CyberSherpas Logo Usage Agreement
We appreciate that many of our Users — as well as our partners, vendors, and others who may be connected to us in other ways — will often want to mention their connection with us, and will often want to use our name or logo to do so. These Logo Usage Terms (what weʼll call the “Logo Usage Terms”) are intended to clarify how our Users and Partners may do that. To answer any questions you may have about these Logo Usage Terms or if you want to use our logo other than to note that you are a CyberSherpas User (perhaps in your checkout flow), please email us at [email protected].
Some uses of our Logos will require an express license. In those cases, the terms of that license will govern. Other uses of our Logos will be governed by separate agreements or terms. In those cases, the terms of those agreements will govern. These Logo Usage Terms are intended to cover everything else, and will govern any uses of our Logo that are not governed by any other license or agreement.
Before we get to the specific doʼs and donʼts, some general points:
- First, letʼs define what weʼre covering here. When we use the collective term “Logos” (or the singular “Logo”), that means any of our names, logos, icons, design elements, trade dress, or anything else (whether registered or unregistered) that we may use to identify and distinguish our goods or services from those of others. We have many logos, but here are a few examples:
- Our CyberSherpas stylized logo;
- Our CyberSherpas logo icon;
As noted above, these are just examples, not an exhaustive list of our logos. That said, we chose them as examples in part because each one is registered in at least the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (if not other trademark offices as well). If you would like to use one of our logos other than as noted above, please email us at [email protected].
- Our CyberSherpas stylized logo;
- Our Logos are valuable assets. In following these Logo Usage Terms and using our Logos, you are acknowledging that we are the sole owner of the Logos and that you will not interfere with our rights in the Logos (including challenging our use, registration, or application to register a Logo). You also acknowledge that the goodwill derived from your use of any of our Logos inures to our benefit, and belongs to us.
- The permission that weʼre giving you to use our Logos is limited, in several ways:
- You can only use our Logos as expressly permitted under these Logos Usage Terms.
- The permission weʼre giving you is non-exclusive (meaning, we can give it to others) and non-transferable (meaning, you canʼt).
- We may update these Logos Usage Terms from time to time, and you will update your use of the Logos to conform to any changes we make within a reasonable time after we give you notice of the change.
- We may review your use of our Logos on your website and require changes if necessary to comply with these Logo Usage Terms.
- We may terminate your permission to use our Logo at any time (and at our discretion). Upon termination you agree to promptly stop all use of the Logos (for example, by removing any Logos from any websites or applications).
So what then can you do and not do? As a general rule, you may use our Logos to truthfully convey information about your goods or services, but not in a way that will imply endorsement by us of your goods or services, or otherwise cause consumer confusion. To help you understand what that means in practice, we have created this non-exhaustive list of what you can and canʼt do:
Do:
- Use our Logos only on the portion of your website or application that directly relates to our services.
- Use our Logos consistent with any style guidelines (describing such things as size, color, or relative placement) that we may give you (and update your use to conform to any changes in those style guidelines within a reasonable time after we give you notice of the change).
- Use our CyberSherpas logo without alteration in text to truthfully and accurately refer to us or our goods or services.
Don’t:
- Use our Logos except as described in these Logo Usage Terms (or otherwise agreed inwriting).
- Modify or alter our Logos in any way. For example, donʼt shorten or abbreviate any of the Logos (many of them are relatively short to begin with!), or use any of them in plural, possessive, foreign-language translation, or otherwise modified forms.
- Misrepresent your relationship with us, or use our Logos in any way that is misleading, or that would imply our endorsement or sponsorship of your goods or services (or anybody elseʼs goods or services).
- Use our Logos more prominently than your own (or any othersʼ).
- Use our Logos in any way that is unrelated to us or our goods or services.
- Use our Logos on any tangible merchandise, including any promotional, marketing, swag, or other physical items without or explicit consent.
- Add anything in such close proximity to our Logos as to create a new mark with its own distinct commercial impression.
- Use or incorporate any of our Logos in your own trademark, service mark, trade dress, trade name, website name, domain name, corporate name, or social-media handle (or any other source-identifying use), or use any trademark, service mark, trade dress, trade name, website name, domain name, corporate name, or social-media handle (or any other source-identifying use) that is likely to be confused with any of our Logos.
- Use our Logo to show CyberSherpas or our goods or services in any disparaging or derogatory light, or in any way that may be damaging to our brand or to our interests in the Logos.
