Please read this Electronic Communications Agreement ("eCommunications Agreement") thoroughly—it contains important information about your legal rights.
This eCommunications Agreement covers your credit card account and related services with Capital One Financial Corporation and its affiliates (“Capital One,” “we,” “us,” and “our”) accessible, either currently or in the future, through online banking (whether accessed through a personal computer, mobile device, or other technology), our websites, or other electronic means (all together, “Digital Channels”). The words “I,” “you,” and “your” mean each account holder, product owner, and/or service user identified on an account, or related service.
Your Legal Rights
Certain laws and regulations require us to provide specific information ("Communications") to you in writing, which means you have a right to receive that information on paper. We may provide such information to you electronically if we first present this eCommunications Agreement and obtain your consent to receive it electronically. Your consent will also apply to any other person named on your accounts and related services, subject to applicable law. Since online banking and other Capital One websites include some of this information, you may consent to this eCommunications Agreement as part of these services.
At times, we may still present you with paper disclosures or other documents that contain important information about your accounts and related services and you should continue to review any paper correspondence that we mail to you. Any communications that Capital One determines, in its sole discretion, that you should receive in paper rather than electronic form will be mailed to the primary address in our records or otherwise delivered as required by law or any additional agreement. Such mailing or other delivery shall constitute delivery of the communications.
By consenting to this eCommunications Agreement, you agree that you have or have access to equipment that meets the hardware and software requirements described below to enable you to sign in and use online banking and to access and retain your statements, documents, and disclosures electronically. If, in the future, you no longer have or have access to equipment that meets our hardware and software requirements, which we describe in the Section below titled “Hardware and Software Requirements,” please contact us at 1-877-383-4802 to unenroll from receiving electronic communications. We reserve the right to cancel your participation in electronic communications at any time.
By consenting to this eCommunications Agreement, you also agree that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by the terms and conditions described in this eCommunications Agreement. You agree that your consent does not automatically expire and is not limited in duration. You acknowledge that Capital One may terminate access to an account or related service as permitted in the terms governing the account or related service.
If your account is closed or access to the related service is terminated, you may not be able to access any Communications we have provided in electronic form. Accordingly, if your account is closed or access to the related service is terminated, we may send Communications to you in paper form even if you previously elected to receive such materials electronically.
Types of Communications - Statements
By consenting, you are electing to receive your account statements electronically through Digital Channels, and you are consenting to receive your account statements, and notices concerning the availability of your account statements, at any time during the day or night. You are also agreeing that we will not be liable for damages or other liability for the time of day any statements or related notices are sent or received. Such electronic statements may contain other related electronic disclosures such as your annual privacy notice and notices of changes in terms regarding products and services, which are otherwise required to be provided in paper form, depending on the product that you have. Your electronic statements will be available to review at intervals in accordance with your existing statement cycle date. While enrolled, your electronic statements will be available for 18 months or more.
Types of Communications - Other Communications
By consenting, you are also electing to receive other Communications electronically through Digital Channels, and you are consenting to receive these Communications at any time during the day or night. You are also agreeing that we will not be liable for damages or other liability for the time of day any Communications are sent or received. These Other Communications may include agreements, disclosures, notices, alerts, and other information and communications regarding your account or any related service, the use of any other Capital One services, your relationship with us, and/or other programs, products or services that are or may be in the future made available to you. Other Communications may also include, but are not limited to:
Hardware and Software Requirements
To access and retain the information subject to this consent, you must have or have access to equipment that meets the hardware and software requirements:
Certain older web browsers may not be supported by Capital One. If you are using an outdated version, you may need to update it in order to access your account or any related service online. If you are unsure whether your computer or web browser meets our suggested system requirements, please visit https://www.capitalone.com/support-center/browser-support/ for more information.
Statements and certain Other Communications may be available in PDF format only. You will need a program that accurately reads and displays PDF files (such as Adobe® Reader®). If you do not have Adobe® Reader® you can download it at no charge from the following link https://get.adobe.com/reader/ (Note that by clicking the link, you will be taken to a third-party site not managed by Capital One. As a result, different security or privacy practices may apply. We do not endorse, recommend or guarantee any products or services contained at the linked page.) You agree that you have provided Capital One with a valid e-mail address and can access, download, and print PDF files.
To print statements or Other Communications you must have a printer connected to your computer. To download statements or Other Communications, if available, you must have sufficient hard-drive space to store the relevant materials.
If there is a change in the hardware or software requirements needed to access or retain electronic records, and such change creates a material risk that you will not be able to access or retain subsequent electronic records subject to your consent granted by this eCommunications Agreement, we will provide you with a statement of the revised hardware and software requirements for access to and retention of electronic records, as permitted by the eCommunications Agreement. You will have the right to withdraw consent as permitted under this eCommunications Agreement.
How to Withdraw Your Consent
You can withdraw your consent to receiving your statement electronically, with no cost to you, online or by phone. To do so, sign in to online banking or other Digital Channels to update your settings or call Customer Service at 1-877-383-4802. Your withdrawal of consent is effective only after you have communicated your withdrawal to Capital One as described above and Capital One has had a reasonable period of time to act upon your withdrawal. Such withdrawal of consent will only apply to those communications that are required by law or regulation to be provided to you in paper form. We may continue to deliver to you in electronic format all other communications. Your consent shall remain in force until withdrawn in the manner provided in this section.
Consent Coverage; Certain Notices from You Are Not Covered.
You may be required, by contract or applicable law, to give us notice in writing. Your consent here does not relate to those notices, and you must still provide them to us on paper.
Additionally, this eCommunications Agreement does not apply to the following:
Obtaining Copies of Electronic Communications.
We recommend that you print or download a copy of this eCommunications Agreement, statements, and all Other Communications to retain for your permanent records.
You may print or make a copy of electronic statements or Communications by using the "Print" button (or otherwise using your printing functionality) or saving a copy. Do this when you first review the Communications, because we do not necessarily keep them all in a place that you can subsequently access. You may also call Customer Service at 1-877-383-4802 to request a paper copy of your statements or other Communications. Be sure to specify your account or any related service identification number, as applicable, the specific Communications for which you are requesting a paper copy, and the address to which it should be mailed. We may charge fees for paper copies of statements or Other Communications.
Updating Your Contact Information
As a courtesy, when your Statement is available online, we will attempt to send an email notification to the address that we have on file. We also may send you an email notification when you have a new Other Communication available for review. Alternatively, we may communicate the Other Communications directly through email. You must open an email from Capital One at least once over a twelve-month period or you may not continue to receive email notifications. In the event that your email address or other contact information is changed, you must notify Capital One of such changes immediately through online banking. It is your responsibility to update any changes in your email address online, and we are not responsible if you do not receive a courtesy reminder. If you do not receive an email and believe you should have, please verify your email address in online banking.
If you fail to update or change an incorrect email address or other contact information, you understand and agree that any Statements or Other Communications shall nevertheless be deemed to have been provided to you if they were made available to you in electronic form in any Digital Channel or emailed to the email address we have for you in our records.
