These features are limited to the extent, and subject to the terms, noted herein and in any Additional Agreements that apply to you. The Services shall also be deemed to include any portion of the Online Servicing Site and any software used to operate the Services. Subject to all terms hereof, you may use the Services seven days a week, twenty-four hours a day, except for any scheduled or unscheduled interruptions in the Services for maintenance, security or any other reasons, as further described below.

Certain features, information, types of transactions or other services available while using the Services are only available for certain Capital One accounts and may not be available when accessing the Services via mobile device or for all of your Capital One accounts. For certain of your accounts, you may be able to hyperlink from the Online Servicing Site to another Capital One Site relating to such accounts, where you may be able to access features, information, transactions or other services pertaining to those accounts that you cannot access directly on the Online Banking Site (and that thus are not deemed a part of the Services).

Security, Confidentiality of Access Information

Use of the Services requires a computer or approved mobile device and Internet access connected through an Internet or mobile service provider and with a web browser (for example, Firefox or Microsoft Internet Explorer).

To provide the highest degree of confidentiality and to protect the security of your financial information, you must have an Internet browser that supports 128-bit encryption and secure sockets layer version 3.0 or higher. Use of the Services with lower than 128-bit encryption is strictly prohibited. To the extent you are able to access the Services using lower than 128-bit encryption, we specifically disclaim any and all responsibility for losses resulting from your use of such lower encryption. We may change these requirements from time to time.

You agree to keep your Username (Saver ID)/Customer Number, user ID, Password/PIN, password, password reminder question and answer and any other security or access information (collectively, "Access Information") confidential to prevent unauthorized access to your account(s) and to prevent unauthorized use of the Services. We recommend that you memorize your Access Information and do not write it down. You agree not to give or make available your Access Information to any unauthorized individual.

If you believe the security of your password or any other Access Information has been compromised in any way (for example, your password has been lost or stolen, someone has attempted to use the Services under your Username (Saver ID)/Customer Number without your consent, your accounts have been accessed, or someone has transferred money from your account(s) without your permission), you must notify us immediately. (See YOUR RESPONSIBILITIES AND LIABILITIES below.)

We reserve the right, under certain circumstances, to deny your access to any one or more account(s) or to the Services or any part thereof, or to deny the processing of transactions, in order to maintain or restore security or performance to the Online Servicing Site or any other Capital One Sites and systems. We may do so if we reasonably believe your Access Information has been or may be obtained or is being used or may be used by an unauthorized person(s).

Enrollment In Services; Accounts Which Can Be Accessed

In order to enroll in and use the Services, you will need your 9-digit Social Security or Tax Identification Number, unless otherwise expressly agreed by Capital One (provided Capital One shall have no obligation to so agree). If you do not have such a number and are interested in enrolling in the Services, you must contact Capital One Auto Finance Customer Service at 1-800-946-0332.

If you have more than one eligible Capital One Auto Finance account, we will automatically "link" your eligible accounts together for purposes of the Services, and all such accounts will appear in your online servicing profile on the Online Servicing Site. By enrolling in the Services, you authorize Capital One to process transactions for you as requested by you from time to time, and you authorize us to post transactions to your account(s).

Communications

You agree to receive from Capital One Auto Finance or our authorized agents, phone calls and text messages at any mobile or landline number you provide, including calls and messages made using an auto-dialer or prerecorded message.

You agree that all electronic communications that we receive on the Online Servicing Site or otherwise in connection with the Services, such as those directing us to take an action with respect to your account, that match Access Information or other identity information you have provided when enrolling in or using the Services will be deemed valid, authentic and binding obligations. Pursuant to law and regulations, these electronic communications therefore will be given the same legal effect as your written and signed paper communications, shall be considered a "writing" or "in writing" and shall be deemed for all purposes (i) to have been "signed" and (ii) to constitute an "original" when printed from electronic files or records established and maintained in the normal course of business. You agree that electronic copies of communications are valid and you will not contest the validity or enforceability of such communications or any related transactions, absent proof of altered data or tampering, under the provisions of any applicable law relating to whether certain agreements are to be in writing or signed by the party to be bound thereby, and such copies shall be admissible if introduced as evidence on paper in any judicial, arbitration, mediation, or administrative proceeding to the same extent and under the same conditions as other business records originated and maintained in documentary form.

