While we strive to ensure the safety and security of our emails and the links contained within them, we are not liable for any viruses or malicious software that may be transmitted or for any unauthorized access by hackers beyond our control. 

You may be subscribed to multiple segments on our email list, so unsubscribing to one segment may not automatically unsubscribe you from another.
