Copyrighted Materials
This usage policy provides you with guidelines to
help you avoid infringement of PCST copyrights and trademark
issues. This policy is subject to change at any time and without
notice. This policy is not intended to serve as legal advice:
should you have questions regarding your legal rights or duties,

The PCST logo, Tsunami Logo, "Catch the Wave"
slogan, and the Panama City Swim Team name are valuable property of
the Panama City Swim Team, Inc. because they represent the high
standards to which the team holds itself, its athletes, and the
information and materials it provides to members of the team.
Membership in the Panama City Swim Team does not give the member a
license to utilize any of the PCST marks, however membership does
give an individual special privileges as indicated in the
paragraphs below. Any person or group identified as utilizing the
PCTS marks for profit without the prior written authorization of
the PCST Board of Directors will be subject to prosecution.
Web Site Usage and
Linking
The power of the Internet comes from the ability to use hyperlinks
to connect web pages. Hyperlink is a tool that allows an end user
to connect to a different web page or web site by clicking on
hypertext to go to relevant information quickly. Linking directly
to PCST pages is strongly encouraged and does not require prior
permission from the PCST Board of Directors as long as the
following guidelines are observed.
Only hyperlink where there is a requirement for
information on PCST membership or programs. All links to PCST web
pages must appear as hypertext without use of the PCST logo. All
links must clearly identify that the user is leaving your site and
accessing external content. In no case should the perception be
given that PCST content is your own, nor should they imply any
affiliation, endorsement, or sponsorship of your goods and services
by PCST. In all cases the hyperlink should open a new window on the
end user computer to display the PCST pages.
Personal Use
All of the PCST marks may be used by members on name tags,
rosters, newsletters, event fliers, meet materials, and on
specialty merchandise when ordered specifically for personal use by
the member and not for resale. This usage does not require special
permission from the PCST Board of Directors as long as it is not
used to market or endorse goods or services of any kind, used to
defame PCST in any way, or used in connection with objectionable
material as determined by the Panama City Swim Team.
Commercial
Licensing
The Panama City Swim Team does license its marks for
commercial use by approved vendors. If you or your organization are
interested in offering merchandise or services branded with the
PCST marks please contact the Board of Directors. The
PCST Board of Directors reserves the right to restrict all usage of
its marks and any decision regarding their licensing. The decisions
of the board are final.
Note:
Panama City Swim Team's permission for an individual or
organization to use the marks does not create any rights to the
mark or any of its components. The Panama City Swim Team name and
all marks are and shall remain at all times the sole and exclusive
property of the Panama City Swim Team.
