We do not yet have a mailing list, so we won't send you any unsolicited emails. If we do offer that in the future, it will be an opt in system. That is, even if you order from us, we will send, at most, one unsolicited email to see if you have any interest in getting updates. Otherwise you must specifically opt in to get them.
