What this disclaimer means?

You are receiving this email because you have a customer relationship or have opted-in to an email list managed by the Emailing Entity listed below. This email was not sent to you by the company or website identified in the offer above, for which we have a separate business relationship. We have represented to such company or website that we have the affirmative right to email you with an offer on their behalf.

The best I get out of it, considering I have no customer relationship with the “Emailing Entity listed below” is “hi, we’re spammers but we lie to the people who pay us.”
