Important News About Honda Style

[Chief]

Hey gang,

I've got some important news to share regarding Honda Style.

We recently received a letter from American Honda Motor Co (AHM) regarding the use of "Honda" in the domain and have been sent a cease and desist letter. From my understanding, this is an ongoing process by Honda - we're not the first site, and we certainly won't be the last site to be hit by this.

Here's an excerpt so you can get the gist of the letter:

The use of Honda trademark must cease immediately. "HONDA" must not be used as a part of a domain name, Internet websites, invoices, order forms, promotional materials, directory listings, advertisements, mailers, letterhead, or on other items.

The improper use of AHM's (American Honda Motors) marks and the overall impressions of your advertisements create the false impression that Hondastyle.com is associated with, endorsed, sponsored or licensed by AHM. The creation of this false impression must cease immediately.

AHM demands that you provide to us your written assurances within ten (10) days that you will cease all of these violations.

So what does this mean to you?
Nothing as bad as it may intially sound. We are basically going to have to change the url to something without "Honda" in the name. We are in the process of moving the site over to the new domain. Once this is complete, we will notify you all of the new location and put some redirects in place for those of you that may forget. Basically everything will remain the same - same crew, same members, same great info - just a different url and site name. Hope you'll all continue to support the site.

Thanks,
Chris
