communications, or to terminate or change the terms and conditions on which we provide electronic Communications, including any applicable discount for receiving Paperless Statements. We will provide you with notice of any such termination or change as required by law.
