Logo Usage for Commercial Purposes Requires Written Permission. The Club Logo is a valuable property of the Club, and revenues generated by sales of CISC Logo-bearing items are strictly subject to the direction and control of CISC.

If permission for a commercial purpose is granted, such as a team fundraising activity, all proceeds from those sales must go directly into Team accounts and not to an individual or individuals’ personal bank accounts.
