A Note About Forged Headers

The CAA does not send out unsolicited messages (spam) but you may receive messages that appear to come from us. This is known as forging headers—where the perpetrator sends out messages with someone else's email address as the apparent source.

We suggest that you do not follow the links on such messages. Anyone afraid to reveal their own address is not the sort of person you want to do business with.

Reliability of Information

The provision of dates and other specific information on this site does not form a contract with the viewer.
