CYE Trademark Usage Guidelines
These Guidelines outline the policy of Cyesec Ltd., and its affiliates, (“CYE” or the “Company”) regarding any use of registered and non-registered trademarks (the “Marks”) owned by the Company and as such are valued assets of CYE. CYE’s Marks may include brand names, logos, website content, videos and any other matter protected under trademark and copyright law.
CYE encourages its partners, customers and consultants (together, “Partners” or “you”) to use the Marks. As a rule, a license is required in order to use CYE Marks. These Guidelines do not count as “permission to use” any Marks. Partners may use the Marks, all subject to (i) the written agreement between CYE and the Partner (ii) these Guidelines, and (iii) any other written guidelines and instructions provided by CYE. If no license was granted in writing to the Partner, and you would like to request permission to use any CYE Marks, please email sales@cyesec.com. CYE may modify or revoke, at its sole discretion, these Guidelines and any permission to grant you the use of the Marks, unless agreed otherwise in writing.
Publicly distributed materials that reference CYE’s products and services and which use CYE’s Marks, must be true, fair and factual and abide by any applicable law. You agree not to challenge CYE’s ownership of its Marks. By using the Marks, you acknowledge that CYE is the exclusive owner of the Marks, and is the only entity entitled to register or claim an ownership interest in a Mark or a derivative work thereof.
Partners may not use, incorporate, combine, or register in whole or in part any Mark – or any word or design that is confusingly similar to a Mark – as part of (or with) your own company names, trade names, trademarks, service marks, or logos; your product or service brand names or titles for sales reps or other staff; your internet keywords or metatags; or your trigger words to lead to a website or other Internet destination, product, business, or service.
Partners may not transfer the rights granted with regards to the Marks, whether under these Guidelines or any other written agreement, to any third party. Partners may not use any third-party product names or trademarks, appearing on CYE website, unless such Partner obtained a license from such party. No license or right is granted by CYE, by estoppel or implication, to any third party names, logos and trademarks or to the Company Marks.
CYE Marks:
Specifications for Use
All uses of the Marks must comply with these Guidelines and the following requirements:
- Do NOT amend the Marks. Do not change the spelling and the appearances of the Marks. Do not abbreviate, hyphenate, delete any word, change the spelling, or change the capitalization of the Mark in text format. Do not add or delete any elements, change any color, change the proportion of the logo or any other design included in a Mark.
- Identify the Marks as a trademark. When using the Marks, all Partners are required to specify that such Marks belong to CYE. Marks should include the proper registration notation, ® for registered Marks and ™ for non-registered. For text, only the first time the Mark is in use, a notation is required. For logos, a proper registration notation is required in each instance.
- Include a trademark attribution statement. If a Mark appears on your website, document, or other material, add the following attribution statement that identifies CYE as the trademark owner: “[reference to the applicable Mark] is a registered trademark of CYESEC Ltd. All Rights Reserved.” Such statement must be in a legible font and size at the bottom of your website or the end of your advertisement or publication.
- Use Marks only as adjectives. Trademarks are adjectives, and a Mark should be used only to describe CYE’s products or services.
- Use CYE Marks less prominently than your own company or product name unless you and CYE have a strategic partnership agreement in place.
- Do NOT use or register a domain name with any Marks. Your domain names may not include any Marks or other words that are confusingly similar to a Mark.
- Do NOT use any Marks as your own.
- Do NOT imply any CYE endorsement or sponsorship. Without the express prior written consent of CYE, you may not use any Marks to imply an affiliation with CYE or any approval, sponsorship, or endorsement by CYE of your company, products, services, or website.
- Do NOT use Marks in any way that damages CYE. You may not use Marks in a manner that disparages CYE, its products or services, including use of any Marks in a manner that is offensive, defamatory, illegal, or unethical.
The above specifications are not a comprehensive list of approved or unauthorized uses of the Marks. CYE may determine at any time, in its sole discretion, that the Partner’s use of any Mark violates these Guidelines, or the written agreement between CYE and the Partner, or is otherwise unacceptable or detrimental, CYE may revoke permission, and you must immediately cease all use of the Mark.
These Guidelines are not intended to be a definitive and complete statement of general and proper trademark usage. All usage of any Marks should be in accordance with applicable law. CYE may modify these Guidelines at any time and at its sole discretion.
