Trademark

All CEA-related trademarks on the CEA Site (collectively “CEA Trademarks”) are registered trademarks in the United States and other countries. To the extent your use of CEA Trademarks does not constitute “fair use” for which you do not need our permission, the following rules apply to use of the material:

You may not use the CEA Trademarks for any product or service that does not belong to the CEA, nor in any manner that is likely to cause confusion about whether we are the source, affiliated with, sponsor of or endorser of any product or service. In addition, you may not use the CEA Trademarks in any manner that illegally disparages or discredits us.

At times, the trademark of a third party (such as a sponsor or member) will appear on the CEA Site (“Third-Party Trademarks”). Your ability to use a Third-Party Trademark that appears on the CEA Site is limited to the manner, if any, in which the CEA Site explicitly states on the page on which such Third-Party Trademark appears that such use in such manner is authorized by the third-party owner of that Third-Party Trademark (unless your use is permissible under the law (e.g., it is “fair use”) or the owner of such Third-Party Trademark has specifically granted you the right to such use in such manner).

Frames and Metatags

You may not frame the content of the CEA Site. You may not use metatags or any other “hidden text” that incorporates CEA or the CEA Trademarks or our members’ or sponsors’ or CEA’s name without our express written consent.
