This Disclosure supplements and is to be construed in accordance with the terms contained in the various Agreements (the “Agreements”) you received when you obtain the Account.

“We,” “us,” and “our” refers to Novo. “User” and “you” refers to the business entity obtaining an Account.

“Communications” means any Agreements or amendments thereto, disclosures, notices, responses to claims, transaction histories, fee schedules, statements, privacy policies, record, document, and all other information related to the Account and related products and service, including but not limited to information that we are required by law to provide you in writing.

The Account is intended for use only by User who is willing and able to receive notices and communications exclusively through the Websites, the Mobile App or via electronic mail (“E-mail”). If User does not agree to receive the legally-required notices and communications described herein in electronic and not paper form, then User may not open an Account. Similarly, if after providing consent hereunder, User withdraws such consent, we reserve the right to close the Account and terminate User’s participation in the Business Deposit Account program. In opening up an Account, User consents to the use of electronic signatures in Communications with Novo.
