3. Data and Privacy Protection:
   1. The email address used in this email is used for the purpose of conveying this message and related messages only. The email address may not be used for any other purpose unless the parties to this email have opted for such other use.

We may use your email address to send you an email to get your Consent (opt-in) before we can send you any direct marketing material by way of electronic communications.
4. Agreements Online: No agreement will be concluded by electronic communications, unless an authorised representative of DANSA has confirmed such an agreement by return email (auto-response excluded) and subject to contract law in general.
5. Mobile Devices: The use of mobile devices may make the reading of the entirety of an incoming email, especially a chain of email correspondence, and its attachments, difficult, impractical or impossible. Accordingly, recipients of emails from DANSA should allow for the fact that where an email has been sent from a mobile device, the sender may not have read and considered the entirety of an incoming email and its attachments and may not be fully aware of its contents. Such recipients should consider seeking confirmation of any advice so given before it is relied upon.
6. Limitation of Liability:
   • As the integrity of this message cannot be secured on the Internet, DANSA’s liability cannot be triggered by the content of this message.
   • Although the sender endeavours to maintain a computer-virus-free network, the sender does not warrant that this transmission is virus-free and will not be liable for any damages resulting from any virus howsoever transmitted.
   • DANSA WILL UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES BE LIABLE FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES AND/ OR EXPENSES OR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS OF WHATSOEVER NATURE, AS A RESULT OF, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, CORRUPTED DATA, LOSS OF DATA OR NON-FUNCTIONALITY OF INFORMATION SYSTEMS, EVEN IF THE SENDER OF THIS EMAIL HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY.
   • The views and opinions of the individuals expressed in this email may not reflect the views and opinions of DANSA. The purpose of the email facility at DANSA is to convey official DANSA communications. DANSA will not be liable for any content, opinions or views where the email facility was utilised for any other purpose than as explained above. The sender of this email is expressly required not to make any defamatory statements.

7. Time of Receipt: Despite a possible auto-response confirmation that an email has been received at DANSA, an email shall only be deemed to have been received at DANSA when the recipient at DANSA has received and read it. Return email messages blocked by DANSA’s anti-virus or filtering applications shall not be deemed to have been received by DANSA or the addressee.
8. Interception of Communications: DANSA has a duty to manage and retain certain records and mitigate possible risks, for example, to ensure that DANSA’s online platform is an environment free of malicious programs such as viruses, Trojans and spyware, and therefore reserves the right to intercept, monitor, copy (retain) or block email messages to and from DANSA. Should you respond to this email, you consent that your email will be subject to DANSA’s email filtering, scanning, monitoring and blocking procedures.
