My understanding is that this company has regular abuses of its trademarks and is therefore very litigious in protecting them. If you do some further searches on the company name on this forum and on the wider internet, I am sure you will find a few examples of people being prosecuted by them, so you will gain a better understanding of how to minimise damages claimed against you.

FWIW my non-professional view would be that you are in quite a weak position. I too would say don't sign anything they send you as this will put you in an even weaker position. You might also find some useful info at:
