Then that is what you have to respond and you can equally request additional time if they haven't responded. I studied law so it comes in very helpful with contract

Notices can be scary but they don't have to be.

All you have to do is do the best you can to what you believe to be correct in your understanding of the initial agreement. Screenshot and reply requesting 28 days for their response. If they don't respond, they agree to whatever you've submitted by acquiescence. This can go on for years if you really wanted it to lol.

in all honesty, be polite and honourable in your approach. hope that helps

no theres no way for anyone to even see this right now its just a theme im making and i thought that would be a nice way to include the copyright. i mean even before hover i have vBulletin(r) and then on hover it gives you the full phrase... i honestly cant think of why it wouldnt be "legal" since it is still branded with vBulletin weather the user can see the whole copyright or not.

i mean i could be a total ass about it and have the phrase one shade lighter/darker than my background color so its hard as hell to see cause again that would TECHNICALLY not be breaking the law... cause the copyright IS there.

so me typing out vBulletin(R) in itself and showing the rest of the text upon hover in a sexy way, really i dont see the harm. would it be more admirable of me to type out "Powered by vBulletin(R)" and have that show the rest of the copyright upon hover, cause as i said previously, I've see quite a few skins that have the phrase ($vbphrase[powered_by_vbulletin]) completely removed and just text saying powered by vbulletin... in a legal/technical since, i see no harm in this. and i think i may do as dreads suggested send in my code and some screenshots to J$ / vB and see if i can get a response from them, but i dont think even what THEY say would matter its more i'd have to talk to lawyers, but thats just too much work lol. maybe if i start making DBTech kind of cash id go that route lol. Cause i plan on selling my skins, and i'd like to be able to use this method in more than one way, cause the things you could do with this are amazing, and look so elegant.
