Trademark Usage Policy

(Logo, Copy, and Images)

Purpose

This Policy sets out the rules governing the use of CleanStart™ trademarks, service marks, logos, product names, images, and related brand assets (“Marks”). Its objective is to ensure the integrity of the CleanStart brand is preserved, while allowing authorized customers, partners, and third parties to make accurate and appropriate references to CleanStart products and services.

Ownership

All rights, title, and interest in the Marks remain the exclusive property of CleanStart. No transfer of ownership or implied license is granted under this Policy. Permission to use the Marks is strictly limited to the conditions described herein.

Authorized Usage

CleanStart permits use of its Marks solely for the purposes of identifying genuine CleanStart products or services, or to indicate a bona fide customer or partnership relationship, provided such use is accurate and not misleading. Marks must always appear in the exact form supplied by CleanStart, without modification, and must comply with any applicable brand guidelines issued by the company.

Restrictions on Use

Marks may not be altered, distorted, or combined with any other logos, words, or graphics. They may not be used in a manner that implies endorsement, sponsorship, or affiliation beyond what has been expressly authorized in writing. CleanStart Marks must not be incorporated into product names, business names, domain names, advertising keywords, or social media handles. Use of screenshots, product images, or documentation excerpts must remain contextual, factual, and non-misleading.

Presentation Standards

When displaying the CleanStart logo, appropriate clear space and proportional scaling must be maintained, and the logo must not be obscured, cropped, or placed on a background that impairs its legibility. References to CleanStart products should use the full and proper product names as they appear in official documentation, including the required ™ or ® symbol at least once per page, document, or webpage. An appropriate attribution statement must accompany such use, for example: “CleanStart™ is a registered trademark of CleanStart, Inc. All rights reserved.”

Use of Images and Documentation

Official images, diagrams, and excerpts from CleanStart materials may be reproduced only for non-commercial, educational, or informational purposes, provided that the content is not altered and the source is clearly acknowledged. Any commercial use, including use in promotional or marketing materials, requires prior written authorization from CleanStart.

Enforcement

Unauthorized use of Marks constitutes a violation of CleanStart's intellectual property rights and may result in revocation of any usage rights, termination of related agreements, or pursuit of legal remedies. CleanStart reserves the right to amend this Policy at any time to reflect changes in its branding strategy, business operations, or applicable law.
