LIMITED PERMISSION

Provided that you are in good standing with a current and valid account for use of the Services and provided, further, that you comply at all times with the terms of both the Terms of Service and these Trademark Guidelines, we grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable permission, under our intellectual property rights in and to the Transloads Marks, and only to the limited extent of our intellectual property rights in and to the Transloads Marks, to use our Marks for the following limited purpose, and only for such limited purpose:

You may utilize the Logo or the appropriate form(s) of the “for” or equivalent naming convention or URL naming convention, as set forth below, to:

  • Identify your content and applications (as defined in the Terms of Service) as using the Services; or
  • To identify software tools or applications that you create and distribute that are intended for use in connection with the Services.

Without limitation of any provision in the Terms of Service, you acknowledge that any use that you elect to make of our Marks, even if permitted hereunder, is at your sole risk and that we shall have no liability or responsibility in connection therewith.

Your permission to use the Transloads Marks is a limited permission and you may not use our Marks for any other purpose. You may not transfer, assign or sublicense your limited permission to use to any other person or entity.

Your use of the Transloads Marks shall comply with:

  • The most up-to-date versions of the Terms of Service and these Trademark Guidelines; and
  • Any other terms, conditions or policies that we may issue from time to time to govern use of our Marks. 

Your permission to use the Transloads Marks hereunder shall automatically terminate and you must immediately stop using our Marks if at any time:

  • The Terms of Service is terminated;
  • Your content no longer uses any of the Services, or your applications cannot be used with any of the Services, as applicable; or

  • We may modify these Trademark Guidelines at any time;

  • We reserve the right to take any and all actions including, without limitation, legal proceedings, against any use of the Transloads Marks that does not comply with the terms of the Terms of Service or these Trademark Guidelines.

NO AFFILIATION OR ENDORSEMENT

You will not display the Transloads Marks in any manner that implies that you are related to, affiliated with, sponsored or endorsed by us, or in a manner that could reasonably be interpreted to suggest that your content, application, web site, product or service, has been authored or edited by us, or represents our views or opinions.

NO DISPARAGEMENT

You may only use our Marks in a manner designed to maintain the highest standard, quality and reputation that is associated with the Transloads Marks and you will not use our Marks to disparage us or our products or services.

NO DOMINANT DISPLAY; TRANSLOADS MARK DIFFERENTIATION

You may not display any Transloads Mark as the largest or most prominent trademark in any materials (including, without limitation, any web site or product literature) associated with your content, application, software tool or other software application. When using any Transloads Mark (other than the Logo, with respect to which the formatting requirements set forth below, or in a URL), you must distinguish our Mark from the name of your content and/or other surrounding text by using lower-case for the first letter of the transloads.co Mark, capitalizing or italicizing our entire Mark, placing the transloads.co Mark in quotes, or using a different style or color of font for our Mark.

LOGO FORMATTING REQUIREMENTS

No Modification. We will make the Logo images available to you on the transloads.co site. You may not remove, distort or modify any element of the Logo; provided however, you may transform the file format itself, for ease of use.

Alt/Title Attribute. The Alternative Text (alt/title attribute of the image tag) should either be set to the following text or be left blank: “Powered by transloads.co”.

Except for the limited permission specified above, nothing in the Terms of Service or these Trademark Guidelines shall grant or be deemed to grant you any right, license, title or interest in or to any Transloads Mark or any of our or our affiliates’ other trademarks, service marks, trade names, logos, product names, service names, legends, other designations, or abbreviations of any of the foregoing. You acknowledge and agree that we and our affiliates retain any and all intellectual property and other proprietary rights in and to the Transloads Marks.
