As part of your relationship with us, we want to ensure you have all the information you need to effectively manage your accounts. We are required by law to give you certain information “in writing” – which means you are entitled to receive it on paper. We may provide this information to you electronically, instead, with your prior consent. We also need your general consent to use electronic records and signatures in our relationship with you. So, before you use our Electronic Services you must review and consent to the terms outlined below. In this consent:
-
“We,” “us,” “our” and “Silver Oak” means Silver Oak Securities, Inc. and each and every current and future affiliate of Silver Oak Securities, Inc.
-
“You” and “your” means the person giving this consent, and also each additional account owner, authorized signer, authorized representative, delegate, product owner and/or service user identified on any Silver Oak Product that you apply for, use or access.
-
“Communications” means each disclosure, notice, agreement, fee schedule, statement, record, document, and other information we provide to you, or that you sign or submit or agree to at our request.
-
“Electronic Service” means each and every product and service we offer that you apply for, use, administer or access using the Internet, a website, email, messaging services (including text messaging) and/or software applications (including applications for mobile or hand-held devices), either now or in the future.
-
“Silver Oak Product” means each and every account, product or service we offer that you apply for, own, use, administer or access, either now or in the future. Silver Oak Products include Electronic Services.
-
The words “include” and “including,” when used at the beginning of a list of one or more items, indicates that the list contains examples – the list is not exclusive or exhaustive, and the items in the list are only illustrations. They are not the only possible items that could appear in the list.
1. Your consent to use electronic records and signatures; Choosing to receive Communications electronically or in writing; Certain information must still be provided in writing.
In our sole discretion, the Communications we provide to you, or that you sign or agree to at our request, may be in electronic form (“Electronic Records”). We may also use electronic signatures and obtain them from you as part of our transactions with you. Electronic Records may be delivered to you in a variety of ways. We may always, in our sole discretion, provide you with any Communication in writing, even if you have chosen to receive it electronically. Sometimes the law, or our agreement with you, requires you to give us a written notice. You must still provide these notices to us on paper, unless we specifically tell you in another Communication how you may deliver that notice to us electronically. There are certain Communications that by law we are not permitted to deliver to you electronically, even with your consent. So long as required by law, we will continue to deliver those Communications to you in writing. However, if the law changes in the future and permits any of those Communications to be delivered as Electronic Records, this consent will automatically cover those Communications as well.
2. Your option to receive paper copies.
If we provide Electronic Records to you, and you want a paper copy, you may contact the appropriate customer service unit and request a paper version. You may have to pay a fee for the paper copy unless charging a fee is prohibited by applicable law. Please refer to the applicable agreement for any fee that may apply for paper copies.
3. Your consent covers all Silver Oak Products; Privacy Policies, Form ADV Part 1, 2 and CRS.
Your consent covers all Communications relating to any Silver Oak Product. Your consent remains in effect until you give us notice that you are withdrawing it. From time to time, you may seek to obtain a new Silver Oak Product from us. When you do, we may remind you that you have already given us your consent to use Electronic Records and signatures. If you decide not to use Electronic Records and signatures in connection with the new product or service, your decision does not mean you have withdrawn this consent for any other Silver Oak Product. You agree that we may satisfy our obligation to provide you with an annual copy of our Privacy Policy by keeping it available for review on www.silveroaksecuritiescom, or, with prior notice to you, on another website where we offer Electronic Services.
4. You may withdraw your consent at any time; Consequences of withdrawing consent; How to give notice of withdrawal.
You have the right to withdraw your consent at any time. To withdraw your consent contact us at 800-610-6869.
5. You must keep your email or electronic address current with us.
You must promptly notify us of any change in your email or other electronic address.
6. Communications in languages other than English.
Please note, we may be unable to fulfill and service Silver Oak Products in a language other than English. Future Communications may be in English only. If you are not fluent in English, you should consider obtaining the services of an interpreter or taking other steps to ensure you understand the transaction before entering it and to explain any future Communications in English.
By providing your consent, you are also confirming that you have the hardware and software, that you are able to receive and review electronic records, and that you have an active email account. You are also confirming that you are authorized to, and do, consent on behalf of all the other account owners, authorized signers, authorized representatives, delegates, product owners and/or service users identified with your Silver Oak Products.
