Trademark Policy – Globelocus

Globelocus supports and encourages ideas, services, and tools that use and supplement Globelocus’s services. At the same time, we are serious about protecting our reputation, our trademarks and our brand identity. This Trademark Policy explains how to refer to Globelocus, our marks or our services.

This policy is a part of our Terms of Use. By using any of Globelocus’s services, you’re agreeing to this policy and our Terms of Use. This policy only covers the use of Globelocus’s intellectual property (for example, the use of the term “Globelocus”). For issues regarding any intellectual property that is not exclusively owned by Globelocus, please refer to Globelocus’s Intellectual Property Policy.

Trademark Basics

A trademark is a word, name, symbol or device (or a combination of those items) that identifies the goods or services of a person or company and distinguishes them from the goods and services of others. The word “Globelocus” and other Globelocus graphics, logos, designs, page headers, button icons, scripts and service names (together, the “Globelocus Marks”) are registered trademarks, trademarks or trade dress of Globelocus.

Why must Globelocus protect the Globelocus Marks? Globelocus must be to able assure Internet users and others that only the services offered, sponsored, or endorsed by Globelocus actually bear the Globelocus Marks. Trademark law requires that we not only protect against improper use of the Globelocus Marks, but also protect against the use of confusingly similar marks.

Using the Globelocus Marks

We support and encourage using the Globelocus Marks in the following ways:

Distinguish the Globelocus Marks from surrounding text by, for example, capitalising the first letter of the Globelocus Marks.

Incorporating the Globelocus Marks or a confusingly similar mark into, for example, the name of your business, organisation, non-profit organisation, event or trademark.
Removing, altering, distorting or modifying the Globelocus Marks, including adding other terms to the Globelocus Marks to create new words.
Using the Globelocus Marks or a confusingly similar mark in a way that falsely implies a relationship or affiliation with, sponsorship, or endorsement by Globelocus, Inc. or that can be reasonably interpreted to suggest information comes from, or represents the views or opinions of Globelocus, Inc. or an Globelocus employee.
Using the Globelocus Marks in a product unless we’ve given you our permission in writing.
Using any trademarks, service marks, trade dress, designs or logos that are confusingly similar to the Globelocus Marks or the look and feel of the Globelocus website.
