  5. where required, or permitted, by law.

9. Opt outs:

You may opt out of receiving commercial electronic messages from us by using the unsubscribe facility we provide in the message. However, please note that as the database we operate for the Neon Services is separate from the database we use for our other services, you agree that you may have to opt out of receiving commercial electronic messages about the Neon Services and our other services separately (and sometimes this may mean that in order to stop receiving commercial electronic messages from us altogether, you will need to opt out more than once). Subject to the previous sentence, we will handle all opt-out requests in accordance with the Unsolicited Electronic Messages Act 2007.
