If you want to receive our newsletter, we need your mail address. To receive the newsletter we verify your mail address by „double opt-in“, which means after you requested the newsletter, we send you a confirmation which you then have to verify again.

If you decide, not to receive anymore mails from us, you can simply unsubscribe via the link in one of our mails or by requesting it personally via paula@lavieenmarine.com. Once you have done this, we will remove your mail address from our data base, so we will no longer bother you. When you change your mind about it, you can simply request the newsletter anew like described above.
