Overview
Tableandplate is committed to maintaining a communication environment that is respectful, relevant, and free from unsolicited or deceptive messaging. This Anti-Spam Policy outlines the standards we uphold and the obligations of anyone who uses our platform, services, or communication channels.
By using any feature of tableandplate.net that involves sending or receiving communications, you agree to comply with this policy in full.

- Sending bulk messages with no legitimate relationship to the recipient
- Using misleading subject lines, sender names, or headers to disguise the origin or nature of a message
- Harvesting email addresses or contact information from our platform without authorisation
- Using automated tools to submit repeated or duplicate content through our contact or submission forms
- Distributing messages that contain malware, phishing links, or deceptive content
- Disguising the true purpose of a communication through false or misleading representation
Our Commitments to You
