WHAT IS A TRADEMARK?
A trademark is a word, name, symbol or design (or a combination thereof) that identifies the goods or services of a specific person or company and distinguishes them from the goods and services of others. A trademark helps its owner to assure consumers of the quality and unique attributes of such products and services, thus helping the promotion of those goods and services.

You must abide by such requirements in addition to complying with these Guidelines. If you have any questions about these Guidelines or our Trademarks, please contact us at legal@dataendure.com.
You may use our Trademarks to describe accurately how your products or services relate to our products, as long as you observe these Guidelines and maintain a clear distinction between your products and services and the Services, and between your trademarks and our Trademarks. You may not mislead anyone to think that your products or services are somehow offered, endorsed or sponsored by DataEndure or any of its subsidiaries.
SPECIFIC “DO” AND “DON’T DO” GUIDELINES:
Use our Trademarks with permission.
You may not use our Trademarks unless you have a written agreement with DataEndure or you otherwise receive our written permission to use the Trademarks. Upon receiving such permission, your use must be limited to these Guidelines, and the limited permission you have received to use specific Trademarks.
Include appropriate attribution.
Always include the appropriate trademark symbol (® or ™, as indicated near each of our Trademarks) near any of our Trademarks in the most prominent place where you use such Trademarks in any document or web page.
Usage rules for our logos.
In using our logos (i) do not alter or distort the appearance of the logo in any way, for example, by adding your own design elements or colors, or changing the font, (ii) use our logos exactly as they appear in these Guidelines, without changing their size, (iii) allow for clear space around our logos, (iv) maintain the legibility of our logos and keep them sharp, clear and well-produced, and (v) do not use them for decorative purposes in marketing or packaging materials, or in your website.
Distinguish our Trademarks from your trademarks.
Do not place your company name, trademarks, service marks or product names immediately next to (or combined with) our Trademarks. Keep our word Trademarks distinguishable from the surrounding text – acceptable ways to do that include capitalizing our word Trademarks, enclosing them in quotes, and/or using a different font or style for our Trademarks.
In describing your services or products in reference to our Services, make sure that (i) the reference phrase you use is accurate and complies with the requirements of these Guidelines, (ii) our Trademarks are clearly distinguished from your products and services names, and (iii) our Trademarks are not part of, mixed with, or incorporated into your company, or your products, services or domain names.
Do not use our Trademarks as the name of your company, products or as your domain name.
Do not use all or parts of our Trademarks in a manner that may imply sponsorship or corporate affiliation between DataEndure and your company, products or services, or that may dilute the distinctive nature of our Trademarks. For example, do not use company, product, website or domain names that combine our Trademarks with other words, terms or trademarks (e.g., naming your product “dataendurexyz” or your website “dataenduremexperts.com”).
Do not copy the look and feel of DataEndure’s Trademarks, Website or product line.
Do not imitate our Trademarks, logos, logotypes, trade dress, or other elements of our product packaging and Web site in any of your advertising, product packaging, promotional and other materials.

NEVER USE OUR TRADEMARKS IN NOUN, VERB, PLURAL OR POSSESSIVE FORMS.
