Trademark and Non-Affiliation Notice

DRAFT — PENDING ATTORNEY REVIEW. This notice is a draft prepared to assist legal review. It has not been reviewed or cleared by an attorney and must not be treated as legal advice or as a final, approved legal notice. Do not publish or rely on it until qualified legal counsel has reviewed and approved it. See the Reviewer checklist below.

This notice applies to the Excalibur.Dispatch.Compat.MediatR package (the "compatibility package") and to the MediatR migration documentation it accompanies.

TRADEMARK ATTRIBUTION​

"MediatR" and any associated names, logos, and marks are trademarks or registered trademarks of the MediatR project and its respective owner(s). [VERIFY] The exact trademark owner, registration status, and the correct trademark/registered-trademark symbols should be confirmed by counsel. [LEGAL REVIEW NEEDED]

Excalibur.Dispatch does not own and claims no rights in the "MediatR" name or any related mark. Any reference to "MediatR" in the compatibility package, its source, its identifiers, or its documentation is made solely on a nominative and descriptive basis — to accurately identify the third-party library with which the compatibility surface is intended to be source-compatible, and to help users migrate away from it. Such references are not intended to suggest any commercial relationship, origin, or association. [JURISDICTION-SPECIFIC] The availability and scope of nominative or descriptive fair use of a trademark vary by jurisdiction and should be confirmed by counsel.

NO AFFILIATION OR ENDORSEMENT​

Excalibur.Dispatch and the Excalibur.Dispatch.Compat.MediatR compatibility package are independent works. They are not affiliated with, sponsored by, endorsed by, or otherwise associated with the MediatR project or its owner(s). The MediatR project and its owner(s) have not reviewed, approved, certified, or endorsed Excalibur.Dispatch, the compatibility package, or this documentation. No statement in this documentation should be read as a representation by, or on behalf of, the MediatR project or its owner(s).

PURPOSE LIMITATION​

The compatibility package exists solely to assist interoperability and migration. It provides an independently developed, API-compatible surface (for example, request, notification, handler, sender, and publisher abstractions) so that existing application code written against the third-party library can compile and run against Excalibur.Dispatch with minimal changes.

The compatibility package is not a copy, fork, or redistribution of the MediatR project's source code. It is an independent implementation that mirrors a public API shape for interoperability purposes only. [VERIFY] Counsel should confirm that the compatibility surface as shipped contains only independently authored code and does not incorporate or redistribute third-party source, and should confirm the licensing posture of any API elements reproduced for compatibility. [LEGAL REVIEW NEEDED]

This documentation does not constitute legal advice and no legal advice is provided through your use of the compatibility package or this documentation. Migrating between software libraries can carry licensing and other legal obligations that depend on your specific circumstances.

You remain solely responsible for your own license compliance with respect to any third-party software you migrate from or to, including the third-party library identified in this documentation. Before relying on the compatibility package, you must conduct your own independent review, testing, and validation — including a license-compliance assessment — and should consult qualified legal counsel regarding your specific obligations. Excalibur.Dispatch does not guarantee that any particular migration path satisfies your licensing or other legal requirements, and does not guarantee any particular outcome.

NO WARRANTY​

THE COMPATIBILITY PACKAGE AND THIS DOCUMENTATION ARE PROVIDED "AS IS", WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law. The full warranty terms are governed by the software's open-source license. [VERIFY] Confirm the wording matches the package's actual license (for example, an MIT-style license) and that the "AS IS" language is consistent with that license text.

LIMITATION OF LIABILITY​

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the authors and copyright holders of Excalibur.Dispatch assume no liability and shall not be liable for any claim, damages, or other liability — whether in an action of contract, tort, or otherwise — arising from, out of, or in connection with the compatibility package, this documentation, or their use. The limitation and exclusion of liability are governed by the software's open-source license. [JURISDICTION-SPECIFIC] Some jurisdictions (including under EU and Member State consumer protection law) restrict the exclusion or limitation of certain liabilities; counsel should confirm the appropriate limiting language for each target market and add an EU-equivalent formulation (for example, "to the extent permitted under applicable law") where required.

Reviewer checklist (for counsel)​

This draft requires attorney review before publication. At minimum, counsel should confirm:

  • Exact trademark owner name and legal entity for the "MediatR" mark, and the correct mark symbols (™ / ®) and placement.
  • Registration status of the mark in each relevant jurisdiction.
  • That the nominative/descriptive fair-use characterization is appropriate and adequate in each target jurisdiction (US and EU at minimum).
  • That the package as shipped contains only independently authored code and does not redistribute or incorporate third-party source.
  • The accuracy of the "AS IS" warranty disclaimer against the package's actual open-source license text.
  • Jurisdiction-specific limitation-of-liability wording (US "to the fullest extent permitted by law" and an EU/Member State consumer-protection-aware equivalent).
  • Whether a separate, more prominent trademark line is warranted in the package README, NuGet package description, and any UI/CLI surface.
  • That all [VERIFY], [LEGAL REVIEW NEEDED], and [JURISDICTION-SPECIFIC] markers are resolved and removed prior to publication.
