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. - |
