While ACA-ACCREDITED® camps, business affiliates, business partners, and individual members in good standing may use the Logos in accordance with the following terms and conditions, and in accordance with the Logo Usage Guidelines, such use shall always be at the ACA's Discretion. Use of one or more of the Logos shall constitute consideration for, agreement to, and acceptance of the following terms and conditions of this license by the user:

The Logos are the sole and exclusive intellectual property of ACA. The Logos may be used only by ACA-Accredited camps in good standing, or organizations with prior permission of ACA, if and only if such use is made pursuant to the terms and conditions of this limited and revocable license. Any failure by a user to comply with the terms and conditions contained herein may result in the immediate revocation of this license, in addition to any other sanctions imposed by ACA.

The Logos may not be revised or altered in any way, and must be displayed in the same form as produced by ACA.

The Logos may be used in a professional manner on the user's Web site, business cards, stationery, literature, advertisements, storefront window, or in any other comparable manner to signify the user's membership in ACA. The Logos may never be used independent of the term "ACCREDITED," "BUSINESS AFFILIATE," or "BUSINESS PARTNER."

Use of the Logos shall create no rights for users in or to the Logos or their use beyond the terms and conditions of this limited and revocable license. ACA reserves the right to request samples of use of the Logos in order to determine compliance with these terms and conditions. Without further notice, ACA reserves the right to prohibit use of the Logos if it determines that a user's Logo usage, whether willful or negligent, is not in strict accordance with the terms and conditions of this license, otherwise could discredit ACA or tarnish its reputation and goodwill, or the user is not an ACA ACCREDITED® camp, business affiliate, business partner, or individual member in good standing. The ACA may revoke this license for any reason it sees fit upon written notification to you.
