What is this Service?

You will receive an e-mail when your insurance policy is updated, billing notifications are issued, and/or when urgent policy action is required. Unless explicitly stated otherwise, any new features that augment or enhance the current service will be subject to the Electronic Mail Delivery Terms and Conditions.

Is there a fee to sign up for Electronic Mail Delivery?

No. Electronic Mail Delivery is a service provided to all policyholders free of charge.

What are the hardware and software requirements?

Hardware Requirements: You will need access to the Internet and a valid e-mail account to receive e-mail notifications. A link will be provided to direct you to our website, when new document(s) are available to be viewed. You will need a device or devices (e.g., computer, tablet, smartphone, etc.) suitable for connecting to the Internet. Any rates, fees, charges, that may be incurred in connection with accessing our website to review your policy documents are your responsibility. You should ensure that your device has sufficient storage capacity to retain the policy documents or you will need a printer should you choose to print them.

Software Requirements: Our web pages are designed for, and verified with, the last two major releases of Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Microsoft Internet Explorer, Safari, and mobile counterparts. Usually, these browsers have a built-in Adobe Portable Document Format to view documents. Other browsers may or may not be compatible with our website.

If changes are made to the hardware or software requirements, other than routine version updates or releases by the software vendors described above, such that you may no longer be capable of accessing, or retaining your electronic insurance documents, we will inform you of the revised hardware and software requirements for Electronic Mail Delivery. You will then need to review the new requirements and if you no longer wish to participate in Electronic Mail Delivery, you may un-enroll. Continued participation in Electronic Mail Delivery will constitute acceptance of the new requirements.

What are my responsibilities?

Once you enroll in Electronic Mail Delivery, in addition to maintaining the hardware and software requirements otherwise provided for in this agreement, it is your responsibility to inform us of any changes to your e-mail address, to keep your e-mail address current, and your e-mail account active. It is also your responsibility to ensure that your e-mail account is always 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 or host provider and spam-blocking software do not block our e-mails. This includes ensuring that our e-mails are not delivered to your junk file or are deleted due to an email rule you have established. We are not responsible for problems arising from e-mails sent to an inactive or out-of-date e-mail address or sent to an email address that is not monitored or is not configured to receive our e-mails. You will be responsible for accessing the information linked in the email. These links will enable you to receive important information about your policy. In many cases, Electronic Mail Delivery will replace other delivery methods and you will not receive the information separately.

In the event you do not receive billing notifications, it is your responsibility to log into our website and check the mail tab to view your insurance document(s), invoice(s) and/or account balance(s).

It is still your responsibility to inform us of any changes to your postal address. Your enrollment in Electronic Mail Delivery does not absolve you of your obligation to notify us when there is a change to your postal address.

You may update your e-mail address or postal address by doing any of the following:

  • Log into our website, go to your 'My Account' profile and click ‘Account Setting’. You will be provided with the option to update your e-mail address or postal address.
  • Calling our Customer Service Department at (800) 425-9113 Monday through Friday 8:30AM to 6:00PM EST (excluding holidays).

What e-mail address will my notifications be sent from?

Please add to your list of safe e-mail contacts to ensure these messages go to your inbox and do not get routed to your junk mail folder.

How will my e-mail address be validated?

From time to time we may request that you validate your e-mail address on file with us. Failure to timely validate your e-mail address in response to such a request will result in your account being unenrolled from Electronic Mail Delivery. It is your responsibility to validate your e-mail address, inform us of any changes to your e-mail address, to keep your e-mail address current, and your e-mail account active at all times during your participation in Electronic Mail Delivery. You can re-enroll in Electronic Mail Delivery by providing a corrected, valid e-mail address and completing the enrollment process again.

Which documents will I receive electronically?

You will receive access to certain policy documents and bills electronically. However, there may be some documents that we cannot deliver electronically due to legal constraints in your state, technological constraints, or other business considerations, and these documents will be delivered to you via USPS to your postal address on file with us. For security purposes, we may also send confirmation of changes made or requested by you to your online account or profile via USPS to your postal address on file with us. By accepting or otherwise participating in Electronic Mail Delivery, you agree that all notices, disclosures, and communications regarding your insurance policy between you and the Company, including these Terms and Conditions, may be made electronically, including Company postings to its website in accordance with applicable law. Any electronic notice, disclosure or communication the Company makes will be considered made when transmitted by Electronic Mail Delivery to the e-mail address on file, even if a document is sent both electronically and as a paper copy. A paper copy does not alter the delivery date of the electronic document or any deadlines or responsibilities referenced therein.

How do I access my documents?

You will receive an email notifying you that documents and billing notices are ready to be viewed. All you have to do is click on the link contained in the e-mail to access your account and view the document(s) or simply go the My Accounts section of our website and log in to your account at any time. You will be required to enter a User ID and Password credentials.

Please Note: Our web pages are designed for, and verified with, the last two major releases of Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Microsoft Internet Explorer, Safari, and mobile counterparts. You acknowledge that if you access your e-mail via a medium like a mobile phone which uses a browser other than those listed above, the link contained in the e-mail may or may not work, as other browsers may not be supported by us at this time.
