You agree not to reproduce by any means any image, photo or picture found on autonationals.com unless specifically granted permission to do so by us in writing or by the nature of its associated license when applicable.

9. Trademarks
Autonationals.com very selectively displays identical vector image copies of registered automotive manufacturer’s trademarks and copyrighted logos for the purposes of identification and/or critical commentary. These images are of low-resolution quality and are only as big as required to convey their intended effect as determined by their respectful owners. These are logos of organizations based in the United States and the images are hosted on servers within the United States, do not copy or distribute them without permission or without fully understanding the law surrounding them. IN ALL CASES the entire logo is used without being altered to convey the meaning intended and avoid tarnishing or misrepresenting the intended company image.

All 3rd party logos found on AutoNationals.com serve as a primary means of visually identifying the subject of the article or discussion and provides an illustration of the entity that the logo represents. Furthermore, the image is being used in an informational capacity and thus contributes to the article/discussion as a whole. An example can be found on the index page of the AutoNationals.com forums where each logo represents itself as an independent subject. The logos are NOT repeated on every page within their respective forum because they are no longer needed to differentiate each forum topic. Pages, such as the forum index page where respective logos can be found, are void of advertising for members to ensure the spirit of “non-profit use” is upheld.

AutoNationals.com believes that by strictly enforcing the use of 3rd party logos as detailed above a positive reflection and experience can be achieved for each individual copyright holder. Because these 3rd party images are logos there is almost certainly no free equivalent. Any substitute that is not a derivative work would fail to convey the meaning intended, would tarnish or misrepresent its image, or would fail its purpose of identification or commentary. It is believed that use of the logos in the manner, spirit and method described here results in compliance with United States fair use copyright laws.

Any of the trademarks, service marks, collective marks, design rights or similar rights that are mentioned, used or cited in the articles of AutoNationals.com are the property of their respective owners. Their use here does not imply that you may use them for any other purpose other than for the same or a similar informational use as contemplated by the original authors of these articles under GFDL licensing. Unless otherwise stated Autonationals.com is neither endorsed by nor affiliated with any of the holders of any such rights and as such Autonationals.com cannot grant any rights to use any otherwise protected materials. Your use of any such or similar incorporeal property is at your own risk.

10.General – By participating on Autonationals.com you agree to the spirit of the website which is to help promote all things related to the hobby of restoring, displaying, collecting, buying, selling and racing cars, particularly old, classic, hot rod, muscle or drag cars and agree that you will help uphold that spirit or in the least not detract from it. This website, much like any website, is only as valuable as the effort everyone puts into it as well as the use drawn from it.
