14. Unsolicited e-mail
If you have received an unsolicited e-mail from NSS, you may have received it from a third party not affiliated in any way with NSS. NSS does not engage in, nor do we condone the practice of sending out mass emails that are unsolicited by their recipients. Unfortunately, some third parties and individuals can create e-mail messages with forged addresses in the FROM: field. This can have the effect of making the message look more legitimate. If you receive such an e-mail, please be aware that these messages originate completely outside of NSS’s e-mail system and therefore we have little or no control over them. In most cases we may not even know this is taking place.

Please be sure that we are taking every measure available to us to prevent this type of occurrence but, at this time we are unable to guarantee that it can be completely eliminated. Additionally, if we do send e-mail to our customers, we will, where appropriate, allow the recipient to request not to be contacted in the future.
