ANTI-SPAM

Quadra is committed to providing transparency with respect to its practices in complying with Canada’s anti-spam laws (“CASL”). From time to time, Quadra may send commercial electronic messages (“CEMs”), including (i) to our current or potential clients (whether individuals or businesses) (e.g., for prospecting purposes or to respond to an inquiry or request for information); and (ii) to our current or potential service providers or business partners. Quadra may also delegate the distribution of Quadra CEMs to a third party service provider, in which case the CEM will be identified as being sent on behalf of Quadra.

Quadra only sends CEMs to those recipients that have either provided their express consent to receive CEMs from Quadra, or where permitted by law, including without limitation (i) due to an existing business relationship between Quadra and you; (ii) within a certain period after the end of any such business relationship; (iii) within a certain period after an inquiry or request for information by you; (iv) in the form of a single CEM, following a referral by a current Quadra client, service provider, business partner, or employee who also has a personal, family, or business relationship with you; or (v) in the event that you conspicuously published your email address or voluntarily disclosed it to Quadra or one of our employees or agents.

Quadra is also committed to providing transparency with respect to its practices in complying with the United States commercial email legislation (“CAN-SPAM”). Quadra only sends CEMs that: (i) are properly identified as an solicitation or advertisement, when applicable; (ii) offer an unsubscribe mechanism, as described below; and (iii) contain a legitimate return email address and Quadra’s postal address.

If you wish to stop receiving commercial electronic messages from Quadra, you may do so by using the unsubscribe mechanism found at the bottom of any Quadra CEM, or by contacting us at privacy@quadragroup.com with “UNSUBSCRIBE” in the subject header. We will remove your electronic address from our mailing list within 10 business days.
