Use of Information

This feature allows Users control on what frequency or whether they wish to receive newsletters and notices from us. Please do not respond to the e-newsletters with "unsubscribe" or "remove" or anything similar because this could could cause unnecessary delays in incorporating such requests. Users should be aware that it is also possible that such e-mail requests could be blocked by spam blockers and thus, never reach us.
