USING ELECTRONIC SIGNATURES, ELECTRONIC ACCESS, GOING
PAPERLESS AND SMS TEXTING
Online Access
For some Online Activities, FBFS permits "Online
Access," which includes the ability to use a personal computer, mobile or
other access device equipped with an active connection to an Internet Service
Provider to access your FBFS accounts, policies, or other products and to
perform certain transactions as available. You may register for Online Access
via the Internet.
By electing to enroll in Online Activities, including but
not limited to Paperless (described below), you certify that you are the person
identified by your enrollment information. If you are not that person and/or
you are attempting to access someone else's information, you are in violation
of federal and/or state law and should exit this application now. Violations
will be reported to state and/or federal authorities.
Information to be Provided Electronically
In order to conduct some Online Activities, you agree to
receive information applicable to your use of the Online Activities delivered
to you electronically. These may include policy documents, notices,
disclosures, billing statements, quotes, updates, or other information that you
request, transaction receipts, documents requiring your signature,
authorizations, acknowledgements or any other documents (collectively,
"Communications").
Your consent does not mean that FBFS must provide the
Communications electronically; FBFS may, at its option, provide the
Communications through non-electronic means. As part of the Online Activities,
many of these Communications are made available to you in non-electronic form.
Withdrawing Consent
FBFS may continue to deliver Communications to you
electronically unless you withdraw your consent. You may withdraw your consent
at any time as described below under Unenrolling from Paperless. If you
withdraw your consent, the legal effectiveness, validity and/or enforceability
of prior Communications will not be affected. Any withdrawal of your consent to
receive Communications electronically will be effective only after we have a
reasonable period of time to process your withdrawal.
Use of Electronic Signatures
As part of the Online Activities, you will give the option
to sign certain Communications electronically by either checking the
appropriate box or engaging in a similar online process as instructed online.
You agree that by checking the appropriate box within or adjacent to the
applicable Communication or engaging in a similar online electronic signature
process, you are providing your electronic signature and agree to be bound by
the terms and conditions in such Communication just as if you had signed your
name to a paper document.
By electing to enroll in Online Activities, including but
not limited to Paperless (described below), you certify that you are the person
identified by your enrollment information. If you are not that person and/or
you are attempting to access someone else's information, you are in violation
of federal and/or state law and should exit this application now. Violations
will be reported to state and/or federal authorities.
Hardware and System Requirements
To receive, access, and reply to applicable Communications
you will need:
- a
valid, working email account that allows you to read, write and send
email;
- access
to a personal computer or other access device with Internet access;
- a web
browser which supports the TLS 1.2 (or higher) protocol with JavaScript
enabled;
- software
that lets you get and open Portable Document Format or "PDF"
files; and
- the
ability to download or print Communications such as agreements and
disclosures.
Your state may require insurance documents to be displayed
in a particular font size. To ensure that Communications are displayed at the
correct font size for your state, please make sure that the view size setting
for the Communications is set to 100% and your browser resolution is 800 x 600.
Should we make changes to the hardware or software
requirements for Paperless such that you may no longer be capable of accessing
your electronic insurance documents or Communications, we will inform you in
advance of the revised hardware and software requirements via an update to
these Terms and Conditions.
System Requirements to Retain Information
To retain the Communications sent to you electronically for
your records, your system must have the ability to either download (e.g., to
your hard disk drive, thumb drive/flash drive, etc.), print PDF files, or print
web pages and embedded HTML files.
Printing for Signature
In some cases, you must print, complete, and sign
Communications with a pen, and then return them to FBFS according to the
instructions on the document. To do this, you must have a functioning printer
connected to your personal computer or other access device which is able to
print Communications and the instructions on plain, white 8½ x 11 inch paper.
Going Paperless
As part of the Online Activities, you have the option to
enroll in our paperless feature (“Paperless”). By enrolling in Paperless, you
agree to access insurance policy documents electronically in lieu of delivery
by the United States Postal Service (USPS) or other physical delivery method;
provided, however, that, as required by law, we will deliver certain insurance
policy documents, such as cancellation, lapse and nonrenewal notices, in paper
format via the USPS. However, if the law changes in the future and permits such
documents to be delivered electronically, your continued use of the Website
shall act as your consent to receive such Communications electronically as
well.
Please read the following additional Paperless Terms and
Conditions carefully. By electing to enroll in Paperless, you agree to be bound
by these additional terms. If you do not agree with any of these terms and
conditions, do not enroll in Paperless. We reserve the right to modify these
Terms and Conditions at any time. Continued participation in Paperless will
constitute your acceptance of any revisions to these Terms and Conditions.
Your Paperless Responsibilities
Once you enroll in Paperless, it is your responsibility to
keep your e-mail address up to date within your online profile. It is also your
responsibility to keep your e-mail address active and capable of receiving new
e-mails. To do this, ensure that your e-mail account has sufficient space for
new e-mails and that your e-mail server and spam-blocking software do not block
our e-mails. We are not responsible for problems arising from e-mails sent to
an inactive or out-of-date e-mail address. Once enrolling in Paperless, it is
your sole responsibility to ensure that the email address within your online
profile is current and active. Failure to do so may result in you missing
important Communications. You agree that if we send an email message to you
regarding any Communication or send any Communication to the email address you
have provided us and such email message is returned as undeliverable, we will
be deemed to have provided such Communication to you.
Enrollment in Paperless
To enroll in Paperless, you must successfully complete the

