We are pleased to offer electronic delivery of notices and documents ("Paperless"). Eligible policies, including billing documents, will be enrolled for this service. By electing to enroll in Paperless, you agree to be bound by these Terms and Conditions. If you do not agree with any of these Terms and Conditions, you may not enroll in Paperless.
By enrolling in and consenting to Paperless, you accept and agree to the following:
That enrolling in Paperless is voluntary and not a condition of purchase.
To receive all available notices and documents applicable to your policies electronically. Such notices and documents include, but are not limited to, privacy statements, special announcements, declaration pages, endorsements, policy contracts, policy notices, and other policy-related communications (collectively "Policy Documents"), billing statements, billing notices, and other billing-related communications (collectively "Billing Documents") (Policy Documents and Billing Documents collectively "Documents") via Paperless. There may be some Documents that we cannot or do not deliver electronically due to legal, technological, and/or other constraints. These Documents will be delivered to you via the United States Postal Service (USPS), but most will also be available electronically on the Sites.
Documents will be made available in PDF or HTML format, so you must have a valid email account, access to an Internet browser and Adobe® Reader® software (this software is available for download free of charge at www.adobe.com), and an active 21st.com account. Please see the chart below for the required hardware and software. The Documents will be available for a limited period of time. We recommend that you print and/or save a copy for your permanent records. If you wish to print Documents, you must also have access to a printer.
Minimum required hardware and software:
Browsers: | Mozilla Firefox 86 or above (Windows and Mac); Safari™ 14.0.x or above (Mac only), Chrome 89.0.xxxx.xx or above, MS Edge 88.0.xxx.xx or above |
PDF Reader: | Acrobat® or similar software may be required to view and print PDF files |
Screen Resolution | 800 X 600 minimum |

These minimum requirements are subject to change. If these requirements change, you will be asked to re-accept the disclosure. Pre-release (e.g. beta) versions of operating systems and browsers are not supported.
As Documents become available, we will send you a notification by email which will either contain:
The security-enabled internet address (URL) to your 21st.com account, where the Documents can be viewed, downloaded and printed. It is your responsibility to log in to view your Documents; or
A security-enabled PDF version of your invoice, along with a security-enabled internet address (URL) where the materials can also be viewed, downloaded and printed.
We will only deliver Documents to a named insured.
That you are a named insured on the eligible policies enrolled for Paperless.
That you will maintain a valid, current email address and immediately notify us of any change in your email address. Ensure that your email is active and capable of receiving new emails. To do this, ensure that your email account has sufficient space for new emails and that your email server and spam-blocking software do not block our emails. We are not responsible for problems arising from emails sent to an inactive or out-of-date email address, unless we are solely negligent for using an incorrect address. If an email is returned to us as undeliverable, we will resend the email and we will notify you to update your email address through a 21st insurance representative and/or the 21st web site or mobile app. If it is returned as undeliverable, we will presume that you have withdrawn your consent, you will be unenrolled from Paperless, and all available Documents will be sent to you via the USPS. Note that you will have the ability to access the 21st web site and mobile app and to view your Documents on demand as long as you retain a registered 21st.com account.
You may update your information, such as changing your email address, at any time by logging into the Sites.
We may continue to send paper copies of certain Documents if required by federal or state law or due to other constraints. Paperless is not currently available for all Documents. When Documents become available for Paperless, we will initiate the Paperless process without any further action required by you.
Although there is no charge associated with enrolling in Paperless, you may incur costs associated with electronic access to the Documents, such as usage charges from your Mobile Provider or internet service providers. We are not responsible for any damages to your computer, tablet or phone hardware or software, injury to you as a result of power failures or power spikes, or telephone or internet interruptions or other expenses in relation to your use of Paperless.
With regard to your policies, you may request a paper copy of any document at no charge by contacting a 21st insurance representative.
Your consent to enrollment in Paperless will remain in effect for each enrolled policy until termination or cancellation of the policy, or until you revoke your consent. Paperless will remain in effect following any policy modification, reinstatement or renewal.
You may revoke your consent, or make changes to your consent, at any time by:
Logging into your 21st.com account, clicking Edit Digital Preferences, or clicking Update Paperless, and then click Cancel Enrollment, or
contacting us at 1-877-401-8181.
Upon un-enrolling, all subsequent Documents will be mailed via USPS. (Please allow up to 24 hours to process your un-enrollment.)
Revocation of your consent shall not affect the legal enforceability of Documents provided to you before the effective date of un-enrollment.
