Permission is granted to electronically copy and to print hard copy portions of this site for the sole purpose of placing an order with any Epicurus Group websites or any of its affiliates using this site as a shopping resource.

Mailing Lists

Epicurus reserves the right to use the email address of any person or other entity who places his or her email address into, upon or within any page of this site exclusively for the purposes of mailing Epicurus Newsletters or offers directly, and exclusively from Epicurus. We do not distribute, sell, share or otherwise make available our email lists or other contact information collected from voluntary placement on this site to any entity, person or business. Mailing lists and visitor names are not sold, bartered or distributed. If you are on our mailing list or a subscriber to our magazine, it is because you either signed up for it or you have used our facilities within the site or received the benefits thereof via the addition of your email address by a friend, family member or other person of your knowledge. To remove yourself from our lists, you have only to visit our Newsletter page and unsubscribe yourself. You will be removed from the list. However, it is important to enter all the relevant information. We hereby guaranty that we will not re-use your information on any other lists or distribute your information, E-Mail address or other information about you in any manner, whatsoever.

NOTE: - Persons who email any inflammatory, nasty, rude or otherwise unacceptable demands or threats to be removed from the list will not be removed. Nor will any person accusing THE EPICURUS GROUP or any of its employees of spamming to any agency, our hosting company or government agencies, be removed by us in a voluntary manner. Such behavior is not necessary and will not result in your desired effect. You can simply follow that link and remove your own name. The EPICURUS GROUP does not spam, nor do we appreciate being spammed, or spoofed.

From time to time, our domain name is "spoofed", where someone maliciously creates and sends out emails, often containing viruses, using a false or copied email address from our site. Our newsletters, emails and automated responses have very clear formats and language. Should you receive an email purporting to be from Epicurus, that contains solicitations of any kind, please feel free to dispose of that email quickly. All photos in our emails are embedded, where the fake emails have attached images. This is the easiest way to tell which is real and which is fake. Please contact us if you have received such an email. The Epicurus Group is not responsible for any consequences of a spoofed email.