- Log in
or register on fbfs.com using your policy number if you have not already
established an online account;

the verification e-mail and click on the verification link;
- Select
your policy and then the link to set your paperless preferences; and
- Click
and accept the Terms and Conditions for Paperless.

documents will be delivered to you by your agent or via the USPS.

Customer Service Representative at 866-399-3237.
SMS Texting
FBFS offers subscription text message programs to its
Client/Members. Client/members may ask their agent or a Customer Service
Representative to enroll them in a text message alert program. Your agent or a
Customer Service Representative will enroll you in SMS texting services.
Message frequency varies. Consumers and policyholders can text message FBFS at
515-444-5969 with the word “START” to activate text messaging services.
FBFS may use an automatic messaging system to deliver text
messages to you. By your subscription to any FBFS text message program, you
give your consent to FBFS to use an automatic messaging system to deliver text
messages to the telephone or cell phone number to which you have directed FBFS
to transmit these text messages.
Those policy holders that provide a cell phone number
will be enrolled in an alert system to share information about storm activity
in your area. To opt out, follow the instructions below.
FBFS reserves the right to terminate this SMS service, in
whole or in part, at any time without notice. The information in any message
may be subject to certain time lags and/or delays. You are responsible for
managing the types of SMS texts you receive. If you have any questions or need
help, text HELP to 515-444-5969, or call 866-399-3237.
Charges for SMS Texting
FBFS does not have a separate charge for the text message
service; however, message and data rates may apply from your wireless service
provider.
By providing your consent to participate in text messaging,
you approve any such charges from your service provider. Charges for text
messages may appear on your mobile phone bill or be deducted from your prepaid
balance.
Unsubscribing to SMS Texting
To stop receiving text messages, text STOP, END, CANCEL,
UNSUBSCRIBE, or QUIT to 515-444-5969. By enrolling in this subscription
program, you consent that following such a request to unsubscribe, you will
receive one (1) final message from FBFS confirming that you have been
inactivated in our system. Following such confirmation message, no additional
text messages will be sent unless you re-activate your subscription by texting
START to the same number.
Your SMS Texting Responsibilities
Changes to your wireless number. If your wireless number
changes while you are enrolled in text messaging, you are responsible for
updating your information with us. You may update this information by logging
onto www.fbfs.com and updating your communication preferences, or by calling
your agent or customer service.
Canceled contracts and stolen phones. You must unenroll from
text messaging if you discontinue your phone service or lose your mobile phone.
Wireless service provider compatibility. It is your
responsibility to confirm your wireless service provider is compatible with
FBFS text messaging. You may do this by confirming receipt of a text message
from FBFS when you enroll in text messaging, or by texting “TEST” to
515-444-5969.
SMS Texting Additional Limitations of Liability
There are a number of factors outside of our control that
can impact or delay the delivery of your text messages. These factors may
include restrictions made by your wireless service provider and disruptions to
your wireless service. Text messages are provided for your convenience and do
not replace your monthly billing statement(s), which are the official record of
your accounts. We do not assume any liability or responsibility for a failure
or delay in transmitting the text messages to you or for any errors in the
information contained in the text messages.
We also do not assume any liability for any losses or
damage: (a) caused by the disclosure of information to your mobile phone when
the phone is another person's possession; or (b) to your data, mobile phone or
other equipment caused by the use of text messaging, unless directly and solely
caused by our negligence or willful default. Additionally, you agree to
indemnify, defend and hold FBFS harmless from and against any claims, losses or
costs (including reasonable attorney's fees) arising from your provision of a
phone number that is not your own or your violation of applicable state and
federal laws and regulations.

USING OTHER AGGREGATION WEBSITES
Other companies may offer aggregation websites and services
that allow you to consolidate your financial account information from all of
the financial institutions you do business with so that you can view all your
account information at one online location. To do this, an aggregation provider
may request access to your financial information, usernames and passwords.
Before you provide them with this information, you should use caution and
ensure that the aggregator company has appropriate privacy and security
practices in place to protect the information you provide, or to which they are
gaining access.
We’re not responsible for the use or disclosure of any
personal information accessed by any company or person to whom you provide your
Website username and password. If you provide your Website username, password
or other information about your accounts with us to an aggregation website,
we’ll consider that you’ve authorized all transactions or actions initiated by
an aggregation website, whether you were aware of a specific transaction or
action. If you decide to revoke the authority you’ve given to an aggregation
website, we strongly recommend that you change your password for the Website to
ensure that the aggregation website can no longer access your account.
