Spam, includes any unsolicited or unauthorized advertising, promotional materials, “junk mail,” “spam,” “chain letters,” “pyramid schemes,” or any other form of solicitation. The term “spamming” refers to transmitting, distributing or delivering any unwanted e-mail correspondence, especially in mass quantities, through the electronic means of communication. This prohibition includes but is not limited to (a) using the Services to send messages to people who don’t know you or who are unlikely to recognize you as a known contact; and (b) collecting business cards at Events of people you did not meet and adding them to your mailing list.
