Setting up Scotia eDocuments
Signing up for Scotia eDocuments is a two-step process: (i) you need to provide your consent to the electronic
delivery of documents by agreeing to the following terms and conditions; and (ii) you need to select which documents
you would like to receive electronically. For accounts at ScotiaMcLeod and Scotia iTRADE,
Scotia eDocuments will be available on Scotia OnLine®. For accounts at Scotia iTRADE, Scotia eDocuments will be

Selecting Documents for Scotia eDocuments
We will provide you with a list of documents that are available electronically for your account(s) with us on the
Scotia Website. On the Scotia Website you will be able to select
either paper or paperless documents for certain document types for your account(s). By selecting
paperless documents you consent to the electronic delivery of such documents and understand and agree
that you will no longer receive such documents by mail.
The documents that are available in paperless form can change at any time. As new document types become
available we may ask if you want to receive that particular document type electronically as a paperless
document instead of a paper document.
Changing your Delivery Method
You can change from electronic paperless documents to paper documents for any of your account(s) at any time
by changing your document preferences on the Scotia Website, although it may take up to 30 days
for your change(s) to take effect.

the Scotia Website. We will notify you when documents are available by posting a
document notice to you on the Scotia Website.
You are solely responsible for verifying the Scotia Website regularly for receipt of new documents.
While official notification of new documents occurs on the Scotia Website, an e-mail reminder
service may be available to you. E-mail reminder services are optional and do not constitute an
official notification by us. We will not monitor or action any returned or rejected e-mails and we
will not be responsible for lost or undeliverable e-mails. You are responsible for ensuring that any
e-mail address you give us is accurate and up-to-date.

e-mail address by completing the “Profile and Preferences” section on the Scotia Website.
Documents delivered through Scotia eDocuments will be available on the Scotia Website for a
minimum of 30 months while your account is open and active. If you wish to preserve a permanent
copy of such documents, you should save it in your computer or print a paper copy. Other documents,
such as regulated sales disclosure documents and statement insert disclosures will be replaced as newer
versions become available.
You agree to review your account statement(s) within 30 days of our sending them to you electronically
and you will inform us in writing of any errors or omissions in your account(s) within 60 days of the date
of the statement. If you do not report any errors or omissions to us within this 60 day period you
will be deemed to have conclusively agreed to the contents of the statement and you agree that you will
have no claim against us for reimbursement relating to an entry even if the instruction charged to your
account was forged, unauthorized or fraudulent.

documents however, the technical requirements to access or view electronic documents may change.

view or print documents online, you agree to notify us immediately so that we can change your document
delivery preferences.
