<p>The "Android" name, the <img src="{@docRoot}assets/images/sac-logo.png" alt="Android"
style="margin:0;padding:0 2px;vertical-align:baseline" /> logo, and
<a href="http://www.google.com/permissions/">other trademarks</a> are property of Google Inc.
You may not use the logo or the logo's custom typeface.</p>

<p>You may use the word "Android" in a product name only as a descriptor, such as "for Android"
and the first instance should be followed by a TM symbol, "for Android&trade;." In other
messaging, the word "Android" may be used in text as a descriptor, as long as it is followed by a
proper generic term (for example, "Android&trade; application"). Any use of the Android name
must include footer attribution in your communications: "Android is a trademark of Google Inc."</p>

<p>The Android Robot logo <img src="http://developer.android.com/images/robot-tiny.png" alt=""
style="margin:0;padding:0;vertical-align:baseline" /> can be used, reproduced, and modified freely
in marketing communications. Our standard color value for print is PMS 376C. Our online hex color is
#A4C639. The Android Robot logo is licensed under the terms of the <a
href="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.5/">Creative Commons Attribution</a> license and any
use of it must be attributed as such.</p>
