+ +c. +Should +the Company come to be or already be included in promotional material, as a +result of any prior purchases where the Company did not request exclusion from +the promotional material, the Company can at any point, submit a written +request via e-mail to marketing@knowledgetree.com to have KT remove the +Company’s name from the promotional material.
