What changed, in plain language

The only change in this update is to Section 20 (Trademark Information), which now links to an online list of APA's trademarks instead of naming them directly in the text. This is a cosmetic wording change and does not affect your rights or obligations.

This change appears to be cosmetic (formatting, typos, or contact details).
