10. Right to Terminate. AACE may at any time, in its sole discretion, without notice, with or without cause, immediately terminate its consent to use the AACE logo and/or names and to link to the AACE website.

AACE reserves the right to amend its policy at any time. Any continuation of the link after notice of the change will be deemed acceptance of the modification.
    
14. No permission to use AACE’s Logo to link to AACE's web site may be assumed. Your registration information will be verified by AACE and permission acknowledged by e-mail.
    
15. A grant to link only responds to a request to link and does not constitute an endorsement of the requestor's company name, domain name or email address.
16. The ® symbol shall be used whenever the AACE Logo appears, and the following notice must be linked to, and identified with, the first appearance of the logo:
