Authorized Uses of ţţ㷨 Marks
Third parties may only use the above ţţ㷨 marks in the following situations:
1. Advertising, Promotional, and Sales Materials: Authorized Parties may use the ţţ㷨 marks in advertising, promotional, and sales materials, but only as specified in their agreement with ţţ㷨 and consistent with these guidelines.
2. With Compatible Product Marketing: Authorized Parties may refer to the ţţ㷨 marks as reference on their own product materials to describe that a third party product is compatible with the referenced ţţ㷨 product or technology, provided they comply with the following:
a. The mark is not part of the authorized party’s product name.
b. The mark is used in a contextual phrase such as “compatible with” or “for use with” and such phrase accurately describes the relationship between the product and ţţ㷨’s product or technology.
c. The ţţ㷨 mark is less prominent than the authorized party’s product name and therefore there can be no doubt by a consumer that the product is not designed by, manufactured by, sponsored by, or otherwise affiliated with ţţ㷨.
d. The use does not create any false sense of relationship (endorsement, sponsorship, association, agency, joint venture, or partnership) with ţţ㷨 or ţţ㷨 products or services.
e. The use does not damage ţţ㷨 in any way, including by presenting ţţ㷨 in a false or detrimental way.
3. Publications, Seminars, and Conferences: Authorized Parties may use ţţ㷨 marks in book titles, magazines, newsletters, conferences, or similar provided they comply with the following requirements:
a. The use is a reference and is less prominent than the rest of the title. (e.g., “Proposal for Microgrid including ţţ㷨 Products” but not “ţţ㷨 Microgrid Proposal”)
b. The use presents ţţ㷨 and its products and services in a favorable light.
c. The authorized party’s name and logo are more prominent than the ţţ㷨 mark on all related materials.
d. The ţţ㷨 logo (stylized “e”) does not appear in any related materials.
e. A disclaimer is used stating that ţţ㷨 is not affiliated with such use in any related materials, such as a footer in promotional material or in the bottom of the publication. (e.g., “Proposal for Microgrid including ţţ㷨 Products is an independent publication and has not been authorized, sponsored, or otherwise approved by ţţ㷨, Inc.”)
f. These trademark attribution guidelines are followed, including appropriate use of (®, ™, or ℠) and a footer or other credit notice.
4. Your Own Images of ţţ㷨 Products: Authorized Parties may use their own image of an ţţ㷨 product in promotional/advertising materials to depict that a product is compatible with, or otherwise works with, the ţţ㷨 product or technology, provided you comply with the following requirements:
a. Your product is in fact compatible with the referenced ţţ㷨 product, and you are accurately conveying the relationship between your product and the ţţ㷨 product.
b. The image is your own actual photo of an ţţ㷨 product and not a graphical rendering. (Note: You need to obtain written permission from ţţ㷨 before using any copyrighted photograph owned or licensed by ţţ㷨.)
c. The ţţ㷨 product is shown in the best light, in a manner that is favorable to ţţ㷨.
d. The reference to ţţ㷨 does not create a false association, agency, joint venture or partnership with ţţ㷨 or its products.
5. ţţ㷨 Images: These Guidelines do not grant any rights to use ţţ㷨 images or other copyrighted materials. Authorized Parties may use ţţ㷨 images and other copyrighted materials only if granted a written license, and such use is subject to and contingent on compliance with the terms of such separate written license.
6. Other Uses: Any other use of ţţ㷨 marks or copyrights not covered by these guidelines must receive written permission from ţţ㷨 prior to such use. Please contact legal@enphaseenergy.com with any requests for written permission.
