Site Policies

Status of this policy

Vintage-Yashica.com welcomes links to this website when made in accordance with the terms of this linking policy.

This linking policy is intended to assist you when linking to this website, and by using this website you agree to be bound by the terms and conditions of this linking policy should you choose to provide them.

Links from this website

• Links pointing to this website should not be misleading.
• Appropriate and understandably clear link text should always be used in your links to this site.
• From time to time the URL structure of this website may be updated, and unless Vintage-Yashica.com agrees in writing otherwise, all general links should point to the SSL secured https://Vintage-Yashica.com site address for the main domain. Links to specific articles, listings, galleries or other pages may or may not function as expected at any future date and may ‘error out’, causing a visitor's browser to be redirected via web server processing.
• You must not use the Vintage-Yashica.com logo to link to this website (or otherwise) without Vintage-Yashica.com’s express written permission. This is non-negotiable and must not be assumed acceptable under Copyright “Fair Use” principles. It is not.
• You must not link to this website using any inline linking technique.
• You must not frame the content of this website or use any similar technology in relation to presenting the content of this website. Page image thumbnails are acceptable should you choose to dynamically generate them when used as an image anchor link within a web directory or similarly based site or listing in relation to the link included to direct visitors to this site.

This website includes links to other websites owned and operated by third parties. These links are not endorsements or recommendations unless an accompanying statement is published within the same page where the link is placed to acknowledge it. Some of these links may be affiliate related links, where a modest commission fee is paid to Vintage-Yashica.com should any visitor follow these links and complete an actual purchase of the linked product. This is an unobtrusive way to offset the cost of maintaining this site, as the site contains no overt advertising to gain similar revenue.

Vintage-Yashica.com has no control over the contents of third party websites, and Vintage-Yashica.com accepts no responsibility for them or their code or conduct, or for any loss or damage that may arise from your use of these sites. You should never assume that Vintage-Yashica.com is aware of every possible issue with links which may be modified at any time and by any third Party, whether approved by that site's owners or otherwise.

Removal of links

You agree that, should Vintage-Yashica.com request the deletion of a link to our website that is within your control, you will delete the link promptly. If you would like Vintage-Yashica.com to remove a link to your site that is included on this website, please contact Vintage-Yashica.com using the contact details below. Note that unless you have a legal right to demand removal, such removal will be solely at our discretion. Do not expect an administrative action or email response with any/every request unless it requires clarification or legal action and/or notifications.

Changes to this linking policy

Vintage-Yashica.com may amend this linking policy at any time by publishing a policy revision on this website without prior notice.

Our interpretation of SPAM

In the context of electronic messaging, SPAM refers to unsolicited, bulk or indiscriminate messages, typically sent for a commercial purpose.

Vintage-Yashica.com has a zero-tolerance SPAM policy. No one here wants to receive it, or send it. It’s as simple as that.

Automated SPAM filtering

Vintage-Yashica.com's messaging systems automatically scan all incoming email (and other) messages, and filter-out any that appear to be SPAM. These messages will never be delivered to any of its intended recipients. They will, however, be logged and automatically reported as SPAM through the appropriate channels.

Problems with SPAM filtering

No message filtering system is 100% accurate, and from time to time legitimate messages may be filtered-out by Vintage-Yashica.com’s systems.

If you believe this has happened to a message you have sent, please advise the message recipient by another means - or - if you believe that anything included in your communications might have been misinterpreted as SPAM, please remove that portion before resubmitting another message.

You can reduce the risk of a message being caught by the SPAM filters by sending the message in plain text (i.e. contains no HTML or other markup language), removing any attachments or embedding links, and ensuring that your messages are pre-scanned for malware before dispatch. There are other methods in place to receive content submissions for various document and image formats, and useage directions will be provided to you when needed.

Please understand that there is no guarantee that every message will be responded to, although every effort will be made to do so, when appropriate.

User generated SPAM

Vintage-Yashica.com provides NO facility that enables site visitors, site members, or non-administrative users to send email to others. Under no circumstances does anyone (or this website's server) send unsolicited, bulk or indiscriminate messages, whether or not for a commercial purpose. Further terms and conditions concerning the use of site messages are set out in the posted Privacy Policy linked to on the site.

Receipt of unwanted messages from Vintage-Yashica.com

In the unlikely event that you receive any unwanted communication that you believe originated from Vintage-Yashica.com - or you have reason to believe they were sent using Vintage-Yashica.com’s systems and may reasonably be considered to be SPAM or infected material - please contact Vintage-Yashica.com using the details below and the matter will be promptly investigated. NOTE: Any unsolicited message that appears to originate from Vintage-Yashica.com and seems to be commercial in nature, is likely a fraudulent message and should be ignored and promptly deleted.

Changes to this Anti-SPAM policy

Vintage-Yashica.com may amend this anti-spam policy at any time by publishing a revision on this website.
