This eCommunications Disclosure covers all your accounts, products, and services with Alt Lending, LLC (collectively, “we”, “us”, and “our”) accessible, either currently or in the future, through our app, websites, or other electronic means, in connection with any of our products or services. The words “you” and “your” mean each account holder, product owner and/or service user identified on an account, product or service.

Your Legal Rights

Certain laws and regulations require us to provide specific information 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 Disclosure and obtain your consent to receive the information electronically. Your consent will also apply to any other person named on your account, product or service, subject to applicable law. Since certain of our accounts, products or services are provided online and use electronic means to deliver some of this information, you must consent to this eCommunications Disclosure to use these services. At times, we may still send you paper communications, but as a basic proposition we need to know that you are willing to receive communications electronically that we may otherwise be required to provide on paper and that you have the hardware and software needed to access to this information.

Types of Electronic Communications You Will Receive

You understand and agree that we may provide to you in electronic format only, such as by posting the information on the website where you access your accounts, products or services, through e-mail (if applicable and if you have provided a valid e-mail address), or through other electronic means, agreements, disclosures, notices, and other information and communications regarding your accounts, services and products, the use of our websites or our other electronic services, your relationship with us, and/or other programs, products or services that are or may be in the future made available to you (collectively, “Communications”). Such Communications may include, but are not limited to:

  • Any service or user agreements for access to our websites or other electronic services, all updates to these agreements and all disclosures, notices and other communications regarding transactions you make through websites or our other electronic services;
  • Disclosures, agreements, notices and other information related to the opening or initiation of an account, product or service including, but not limited to, account agreements, fee schedules or other disclosures or notices that may be required by the Truth in Savings Act, Electronic Fund Transfer Act, Truth in Lending Act, the Equal Credit Opportunity Act, the Fair Credit Reporting Act, the Gramm Leach Bliley Act, the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act or other applicable federal or state laws and regulations;
  • Periodic, annual, monthly or other statements, disclosures and notices relating to the maintenance or operation of an account, product or service including, but not limited to account information, account activity, account inactivity, payments made or due, or other statements, disclosures or notices that may be required by the Truth in Savings Act, Electronic Fund Transfer Act, Truth in Lending Act, the Equal Credit Opportunity Act, the Fair Credit Reporting Act, the Gramm Leach Bliley Act, the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act or other applicable federal or state laws and regulations;
  • Any notice or disclosure regarding an account, product or service fee;
  • Any notice of the addition of new terms and conditions or the deletion or amendment of existing terms and conditions applicable to accounts, products or services you obtain from us;
  • Our Privacy Notice and other privacy statements or notices (by posting such notices on our website) or electronically delivered;
  • Certain tax statements or notices that we are legally required to provide to you; and
  • Certain information or forms that we request from you and ask you to submit electronically, such as signature cards, tax documentation (ie W-9s), or other agreements.

Types of Communications You Will Receive in Paper

This eCommunications Disclosure does not apply to any communications that we determine, in our sole discretion, that we are required to deliver in paper form under applicable law or that you should receive in paper rather than electronic form.

Such communications shall be mailed to the primary address we show for you in our records or otherwise delivered as required by law or the governing agreement.

Hardware and Software Requirements

You will need a computer or mobile device with internet access and browser, a compatible operating system (iOS 14.0 or higher or Android 8.0 or higher), and a compatible Alt Lending app to access the Communications.

You will need a computer or mobile device with internet access and browser, and a compatible operating system to access the Communications. While you may be able to access and retain the Communications using other hardware and software, we recommend that you use the latest version of the supported browsers, keep your security settings up to date and that you enable JavaScript.