You agree (to the maximum extent permitted by law) to hold harmless Capital One and protect and indemnify Capital One from and against any and all claims, losses, liability, damages and/or demands (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and court costs) of any kind, direct or indirect, arising out of or in any way connected with any Services rendered by Capital One pursuant to or in accordance with any and all electronic communications for which we have attempted to verify your identity as set forth above.

E-mail; Secure Messages

By enrolling in Online Servicing you agree that as a condition of using the Services you consent to receiving all transactional e-mail communications from Capital One which are directly related to your use of the Services or to your account(s) and to any disclosures that may result from Capital One sending account communications to you via the e-mail address you provide. For more information about our privacy and information-sharing practices, please visit https://www.capitalone.com/identity-protection/privacy.

BECAUSE E-MAIL IS NOT A SECURE METHOD OF COMMUNICATION OVER THE INTERNET, WE RECOMMEND YOU DO NOT SEND CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION BY E-MAIL. PLEASE BE AWARE YOU CANNOT USE E-MAIL TO INITIATE TRANSACTIONS ON YOUR ACCOUNT(S).

eAlerts

Online Servicing offers automated security. Security alerts are sent to your primary e-mail address automatically for fraud reasons when certain changes to your account occur, such as password and user ID updates, or changes in your physical or primary email address. These alerts are part of the Online Servicing service and are not optional.

You are responsible for notifying us of any changes to your e-mail, mobile device, and telephone contacts to which alerts are sent. Your full account number will not be included in any alert. However, alerts may contain our name and information about your accounts. Depending upon the alert, information pertaining to loan accounts may be included. Anyone with access to your e-mail, mobile device(s), and telephone or telephone answering machine(s) or service(s) may be able to access the contents of the alerts. It is your responsibility to secure these devices, protect your user name(s), PIN and password(s), and provide timely information about telephone or e-mail contact changes in order to protect the confidentiality of this information. You consent to any disclosures by Capital One Auto Finance which may occur if you do not take appropriate steps to prevent access to your information by unauthorized persons.

We endeavor to provide alerts in a timely manner with accurate information. However, we do not guarantee the delivery or accuracy of the contents of any alert. You agree that we shall not be liable for any delays, failure to deliver, or misdirected delivery of any alert; for any errors in the content of an alert; or for any actions taken or not taken by you or any third party in reliance on an alert.

Payments

Payment Scheduling

If you set-up a recurring payment for your Capital One Auto Finance loan account, you, an authorized signer on the designated checking or savings account, authorize Capital One Auto Finance, its successors and assigns, and the institution named, to initiate withdrawals from the designated checking or savings account for funds payable to Capital One Auto Finance. This authorization will remain in effect until you notify Capital One Auto Finance to cancel it, in such time as to afford Capital One Auto Finance a reasonable opportunity to act on it.

Please note: You can stop payment of any entry by notifying Capital One Auto Finance in accordance with the cancellation terms in your DPAY or CarPay confirmation.

If funds are unavailable at the time we attempt to debit your checking or savings account or your direct payment is not received for any reason, you will be responsible for forwarding a payment to us. If your payment is not received by the due date, you may be assessed late fees in accordance with your contract.

If you pay with a direct draft that is dishonored or returned, Capital One Auto Finance reserves the right to assess a "Returned Check Fee" in accordance with your contract. If a direct draft is returned, Capital One Auto Finance reserves the right to terminate this authorization and your participation therein.

Capital One Auto Finance will no longer issue monthly periodic statements to users who have established recurring payment instructions through Online Banking.

Capital One Auto Finance may accept online payments via debit card for some customers in some situations. Certain fees may apply.

Online Statements
