Scope of Consent

This E-Consent applies to all interactions online concerning you and the third party company and includes those interactions engaged in on any mobile device, including phones, smart-phones, and tablets. By exercising this E-Consent, the third party companies may process your information and interact during all online interactions with you electronically.

You may send any questions regarding the hardware and software requirements directly to the third party companies.

Withdrawing Consent

Your E-Consent for our connecting service and for our companies' consideration of your connecting request cannot be withdrawn because it is a one-time transaction. If you are connected with one or more third party partners, you are free to withdraw your E-Consent with them at any time and at no charge.

If you decide to withdraw this E-Consent, the legal effectiveness, validity, and enforceability of prior electronic Disclosures will not be affected.
