Electronic Signature Agreement
For your convenience and to enable certain transactions to be expedited, Universal Fidelity Life Insurance Company and its affiliates (collectively, “we,” “us,” or “our”) give you the ability to electronically sign certain documents concerning your coverage. Your use of your electronic signature on this portal is subject to the terms and conditions of this Electronic Signature Agreement (this “Agreement”). As used in this Agreement, “you” and “your” refers to a named insured under an insurance product that we administer and who has established an online account under this portal.
This Agreement applies to forms or other documents that we may give or make available to you, and electronically signed by you and returned to us, as part of an insurance transaction or claim. If you wish to electronically sign forms and documents to transact business with us, you must carefully review the following terms and conditions and indicate your consent and agreement below. This document will then be a legally binding agreement between you and us.
We recommend that you print or electronically save a copy of this Agreement to retain for your records.
Electronic Signature and Use of Electronic Documents
Your Consent to Use Electronic Signatures.
By accepting this Agreement and completing a document (including this Agreement) on this portal, you agree that applying your electronic signature on such document shall constitute evidence of your intent to sign the applicable document and shall have the same force and effect as your traditional “wet” manual written signature using pen and paper. Electronic signatures may take various forms on this portal, including checking a box and/or typing your name. You agree that any such electronic signature shall satisfy all requirements for a valid signature.
Your Authority.
You represent that you are the person registered as a named insured who has established an online account under this portal and you acknowledge that you are the only person permitted to use your unique username and password to access your online account. You represent that you have authority to give instructions and authorize transactions with respect to your insurance products that we administer, including general authority over changes to your personal information, payment of premiums, policy or coverage changes, or any other online transaction facilitated or permitted by the use of this portal. You understand that by consenting to this Agreement, we have full authorization from you to rely and act upon any instructions received from you without further inquiry. You represent and warrant that you have the authority to provide an electronic signature on behalf of yourself, and to have any electronically signed document be legally binding on you for all purposes.
Written Document.
By completing and electronically signing a document on this portal, you agree that, for purposes of complying with any applicable law that requires a “writing,” such electronic document shall be considered to be “in writing” or “written” to the same extent as if it were in paper form. We reserve the right to require that you sign a paper copy of any form or document with your manual handwritten signature instead of accepting your electronic signature through this portal or by any other electronic means.
Legal Proceedings.
If introduced as evidence in any judicial, arbitration, mediation, or administrative proceeding, such electronic documents shall be admissible as between you and us to the same extent and under the same conditions as records originated and maintained in paper form, and you agree that you shall not contest the admissibility or enforceability of our copies of such documents or your electronic signature thereon in a court or any proceeding under any evidentiary rule on the basis that the electronic document or signature was not originated or maintained in paper form.
You Should Keep Copies of Your Documents.
Any document that you sign electronically may not be available online after it is signed. You should save electronic documents to your computer or print them off to retain copies for your records.
Your Right to Obtain Paper Copies.
You may obtain, at no cost, paper copies of any of your documents that we maintain. To request paper copies, you may call us at
