Permitted use of (c) materials (from the Farmers website).
On this site I am using a modified Farmers logo
graphic. The modification is designed in such a way to ensure no confusion as to
whether this site is connected to FIG and is consistent with the terms and
conditions of use. The amount of data quoted on this site (TOS and the graphic)
represent a very small portion of the total data available and as such are
permitted by the TOS. Emphasis in yellow is added by me. The original graphic is
(c) by Farmers Insurance / FIG.
These terms were last updated on February 8, 2001.

Remember:US Code Title15, Chapter22, Subchapter III, ss1125,(d)(1)(B)(i)(IV). Fair use includes comparative advertising, comment, criticism, or parody, even where done for profit. Though quite honestly I doubt I'll turn a positive cash flow from this site :-)
Furtheremore, this ad is for a service unrelated to the business of the company discussed on this site, and as such, is completely non-competitive in nature.
