CONSUMER CHOICES
Marketing Communications
By completing and submitting a registration form you are consenting to
receive marketing communications from us and our third party marketing
partners. If, after you have shared your information with the Company,
you decide that you do not want to receive marketing communications
from the Company you can discontinue the communications by
clicking here
and following the opt-out instructions. If you have registered or
submitted information under more than one e-mail account, you must
submit separate unsubscribe requests for each account.
Please
note that under the CAN-SPAM Act, an advertiser is required to provide
an opt-out mechanism for consumers to unsubscribe from future emails
about the advertiser. Although not required to by law, many email
marketers also include an opt-out mechanism to enable consumers to be
removed from their mailing list. This has caused some confusion for
consumers in opting out. The table below clarifies which opt-out
mechanism you should use.
