Paperless Terms and Conditions
These Paperless Terms and Conditions are in addition to the Terms of Use for the Sites.
We are pleased to offer electronic delivery of notices and documents (“Paperless”). Eligible policies and/or billing accounts can be enrolled for this service.
By electing to enroll in Paperless, you agree to be bound by these Terms and Conditions. If you do not agree with any of these Terms and Conditions, you may not enroll in Paperless.
By enrolling in and consenting to Paperless, you accept and agree to the following:
■ That enrolling in Paperless is voluntary and not a condition of purchase.
■ To receive all available notices and documents applicable to your policies and/or billing accounts electronically. Such notices and documents include, but are not limited to, prospectuses, supplements to prospectuses, annual and semi-annual reports, annual statements, privacy statements, quarterly reports, proxy statements, special announcements, declaration pages, endorsements, policy contracts, policy notices, and other policy-related communications (collectively “Policy Documents”), billing statements, billing notices, and other billing-related communications (collectively “Billing Documents”) (Policy Documents and Billing Documents collectively “Documents”) via Paperless. There may be some Documents that we cannot or do not deliver electronically due to legal, technological, and/or other constraints. These documents will be delivered to you via the United States Postal Service (USPS), but most will also be available electronically on the Sites.
■ Documents will be made available in PDF or HTML format, so you must have a valid e-mail account, access to an Internet browser and Adobe® Reader® software (this software is available for download free of charge at www.adobe.com), and an active BEARSTAR Insurance.com account. Please see the chart below for the required hardware and software. The Documents will be available for a limited period of time. We recommend that you print and/or save copies for your permanent records. If you wish to print Documents, you must also have access to a printer.
Operating Systems:
Windows® 10, MacOS® Catalina 10.15.x Windows® 2000, Windows® XP, Windows Vista®, MacOS® X
Browsers:
Mozilla Firefox 86 or above (Windows and Mac); Safari™ 14.0.x or above (Mac only), Chrome 89.0.xxxx.xx, MS Edge 88.0.xxx.xx
PDF Reader:
Acrobat® or similar software may be required to view and print PDF files
Screen Resolution:
800 X 600 minimum
Enable Security Settings:
Allow per-session cookies
These minimum requirements are subject to change. If these requirements change, you will be asked to re-accept the Terms and Conditions. Pre-release (e.g. beta) versions of operating systems and browsers are not supported.
■ As Documents become available, we will send you a notification by e-mail which will either contain:
■ The security-enabled Internet address (URL) to your BEARSTAR Insurance.com account, where the Documents can be viewed, downloaded and printed. It is your responsibility to log in to view your Documents; or
■ A security-enabled PDF version of your invoice, along with a security-enabled Internet address (URL) where the materials can also be viewed, downloaded and printed.
■ We will only deliver Documents to a named insured.
■ That you are a named insured on the eligible policies and/or billing accounts enrolled for Paperless. Further, that the policies and/or billing accounts will remain enrolled in Paperless even if your e-mail address becomes inactive, so long as there is an active e-mail address of a named insured associated with the policies and/or billing accounts receiving e-mail notification of available Documents.
■ That you will maintain a valid, current e-mail address and immediately notify us of any change in your e-mail address. Ensure that your e-mail is active and capable of receiving new e-mails. To do this, ensure that your e-mail account has sufficient space for new e-mails and that your e-mail server and spam-blocking software do not block our e-mails. We are not responsible for problems arising from e-mails sent to an inactive or out-of-date e-mail address, unless we are solely negligent for using an incorrect address. If an e-mail were returned to us as undeliverable, we would notify you to update your e-mail address through your BEARSTAR Insurance agent and/or the Sites. We will also resend the e-mail. If it were returned once again as undeliverable, and there were no other active e-mail address of a named insured associated with the enrolled policies and/or billing accounts as explained above, we will presume that you have withdrawn your consent, you will be disenrolled from Paperless, and all available Documents will be sent to you via the USPS. Note that you will have the ability to access the Sites and view your Documents on demand.
■ You may update your information, such as changing your e-mail address, at any time by logging into the Sites.
■ We may continue to send paper copies of certain Documents, such as annual statements, if required by federal or state law or due to other constraints. Paperless is not currently available for all Documents. When Documents become available for Paperless, we will initiate the Paperless process without any further action required by you.
■ Although there is no charge associated with enrolling in Paperless, you may incur costs associated with electronic access to the Documents, such as usage charges from your mobile device service provider or Internet service providers.
■ We are not responsible for any damages to your computer, tablet, or phone hardware or software, injury to you as a result of power failures or power spikes, or telephone or Internet interruptions or other expenses in relation to your use of Paperless.
■ With regard to your other policies, you may request a paper copy of any document at no charge by contacting your BEARSTAR Insurance agent.
■ Your consent to enrollment in Paperless will remain in effect for each enrolled policy and/or billing account until termination or cancellation of the policy and/or billing account, or until you revoke your consent. Paperless will remain in effect following any policy modification, reinstatement or renewal.
■ You may revoke your consent, or make changes to your consent, at any time by: contacting BEARSTAR Insurance customer service at 800-948-2340
■ Upon un-enrolling, all subsequent Documents will be mailed via USPS. (Please allow up to 24 hours to process your withdrawal.)
■ Revocation of your consent shall not affect the legal enforceability of Documents provided to you before the effective date of withdrawal.
■ If you elect to revoke your consent and no longer choose to receive Documents electronically, any applicable discounts on your policy and/or fees will be removed.
■ If, after electing to withdraw your consent to receiving Documents electronically, you decide you want to once again enroll in Paperless, you may do so by going to the Sites and completing the enrollment process.
■ Should we make any changes to hardware or software requirements for Paperless such that you would no longer be capable of accessing or retaining your Documents electronically, we shall inform you of the revised hardware and software requirements. You would be requested to review the revised Terms and Conditions and your continued enrollment would serve as your consent to continue participating in Paperless according to the new requirements.
■ We reserve the right to modify these Paperless Terms and Conditions at any time. Your continued participation in Paperless will constitute your acceptance of any revisions to these Terms and Conditions. Please check these Terms and Conditions regularly.
■ We are not required to deliver information electronically and may discontinue Paperless in whole or in part at any time.
