15. Contact Information
If you have any questions regarding these Terms of Use, or if you have any other questions regarding the Site, please contact UMS at info@umsol.net.

UMS trademarks and service marks ("UMS trademarks") are valuable assets that UMS needs to protect. We ask that you help us by properly using and crediting UMS trademarks in accordance with these guidelines. For information about proper use of UMS logos, logotypes, signatures, and design marks, please review the Third Party Usage Guidelines for UMS Logos.

Permissible Use
You may generally use UMS trademarks to refer to the associated UMS products or services. For instance, an authorized reseller can note in its advertisements that it is selling the UMS application server. Similarly, an UMS customer may issue a press release stating that it has implemented UMS software.

Relationship of Products or Services
You may indicate the relationship of your products or services to UMS products or services by using accurate, descriptive tag lines such as "works with UMS software" in connection with your product or service name. Within text or body copy, such tag lines may appear in the same type as your product or service name. On product, packaging, advertising and other collateral where your product or service name is displayed apart from body copy, make sure that the tag line appears in significantly smaller type than your name. You should also distinguish the tag line from your mark by using a different font or color. However, UMS or the tag line should never appear in the UMS red color. This is important to avert any implication that your product or service is produced or endorsed by UMS.

Titles
UMS permits use of its marks in single volume book titles (not magazines or periodicals) where such use is descriptive or referential. To avoid misleading the public as to UMS sponsorship, affiliation or endorsement, the UMS mark must not appear more prominently than the rest of the title, and do not use UMS logos on the cover. In addition, we request that you include a disclaimer of association with UMS on the copyright page.

Prohibited Use
You may not use UMS trademarks in a manner which could cause confusion as to UMS sponsorship, affiliation or endorsement. Take particular care not to use UMS marks as set out below.

Company, Product or Service Names
Do not use UMS trademarks or potentially confusing variations as all or part of your company, product or service names. If you wish to note the relationship of your products or services to UMS products or services, please use an appropriate tag line as detailed below. For example, "XYZ for UMS database" not "UMSXYZ or XYZ UMS"

Logos
For more information regarding use of UMS logos, please review the Third Party Usage Guidelines for UMS Logos.

Trade Dress
You must not imitate UMS trade dress, type style or logos. For instance, do not copy UMS packaging for use with your product or display your product name in the distinctive logotype associated with the UMS logo.

Domain Names
Do not use UMS trademarks or potentially confusing variations in your Internet domain name. This helps prevent Internet users from being confused as to whether you or UMS is the source of the Web site.

Correct Use
Proper use of UMS trademarks reinforces their role as brands for our products and services, and helps prevent them from becoming generic names that can be used by anyone. Examples of former trademarks that became generic terms are "aspirin," "cellophane," and "escalator." By adhering to the following rules, you help protect the UMS investment in its trademarks.

Use as Adjectives
UMS trademarks are adjectives and should not be used as nouns, or in the possessive or plural form. For example, "UMS asset management benefits.." not "UMS's benefits..."

Avoid Variations
Do not vary UMS trademarks by changing their spelling or abbreviating them. For example, "UMS knowITall Suite" not "Know it All."
