Celtic Cultural Studies does not send or tolerate spam.* Celtic Cultural Studies only operates one e-mail account, and generally limits use of this account to replying to e-mails sent to us by readers and contributors:
Except in very rare and legitimate circumstances, we do not use this account to send unsolicited mail of any kind. If you receive an e-mail that appears to come from Celtic Cultural Studies but is not from the above address, then we simply did not send that e-mail to you. However, even legitimate e-mail addresses are occasionally the victim of hijacking (see below).
Occasionally, domain names, servers and even specific e-mail addresses can be hijacked by spammers to fraudulently send mails that look as if they came from a legitimate sender, but actually did not (cf. Terms of Use). This can happen without the account's owner being aware of the abuse, since it often sends through third party servers over which they have no control. Unfortunately, this can lead to the owner's genuine e-mail accounts being blacklisted by anti-spam services, rendering their legitimate use impossible.
If you have received any spam that appears to have come from a celtic-cultural-studies.com address (see above), in the first instance please report it to us immediately, including as much information as possible about the e-mail's origins (such as its SMTP server addresses). Please do not get us blacklisted for spamming without discussing the issue with us first — we do not send spam, and neither do we take kindly to spammers attempting to hijack our e-mail addresses for their own illegal purposes. So please help us to help you in combating illegal internet activity!
The governing legal system for all Celtic Cultural Studies disputes is U.S. Law as applied within the state of North Carolina.
* "Spam" is generally defined as unsolicited bulk e-mail, whether commercial or otherwise. It is sometimes used to distribute malware such as viruses, trojans, diallers, or spyware. In many countries (including the United States and the European Union) spamming is now prohibited by law, with new and more effective legislation being introduced on a regular basis. In some countries, spamming is now a criminal rather than merely civil offence. Celtic Cultural Studies does not send or tolerate spam.
