Read that more carefully. It states that an MOT may not PM or email in response to a general request or any other discussion in the forums. It specifically does not contemplate an MOT's response to an unsolicited PM from another member. Further, if you read the entire TOU, then you will note that the spirit of the policy with respect to PMs/Emails is that the functionality is not to be used BY THE MOT to provide unsolicited informationto members. The TOU is silent with respect to an MOT's response to a member's question (i.e., a response is solicited by the member, or put another way, an unsolicited question to an MOT). Therefore, as I read it, the TOU appear to permit an MOT to respond to a member's specific question about the MOT's product via PM. And it makes sense to allow such activity.
