  • The appearance, position and other attributes of the link may not create the false impression that an organization or entity is sponsored by, affiliated with or associated with SAMTD or that views expressed on the website are those of SAMTD. SAMTD reserves the right to require that the linking website include notice stating that it is an unofficial web site and is not endorsed by, sponsored by or affiliated with SAMTD and that any views expressed on the website are not those of SAMTD; and
