Algorithmic Objective Corp. ("Algotive"), a firm incorporated in the state of Delaware in the United States, sets forth these terms ("Terms") that make up these Algotive Trademark Guidelines ("the Trademark Guidelines"), for your knowledge and observation. If required, read, print, and keep a copy of the Trademark Guidelines for your registrations, because Algotive will not. Thank you for helping us protect our trademarks and brand assets.
1. Scope. Algotive's brand assets, including Algotive's trademarks (updated from time to time), logos, icons, designs, trade dress, fonts, software names, Algotive Products and Services, sounds, emojis, and any other brand features and elements, whether registered or not ("the Brand Assets"), are assets wholly owned by Algotive and its group of companies. These Trademark Guidelines, which may be updated from time to time, detail how our Brand Assets may be used in specific circumstances. Many uses, including our logos, Product and Service icons, and other designs, will require a prior license. Unless you have an express license from Algotive, these Trademark Pauses will govern exclusively your use of our Brand Assets.
2. Objective. Algotive appreciates the trust that people place in our Products, Services and experiences. These Trademark Guidelines detail how you can help us protect Brand Assets, including logos, names, app and product icons, and the trust they represent. We have created these Trademark Guidelines to help clarify the proper use of our Brand Assets. Algotive reserves the right to take the necessary measures to protect them and, consequently, to protect its customers and the public.
3. Logos.
a. Algotive logo. See section 6 for more information on usage requirements.
b. Product Logo. These include application icons for Algotive Products and Services (e.g., ACS Platform, VDRD Server, vehicleDRX product, and bankingDRX product). See section 6 for more information on usage requirements.
4. Credentials. This includes credentials to display designations or relationships between your Product and Algotive.
5. What to do and what not to do. To help you understand what you can and can't do with Brand Assets, we've created this non-exhaustive list of do's and don'ts. In general, word marks can be used to convey truthful information about your product or service, as long as you do not confuse customers and the public into believing that Algotive is affiliated with or endorsing your product or service. However, our logos, app and product icons, illustrations, photographs, videos and designs can never be used without an express license. Please review these additional indications to better understand how you can more clearly communicate the role that our Brand Assets convey in your communications.
