All names, logos, symbols, insignia, emblems, designs, crests, marks, slogans, taglines, trade dress, graphics, and other brand identifiers displayed on this website that are identified with the ™, ℠, or ® symbol, or that otherwise function as source identifiers, are trademarks, service marks, registered trademarks, or other proprietary intellectual property.
The use, reproduction, copying, modification, adaptation, distribution, publication, display, transmission, imitation, incorporation, or commercial exploitation of any protected brand name, wordmark, symbol, logo, design, emblem, insignia, or other proprietary brand element without prior written authorization is prohibited except as otherwise permitted by applicable law.
Use of any protected brand asset requires prior written authorization unless such use is otherwise expressly permitted by applicable law.
Nothing contained on this website shall be construed as granting, whether by implication, estoppel, or otherwise, any license, ownership interest, permission, or right to use any trademark, service mark, trade name, logo, symbol, design, copyrighted work, or other intellectual property displayed or referenced on this website.
Access to or use of this website does not transfer any intellectual property rights to the user.
Any authorized use of protected brand assets must comply with all applicable written licensing agreements, brand standards, usage guidelines, and other conditions established by the applicable intellectual property owner or authorized representative.
Protection may apply individually and collectively to, among other things:
Company, subsidiary, division, product, service, program, and brand names;

Wordmarks, stylized lettering, slogans, taglines, and distinctive terminology;
Proprietary designs, artwork, illustrations, characters, mascots, and visual identities;

Other intellectual property used to identify or distinguish companies, products, services, programs, or brands.
The absence of a ™, ℠, or ® designation on a particular page, image, document, product, service, or other material does not constitute a waiver of any intellectual property rights that may exist in that mark or material.
Except where expressly authorized in writing or otherwise permitted by applicable law, protected brand assets may not be used in a manner that:
Suggests sponsorship, endorsement, affiliation, partnership, approval, certification, or authorization where none exists;
Creates a likelihood of confusion regarding the source, origin, ownership, sponsorship, or affiliation of goods or services;
Uses a protected brand asset as, or as part of, another business name, product name, service name, domain name, social-media identifier, username, logo, or trademark;
Alters, distorts, modifies, recreates, or incorporates a protected brand asset into another mark or design;
Produces or promotes unauthorized merchandise, apparel, digital products, promotional materials, advertisements, or commercial goods;
Misrepresents ownership of or rights in protected intellectual property; or
Otherwise infringes or violates applicable trademark, copyright, unfair-competition, or other intellectual-property laws.
We actively protect our intellectual property and reserve all rights and remedies available under applicable federal, state, and international law.
Unauthorized use of protected intellectual property may result in appropriate enforcement action, including demands to cease unauthorized use and, where warranted, pursuit of available legal or equitable remedies.
Failure to enforce any intellectual property right in a particular circumstance shall not constitute a waiver of that right or of the right to enforce it in the future.
Any third-party trademarks, service marks, trade names, logos, copyrights, or other intellectual property appearing on this website remain the property of their respective owners.
Their appearance on this website does not necessarily imply sponsorship, endorsement, affiliation, partnership, or approval by either party unless expressly stated.
