Nice, so my gut feeling about not needing the parenthesis above was right.
I store-brand googled it, so I feel I'm not an authority to say one way or another!
It's a reasonable convention that matches the common DNF (disjunctive normal form) of propositional logic, can confirm it's the right read.
I'd still probably use parentheses for the ∧ (and/conjunction), though I'd never bother with it for ¬ (negation)
