Authorized Uses of ţţ淨r Marks
Third parties may only use the above ţţ淨r marks in the following situations:
1. Advertising, Promotional, and Sales Materials: Authorized Parties may use the ţţ淨r marks in advertising, promotional, and sales materials, but only as specified in their agreement with ţţ淨r and consistent with these guidelines.
2. With Compatible Product Marketing: Authorized Parties may refer to the ţţ淨r marks as reference on their own product materials to describe that a third party product is compatible with the referenced ţţ淨r 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淨r’s product or technology.
c. The ţţ淨r 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淨r.
d. The use does not create any false sense of relationship (endorsement, sponsorship, association, agency, joint venture, or partnership) with ţţ淨r or ţţ淨r products or services.
e. The use does not damage ţţ淨r in any way, including by presenting ţţ淨r in a false or detrimental way.
3. Publications, Seminars, and Conferences: Authorized Parties may use ţţ淨r 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淨r Products” but not “ţţ淨r Microgrid Proposal”)
b. The use presents ţţ淨r and its products and services in a favorable light.
c. The authorized party’s name and logo are more prominent than the ţţ淨r mark on all related materials.
d. The ţţ淨r logo (stylized “e”) does not appear in any related materials.
e. A disclaimer is used stating that ţţ淨r 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淨r Products is an independent publication and has not been authorized, sponsored, or otherwise approved by ţţ淨r, 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淨r Products: Authorized Parties may use their own image of an ţţ淨r product in promotional/advertising materials to depict that a product is compatible with, or otherwise works with, the ţţ淨r product or technology, provided you comply with the following requirements:
a. Your product is in fact compatible with the referenced ţţ淨r product, and you are accurately conveying the relationship between your product and the ţţ淨r product.
b. The image is your own actual photo of an ţţ淨r product and not a graphical rendering. (Note: You need to obtain written permission from ţţ淨r before using any copyrighted photograph owned or licensed by ţţ淨r.)
c. The ţţ淨r product is shown in the best light, in a manner that is favorable to ţţ淨r.
d. The reference to ţţ淨r does not create a false association, agency, joint venture or partnership with ţţ淨r or its products.
5. ţţ淨r Images: These Guidelines do not grant any rights to use ţţ淨r images or other copyrighted materials. Authorized Parties may use ţţ淨r 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淨r marks or copyrights not covered by these guidelines must receive written permission from ţţ淨r prior to such use. Please contact legal@enphaseenergy.com with any requests for written permission.
