Invitations and other communications to non-members

TheNepaliClub members can invite friends to join the service by sending invitation emails via our automated invitation system. The TheNepaliClub Site stores the email addresses that members provide so that the respondents may be added to the friend's list of the member sending the invitations, and also to send reminders of the invitations. The TheNepaliClub Site does not sell these email addresses or use them to send any other communication besides invitations, invitation reminders (up to three (3) per email address). Recipients of invitations from TheNepaliClub may contact the TheNepaliClub Site to request the removal of their information from our database.

TheNepaliClub members may also store email addresses of people they know in their internal TheNepaliClub address book and may also choose to send invitations and other communications to those addresses.
