Electronic Signature Agreement

This Electronic Signature Agreement (“Agreement”) applies to all Communications between you and Business Environment Scientific Technologies, Incorporated (the “Company”). In the event certain Communications are subject to the terms and conditions of a separate electronic disclosure and consent, this Agreement applies to the extent it does not conflict with those separate terms and conditions. PLEASE REVIEW THIS AGREEMENT CAREFULLY AND KEEP A COPY FOR YOUR RECORDS.

We are required to provide certain information and disclosures to you “in writing,” meaning on paper. With your prior consent, however, we may instead provide this information to you electronically. We also require your consent to use electronic records and signatures in our relationship with you. Therefore, before we do or continue to do business with you electronically, you must review and consent to the terms outlined below.

Definitions

“We,” “us,” or “our” refers to the Company.
“You” and “your” refers to the person providing consent to the terms of this Agreement, any other owner, co-owner, borrower, co-signer or guarantor of your account, loan or contract with us, and anyone else who has authority to take action with respect to your account, loan or contract with us.
“Communications” refers to any disclosures, messages, statements, applications, documents, policies, forms, notices, records, instructions, agreements, or other information that we provide you or that you sign, complete, agree to or submit to us at our request.

Electronic Communications

By providing your consent to the terms of this Agreement, you agree that Communications we provide to you, or that you sign, complete, agree to or submit to us at our request, may be delivered in electronic format, and we may discontinue sending paper Communications to you unless and until you withdraw your consent as described below. You also agree that you and we may use electronic signatures in conducting business with each other.

You are not required to consent to the terms of this Agreement in order to do business with us. However, you do have to provide and maintain your consent if you wish to use any of our electronic banking applications, either through our website, our mobile application (“mobile app”), if available, or any other electronic technologies that may be developed and offered. If you do not wish to consent to electronic delivery of Communications, we will send paper copies of any legally required Communications to you.

How We Provide Electronic Communications to You; Communications from You We will provide all electronic Communications to you through one or more of the following methods:

• via email;
• through SMS (short message service) text messaging;
• through our desktop or mobile website;
• through our mobile app (if available), or through push notification via our mobile app;
• through any third-party service provider we engage to deliver Communications electronically; or
• by presenting a file or document that contains Communications in Hyper Text Markup Language (HTML) or Portable Document Format (PDF).

At our sole discretion, we may provide you with paper copies of any Communications, even if you have chosen to receive them electronically. If the law, or any agreement between us and you, requires you to give us written notice, you must still provide us with such notice in writing on paper unless we tell you how to deliver that notice to us in electronic format.

Communications we send to you delivered by email or SMS text message will be sent using the applicable contact information we have for you as reflected in our records. You represent that any email address or SMS text number you provide to us for electronic delivery purposes is valid and belongs to you or to a person who has authority to act on your behalf.

Retaining Copies of Electronic Communications

You may retain any electronic Communications by electronically saving or by printing a copy when we first provide it to you. You acknowledge that electronic Communications we provide through a website or mobile app (if available) may be available for viewing and saving only for a limited number of days.

How to Withdraw Consent

You have the right to withdraw your consent to the terms of this Agreement, and to receiving Communications electronically, at any time. Withdrawing your consent, however, will result in termination of your use of Online Services through both our website and our mobile app (if available).

To withdraw your consent, contact us at support@bestinc.net. There are no conditions, consequences or fees related to withdrawing your consent to this Agreement. If you withdraw your consent, any future written Communications we send you will be provided via U.S. mail or other courier of our choosing. Any withdrawal of your consent to receive Communications by electronic delivery will be effective only after we have a reasonable period of time to process your withdrawal. Withdrawing your consent will not affect the validity of any Communications already provided or your obligation to make otherwise required payments.
