this Agreement, the words “we”, “our”, and “us” mean Pacific Mercantile Bank, and
the words “you” and your” mean the account holder who has elected to receive his

You have elected to have statements provided to you electronically through our bank’s

an invalid e-mail address, the subsequent invalidation of your e-mail address, or
cancellation of participation in our Online Banking Services as a withdrawal of
your consent to receive electronic statements. We will not impose a fee to process
the withdrawal of your consent. Any withdrawal of your consent to receive electronic
statements will be effective after a reasonable period of time in order for the
Bank to process your withdrawal.
In order for you to obtain electronic statement service, you must be enrolled in

for viewing. You agree to periodically check the Message Center within the Bank’s
Online Banking Service for messages related to the availability of your electronic
statement. The messages will be available in the Message Center for up to 180 days.

statement to you. To request a paper copy, contact us at 866-450-5600. We may charge

our ability to conduct business with you by electronic means.

electronic statement, or to terminate or change the terms and conditions on which
we provide electronic statements. We will provide you with notice of any such termination
or change as required by law.
