17. ELECTRONIC SIGNATURE FOR DISCLOSURE AND PERMISSION
- You acknowledge and agree that we may communicate with you electronically in any or all of the following ways:
- legally required disclosures, notices, and other communications relating to your access to or use of the Services, including, but not limited to, information about fees or charges and any legally required pre-and post-transaction disclosures.
- customer service communications.
- privacy policies and notice.
- change to this Agreement.
- statements, information, and records relating to your transactions; and
- information regarding the debiting of your account.
- Written Communication: All communications from us to you, whether electronic or written, shall be regarded “in writing.” You should print or download a copy of this Agreement and any other Communication that is significant to you for your records.
- Electronic Means of Communicating with You: All electronic communications that we send to you will be either
- by e-mail
- via access to the App Notification notice we send you at the time the information becomes available, or
- on the Fleap website or via SMS text message, to the extent authorized by law. You undertake to quickly evaluate any Communications provided to you and to accept these processes for sending and receiving electronic communications as acceptable.
- How to Keep Your Records Current: To receive electronic Communications, you must supply us with a true, accurate, and full e-mail address and contact information when you initially use the Services, and you must promptly tell us about any changes to this information. You may update some information (for example, your e-mail address) using the App.
- Requirements for Hardware and Software: To access, read, and keep electronic Communications that we make accessible to you, you must have access to your e-mail account or a commercially available Internet browser. For your records, you may desire to use a device capable of saving or printing the Communications.
- Requirement for Paper Copies: If you have accepted to receive communications electronically, we will not send you a hard copy of any Communication unless we believe it necessary. You can print a paper copy of an Electronic Communication. We retain the right but do not commit, to supplying you with a printed (rather than electronic) copy of any Communication that you have permitted us to provide electronically. You may receive a printed copy of any communications or agreements that are legally necessary. You may obtain a print copy of this document by emailing us at support@fleap.finance.
- Withdrawal of Consent: At any time, you may revoke your agreement to receive Communications in electronic form by emailing us at support@fleap.finance. Any withdrawal of your permission to receive electronic Communications will take effect only once we receive your request and have a fair amount of time to process it. You will continue to get Communications in electronic format in the interim. You will lose access to the Services if you revoke your permission. Withdrawing the agreement to receive marketing communications does not, however, prevent you from using the Services. If you withdraw your consent, the legal validity and enforceability of prior electronic communications will be unaffected, and your previous electronic records will remain accessible for the duration required by law and in a format that enables the record to be accurately reproduced for all persons entitled to access the record under applicable law.
- Federal Acts and regulations: You acknowledge and agree that your consent to electronic communications is being provided in connection with an interstate commerce transaction that is governed by the federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act (“E-SIGN Act”), and that we intend for the E-Sign Act to apply to the fullest extent possible in order to validate our ability to conduct business with you electronically.
- Termination/Changes: We have the right, at our sole discretion, to cancel or amend the terms and circumstances under which we provide electronic Communications. As required by law, we will give you notice of any such termination or change.
- We shall refund your money in our custody, if Fleap’s operational license (where required), is suspended, withdrawn, revoked or otherwise no longer in operation.
18.ASSIGNMENT
You may not transfer or assign any rights or obligations you have under this Customer Agreement without our prior written consent in its sole and absolute discretion. We reserve the right to transfer or assign this Customer Agreement or any right or obligation under this Customer Agreement at any time.
19. MODIFICATIONS
- We reserve the right to change, modify and update this Customer Agreement at any time.
- Any aspect of the Services may be amended, changed, modified, supplemented, deleted, or updated without prior notice at our sole discretion. You should therefore pay attention to communications from us about updates.
- Your continued use of the Services after any modifications to this Customer Agreement shall mean you accept those modifications.
