## FRAMASOFT’s Trademark Policy This declaration complements the code of conduct. If you comply with the code of conduct, you will probably not have to check whether your actions conflict with this declaration. However, if you need to use one of our brands, we encourage you to read it attentively. ### Introduction FRAMASOFT is a non-profit organisation.

At the same time, this policy encourages individuals, organisations and businesses to work with FRAMASOFT under the terms of this policy and the code of conduct. ### When you shouldn’t use FRAMASOFT’s trademarks Here are a few examples that conflict with the way we use our brands, and would lead us to use trademark law to regulate abuse. But quite apart from the legal issue, it’s also a question of common sense: - Use FRAMASOFT’s trademarks in a company or organisation name: seriously, do you want to impersonate us? - Use FRAMASOFT’s trademarks as name of a product or service: some companies would be delighted, but it’s really not a good idea because it would mean advertising on our behalf… and you wouldn’t want anyone to speak on your behalf, right? - Use FRAMASOFT’s trademarks in a domain name, with or without commercial purposes, including social media: a domain name is also a mark of identity, and if you use one of our brands as a domain name, you’re misleading users into thinking that the site or service belongs to Framasoft. ### When you can use the FRAMASOFT’s trademarks without asking permission But there are many cases where you can use our brands! And we even encourage such uses: - Communicating facts about FRAMASOFT and it’s projects without suggesting sponsorship or endorsement. - Advertising your product or service relating to FRAMASOFT and it’s projects in a way that is not misleading. - Describing that your software is based on a FRAMASOFT’s Software code or it is compatible with your product. - Displaying FRAMASOFT’s trademarks on your own website solely as a hyperlink to a FRAMASOFT’s website. And of course, don’t hesitate to contact us if you have any doubts or need specific permission. Our contact details are at the end of this statement. ### Finally, here are a few tips on how to use FRAMASOFT’s trademarks properly - Use FRAMASOFT’s trademarks exact as shown. Any scaling must retain the original proportions of the logo (see [our branding style guide](https://framasoft.org/graphics/)) - Use FRAMASOFT’s trademarks only as an adjective, never as a noun or verb. Example: Framasoft’s Peertube app. - Wherever appropriate, include a trademark attribution notice. It’s very simple, like this: “<Framasoft’s product> is a registered trademark of the European Union.” - Be careful not to suggest that any of our brands are affiliated with you or any of your products or services. Don’t forget that Framasoft is an independent organization. - Sometimes our brands are usurped or used for slogans or advertising purposes, suggesting that we endorse an action or service. We refer to the code of conduct: don’t be an asshole… ### Contact For any queries with respect to these guidelines, please send an email to https://contact.framasoft.org.
