In the context of electronic messaging, spam refers to unsolicited, bulk or indiscriminate messages, typically sent for a commercial purpose.
gearguide.co has a zero-tolerance spam policy.
gearguide.co’s messaging systems automatically scan all incoming email [and other] messages, and filter-out messages that appear to be spam.
No message filtering system is 100% accurate, and from time to time legitimate messages will be filtered-out by gearguide.co’s systems.
If you believe this has happened to a message you have sent, please advise the message recipient by another means.
You can reduce the risk of a message being caught by the spam filters by sending the message in plain text (i.e. no HTML), removing any attachments, and ensuring that your messages are scanned for malware before dispatch.
If gearguide.co provides a facility that enables users to send [email messages / private messages] to others, such a facility may not be used by users of gearguide.co to send unsolicited, bulk or indiscriminate messages, whether or not for a commercial purposes.
In the unlikely event that you receive any message from gearguide.co or sent using gearguide.co’s systems that may be considered to be spam, please contact gearguide.co using the details below and the matter will be investigated.
gearguide.co may amend this anti-spam policy at any time by publishing a new version on this website.
Should you have any questions about this anti-spam policy, please contact gearguide.co via the contact page.
