This document (the "Brand Policy", the "Policy") sets the conditions under which you may use the registered and unregistered trademarks, service marks, logos, logotypes, trade dress, trade names, product names, images, and slogans (collectively, the "Marks"), which belong to IzubaGen Company Limited or its affiliated companies ('IzubaGen', 'IzubaGen Inc', 'We', 'Us'), in promotional, advertising, instructional, or reference materials. We are actually happy when people use our Marks but you have to understand that our Marks are valuable assets for us and we wish to make the rules of such use very clear.
IzubaGen's Marks include any and all registered and unregistered trademarks or service marks owned or used by IzubaGen, including logos, logotypes, trade dress, trade names, product names, images, slogans. Please remember that registration of our Marks is not always necessary for ownership by Us and IzubaGen has rights in its Marks regardless of its registration status.
IzubaGen Inc owns trademarks in a variety of national and international jurisdictions. Therefore, please check with respective intellectual property bodies to know more about IzubaGen's registered Marks or send us a message to receive answers to any questions, issues or concerns you may have about IzubaGen's rights in any or all of its Marks.
This Policy is intended to balance competing interests and provide clarity on what is acceptable practice for the use of the Marks. On one hand, we need to ensure that IzubaGen's Marks are and remain reliable indicators of the quality, safety and reliability that Customers (the "Clients") expect from our official offerings. IzubaGen highly values the trust of its Clients, potential Clients, vendors and partners, and we protect our trademark rights to ensure those various expectations can be met now and in the future. On the other hand, we would like to ensure that our Clients, potential Clients, partners, authorized resellers, vendors and the public at large have the freedom to use IzubaGen's Marks in ways that are reasonable and unlikely to create confusion, and have guidance on those uses that we consider acceptable.
The Policy applies to all uses of IzubaGen's Marks and is in addition to the terms of any other permission we may have granted you regarding use of our Marks, unless otherwise specifically stated in the written consent to such use signed by IzubaGen.
Except for the limited rights to use as expressly permitted under this Policy, no other rights of any kind are granted hereunder, by implication or otherwise. If you wish to use any of IzubaGen's Marks in a manner that is not expressly permitted by this Policy, or otherwise permitted by a legal exception such as fair use, please email us at hello@izubagen.rw and we will consider your request. No matter how your use is authorized, any goodwill generated by use of the Marks shall inure solely to the benefit of IzubaGen.
The following general requirements apply to all users of IzubaGen's Marks.
