All content on Mizunouse—including logos, product images, descriptions, sport guides, and brand names—is the property of Mizunouse or our licensors, protected by copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws. You agree to:

  • Not use our trademarks (e.g., “Mizunouse,” sport-specific gear line names like “ProRun” or “GolfFlex”) in any way that confuses customers or implies unauthorized affiliation.
