TRADEMARK & BRANDING GUIDELINES: Resellers are expected to properly publish online and in print MIP™, MIP CVD™, MIP X-Duty CVD™, RealShocks.com™, MIP Bypass1™, MIP SpeedTips™ and other Trademarks of MIP. MIP is the originator of the constant velocity drive in the RC car marketplace and and has been using the trademark MIP CVD™ in commerce for many decades. MIP advises brands of other drives and axles NOT manufactured by MIP to label them CVA, CV drives, CV axles, CV joints, universals, dogbones, or other non-conflicting terms. Please do not label MIP products generically as “X-Duty or CVDs " without the MIP brand. Please do not label other RC axle and drive products not manufactured by MIP as “CVDs" as this practice causes confusion in the marketplace. Resellers of MIPTM branded products lead the branding and imagery and must assure any published descriptions in print or online follow these branding guidelines such that they are suitable for direct import by dealers, retailers, and advertisers.

            INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY & NON-COMPETE: The Reseller shall not do or authorize any third party or partner with any third party to do any act, design, develop, create or manufacture any product which would or might invalidate, compete with, or be inconsistent with any of the Trademarks, Products, or any other Intellectual Property of MIP. Resellers shall promptly and fully notify MIP of any actual, threatened, or suspected infringement in the Worldwide Territory of any of the Trademarks, Products, or any other Intellectual Property of MIP which comes to the Reseller’s notice, and of any claim or threatened claim by any third party that the importation or Sale of Goods into the Territory infringes the Intellectual Property rights of another. In the event the relationship with MIP is terminated, MIP Resellers shall not, for a period of at least one year, be concerned or interested, either directly or indirectly, in the manufacture of any goods or products which compete with any of the MIP Products and Goods.
