SmartSuite Trademark Guidelines
SmartSuite’s Trademark Guidelines (the “Guidelines”) have been created to help SmartSuite (“our”) partners, licensees, and other authorized third parties understand how to use our brand assets correctly, including our logos, trademarks, service marks, and any other word, name, phrase, image, or other designation that identifies the source or origin of any of our products or services (“SmartSuite Brand Assets”). You are permitted to use our Brand Assets only in accordance with these Guidelines. Any use of our Brand Assets contrary to the Guidelines is prohibited. SmartSuite reserves the right to revise or update these Guidelines at any time at its sole discretion.
The SmartSuite Brand Assets are valuable SmartSuite intellectual property. By using or making reference to any of our Brand Assets, you agree to comply with the Guidelines and the SmartSuite User Terms of Service. You also acknowledge that SmartSuite is the sole owner of the SmartSuite Brand Assets, agree not to challenge or interfere with SmartSuite’s rights in its Brand Assets, and agree that all goodwill derived from the use of the SmartSuite Brand Assets inures only to the benefit of SmartSuite. We may review the use of our Brand Assets at any time, and we reserve the right to terminate or modify any permissions granted by SmartSuite.
If you have a separate written agreement with SmartSuite that may include different or additional terms concerning the use of the SmartSuite Brand Assets, the specific guidelines in your agreement will control.

How To Use (And How Not To Use) SmartSuite Brand Assets
