Branding:

a) HOT is properly referred to as HomesOpenToday.com if written in plain text. Writing the name as the full domain of HomesOpenToday.com every time improves the branding and value of the product. The acronym HOT is acceptable to use so long as it is always used in conjunction with the fully expressed domain name HomesOpenToday.com (whether in text or graphic form).
b) Branding and attribution for HOT should not be confused with any branding marks or attributions on your own website. Adding a link to HomesOpenToday.com is a great way to promote the product and add value to your own site, but should not be done in a fashion that confuses the origin of the HOT website. Please read the following excerpt from the full Acceptable Use Policy on this point:
"Any link to the “HomesOpenToday.com©” web site homepage must be accompanied by a clear and prominent attribution indicating that the link is connected to the “HomesOpenToday.com©” web site... For example, prominently positioning the " HomesOpenToday.com© " name and mark so that there is clear association between the name and mark and the destination of the link is acceptable. However, you agree that you will not juxtapose the " HomesOpenToday.com©" name and mark and the link with your name or any other material(s) in a manner which might give rise to any erroneous conclusion..." as to its origins or ownership.
c) All of the branding materials, aesthetics, domain names, and functionality of the HomesOpenToday.com website are the sole property of CCAR and may not be used in any other fashion than stated above and in the Acceptable Use Policy.
5. CCAR will periodically ensure that all member websites that link to HomesOpenToday.com do so following these parameters, and reserves the right to block access to the site in response to violations of the HOT Acceptable Use Policy.
