to link to our Web site as an informational and educational resource.
However, every Web site that refers to or uses the name Deborah must accept the
responsibility of maintaining and promoting the goodwill and reputation that Deborah
has developed over the years. Although we, at Deborah, encourage the interaction
and exchange of information between and among our Web site and links to other

to as, "Licensee") will be allowed to refer or use the name Deborah without first
obtaining Deborah's approval and prior written permission. To obtain Deborah's
permission, you can complete the attached application and submit the application
to Deborah's Executive Offices [click here for the application]. Deborah reserves
the right to revoke any permission given to a Licensee to refer or use the name
Deborah or any of our other service marks and logos, at any time and for any or
no reason, in Deborah's sole discretion. Any Licensee Web site that refers
to or uses the name Deborah will cause to appear on the last page of its Web site
and on any legal notices, disclaimers or similar page of such Web site, a notice
to the following effect: "DEBORAH" and the Heart and D logo and any other
Deborah trademarks that Licensee is authorized to use are registered trademarks
of Deborah Heart and Lung Center." Because Deborah has no control over
links to other Web sites or resources, all users of the Deborah Web site acknowledge
and agree that Deborah is not responsible for the availability of such external
sites or resources.
Linking
to Deborah's Web site: In
addition to obtaining the prior written authorization of Deborah to refer to or
use the name Deborah on other Web sites, we require that all Licensees provide
a link between their Web sites to Deborah's Web site. This will help ensure that
any information provided by a Licensee to a user about Deborah is complete, current
and accurate. Because Licensees will post an access link to Deborah's Web site,
users of Licensee Web sites will have the ability to verify information presented
to them about Deborah. Licensees are prohibited from establishing a link
to this Web site without first obtaining the express written permission of Deborah.
Any sites linked to this Web site may have different terms of use, so all users

site and is not responsible for their content. Accessing linked sites is at your

Deborah does not authorize any users and Licensees to seek donations on the Internet
on behalf of Deborah without the prior written authorization of Deborah's Executive

from the Licensee to Deborah's own Web site, recognition will be given to such
Licensee, as determined by Deborah, in its sole discretion, in accordance with
Deborah's policies and procedures. Disclosure
