If there is a conflict between a term in these terms and conditions and any other written agreement with CIBC, the term of the written agreement will apply to the extent necessary to resolve the conflict. You confirm that we may change the terms and conditions at any time, and your continued use of the secure site means you agree to the amended terms and conditions.
