This is to ensure that only you yourself, as the user of the e-mail address provided, can register with the newsletter service. Your confirmation must take place promptly after we send the e-mail, otherwise your registration and e-mail address will be deleted from our database. Until you confirm your registration, our newsletter service will not accept any further registrations under this e-mail address.
