You are responsible for keeping your primary email address on file with National Security Systems up to date so that National Security Systems can communicate with you electronically. You understand and agree that if National Security Systems sends you an electronic communication but you do not receive it because your primary email address on file is incorrect, out of date, blocked by your Internet service provider, or you are otherwise unable to receive electronic communications, National Security Systems still will be deemed to have provided the communication to you.

Agreement to do business with National Security Systems Electronic record and signature disclosure

We want to be as efficient as possible. National Security Systems may utilize a paperless document system for proposals, contracts, work orders, service tickets, and many other business-related documents. From time to time, National Security Systems may also be required by law to provide certain written notices or disclosures. Described below are the terms and conditions for providing to you such notices and disclosures electronically through the National Security Systems electronic signing system. By signing any one of these documents with a cell phone, tablet, computer, or any other electronic devices, you are agreeing to do business via electronic documents.

Withdrawing your consent:

If you decide to receive notices and disclosures from us electronically, you may at any time change your mind and tell us that thereafter you want to receive required notices and disclosures only in paper format. How you must inform us of your decision to receive future notices and disclosure in paper format and withdraw your consent to receive notices and disclosures electronically is described below. You must send a letter to National Security Systems’ Corporate office requesting all documents be made with paper and NOT through our paperless system and agree that National Security Systems will charge you a Paper Communications Fee for each communication at the current rate.

Consequences of changing your mind:

If you elect to receive required notices and disclosures only in paper format, it will slow the speed at which we can complete certain steps in transactions with you and delivering services to you because we will need first to send the required notices or disclosures to you in paper format, and then wait until we receive back from you your acknowledgment of your receipt of such paper notices or disclosures. Also, National Security Systems will charge you a Paper Communications Fee for each communication at the current rate making your overall service rate more expensive.

All notices and disclosures will be sent to you electronically:

Unless you tell us otherwise in accordance with the procedures described herein, we will provide electronically to you through the National Security Systems paperless system all required notices, disclosures, authorizations, acknowledgments, and other documents that are required to be provided or made available to you during the course of our relationship with you. To reduce the chance of you inadvertently not receiving any notice or disclosure, we prefer to provide all of the required notices and disclosures to you by the same method and to the same address that you have given us. Thus, you can receive all the disclosures and notices electronically or in paper format through the paper mail delivery system. If you do not agree with this process, please let us know as described above. Please also see the paragraph immediately above that describes the consequences of your electing not to receive delivery of the notices and disclosures electronically from us.
