You may request a paper copy of a communication by emailing [email protected](goes to new website). Paper communications that are not required to be issued by applicable law will be issued in our discretion, subject to our record retention policies and your payment of any administrative fees we may charge for such service from time to time. Any request for paper records that are not required by applicable law to be provided in paper form may be deemed a withdrawal of consent by you (as described in the section “Withdrawal of Consent to Received Electronic Notices”) which may result in your Account being closed.

Withdrawal of Consent to Receive Electronic Notices. Your consent to electronic delivery of Communications remains in effect until you give us notice that you are withdrawing it.

Change of Contact Information. It is your responsibility to keep your primary email address current so that Alto can communicate with you electronically. If your mailing address, e-mail address, telephone number or other contact information changes, you may provide updated information by contacting us at [email protected]. You understand and agree that if we send you a Communication but you do not receive it because your primary email address on file is incorrect, out of date, blocked by your service provider, or you are otherwise unable to receive electronic Communications, we will be deemed to have provided the Communication to you; however, at our option, we may instead deem your Account inactive and close your Account.