If you elect to revoke your consent and no longer choose to receive Documents electronically, any applicable discounts on your policy and/or fees will be removed.
If, after electing to withdraw your consent to receiving Documents electronically, you decide you want to once again enroll in Paperless, you may do so by going to the Sites and completing the enrollment process.
Should we make any changes to hardware or software requirements for Paperless such that you will no longer be capable of accessing or retaining your Documents electronically, we will inform you of the revised hardware and software requirements. You will be requested to review the revised Terms and Conditions and your continued enrollment will serve as your consent to continue participating in Paperless according to the new requirements.
We reserve the right to modify these Paperless Terms and Conditions at any time. Your continued participation in Paperless will constitute your acceptance of any revisions to these Terms and Conditions. Please check these Terms and Conditions regularly.
We are not required to deliver information electronically and may discontinue Paperless in whole or in part at any time.

You accept responsibility for any such charges that arise and agree that we are not responsible or liable for any charges or fees from your Mobile Provider. If you are not the bill payer for the mobile telephone or handheld device being used to access the Mobile App, you will be assumed to have received permission from the bill payer for using the Mobile App. You provide consent and all rights necessary to enable offline storage of account and billing information on the mobile device and sync any information on the device with any information that is visible within your 21st.com account.
In order to use the Mobile App, you are required to have a compatible mobile telephone or handheld device, internet access and the necessary minimum software requirements required by your mobile device. The version of the Mobile App software may be upgraded from time to time to add support for new functions and services.
The Mobile App will provide an option to check a box, which will allow you to save your Username and Password. If this option is selected it is the sole responsibility of the user to keep their mobile devices secure by creating and using a passcode to gain access to the mobile device. Location data provided by any services is for basic navigational purposes only and is not intended to be relied upon in situations where precise location information is needed or where erroneous, inaccurate or incomplete location data may lead to death, personal injury, property, or environmental damage. Use of real time route guidance is at your sole risk. Location data may not be accurate. Neither we, nor any of our content providers, guarantee the availability, accuracy, completeness, reliability, or timeliness of location data displayed by any services. Display of location data for various third party businesses, including but not limited to vehicle repair shops, towing services, taxi services, and car rental services, does not constitute a recommendation, endorsement, guarantee, or warranty by us of such third party business.
When you install the Mobile App, we may obtain or receive information about your use of our app, web sites, your device and usage pattern.
We may use location features on your device to obtain and process your location. We may use various technologies to obtain your location such as, but not limited to, IP address, GPS, cell towers, Wi-Fi access points and Bluetooth. The accuracy of these location features can vary depending on your location and the technology used to determine your location. We reserve the right to terminate and not use location features without notice. If you choose not to disclose your location, turn off the location features on your device.
We may communicate with you electronically in a variety of ways, such as in-app notifications and push notifications on the Mobile App to send reminders, alerts, informational messages and other related content (further referred to as 'notifications'). You acknowledge and consent to the receipt of such notifications. You acknowledge and agree that the receipt of notifications is not always guaranteed and that you are responsible for turning this feature on or off. You further acknowledge and agree that the receipt of notifications is dependent on the operation of your Mobile Provider and/or internet service provider. We are not responsible if you do not receive notifications in a timely manner or fail to receive notifications due to a lack of network connectivity or dead zones. You may turn off "Push Notifications" for the Mobile App in the settings section.
We may use Bluetooth/Wi-Fi signal to create a more personalized experience while using the Mobile App. Though the Mobile App might not be open on your device this technology may be running in the background. We do not charge a fee, but fees may be imposed by your Mobile Provider or internet service provider depending on your data plan.
We may offer the option to log into the Mobile App using Apple Touch ID®, Apple Face ID®, or Android or other operating system fingerprint or facial recognition authentication technologies ("Biometric Login") on compatible mobile devices. If Biometric Login has been enabled on your mobile device, the use of this feature to login to the Mobile App can be restricted by selecting and deselecting the option on the login page of the Mobile App. Additionally, Biometric Login can be disabled on your device at any time through your mobile device's settings. We do not have access to your biometric information. If at any time you choose to save your Username and Password, which is required to enable Biometric Login, they will be stored in your Apple Keychain, or Android or other operating system.
IMPORTANT NOTICE: By enabling Biometric Login technology, you allow anyone who has biometric information stored on your device to access your account on the Mobile App. We are not responsible for the individuals who have biometric information stored on your device accessing your policy, account or any other information available through the Mobile App. We reserve the right to suspend or disable this feature at any time. Biometric Login can only be associated with one Username at a time on a device.
