Ideally, but I think they have so many people signed on they can't
police them, so you can only use their logo and trademarks in the ways
they allow. That would also mean only on their websites.

In my mind, that is yet another reason to NOT do business with them or
depend on them and their product for income. As a business owner, I
just can't see why people would put up with with all the silly
restrictions MLMs ahve.
