It is agreed that the right to use the Toastmasters emblem, the name Toastmaster or Toastmasters International shall be conditioned upon permission for such use being granted by Toastmasters International; such use shall be discontinued if Charter is not granted, or if applicant club shall be required to do so at any time in the future for cause by Toastmasters International.
