-We at SparkleShare love it when people talk about SparkleShare, build
-businesses around SparkleShare and produce products that make life
-better for SparkleShare users and developers. We do, however, have a
-trademark, which we are obliged to protect. The trademark gives us
-the exclusive right to use the term to promote websites, services,
-businesses and products. Although those rights are exclusively ours,
-we are happy to give people permission to use the term under most
-circumstances.
-
-The following is a general policy that tells you when you can refer
-to the SparkleShare name and logo without need of any specific
-permission from SparkleShare:
-
-First, you must make clear that you are not SparkleShare and that you
-do not represent SparkleShare. A simple disclaimer on your home page
-is an excellent way of doing that.
-
-Second, you may not incorporate the SparkleShare name or logo into
-the name or logo of your website, product, business or service.
-
-Third, you may use the SparkleShare name (but not the SparkleShare
-logo) only in descriptions of your website, product, business or
-service to provide accurate information to the public about yourself.
-
-Fourth, you may not use the SparkleShare graphical logo.
-
-If you would like to use the SparkleShare name or logo for any other
-use, please contact us and we’ll discuss a way to make that happen.
-We don’t have strong objections to people using the name for their
-websites and businesses, but we do need the chance to review such use.
-Generally, we approve your use if you agree to a few things, mainly:
-(1) our rights to the SparkleShare trademark are valid and superior to
-yours and (2) you’ll take appropriate steps to make sure people don’t
-confuse your website for ours. In other words, it’s not a big deal,
-and a short conversation (usually done via email) should clear
-everything up in short order.
-
-If you currently have a website that is using the SparkleShare name and
-you have not gotten permission from us, don’t panic. Let us know, and
-we’ll work it out, as described above.
