These Trademark Usage Guidelines (hereafter "Guidelines") set forth MetaDolce's rules for using or referring to MetaDolce's trademarks identified in below. No permission is granted to use any other MetaDolce trademarks. MetaDolce reserves the right to (i) terminate use of its trademarks by any party for non-compliance with these Guidelines, or for any other reason as MetaDolce deems in its sole discretion, and (ii) modify these Guidelines for any reason at any time.

General Trademark Usage Rules and Conditions

1.Any use of MetaDolce trademarks must be (a) truthful, fair, not misleading, and (b) comply with these Guidelines, which may be modified by MetaDolce at any time at MetaDolce's sole discretion.

2.Always use a trademark as an adjective, accompanied by an appropriate noun, e.g. "use a MetaDolce semantic search" not "use a MetaDolce". Do not use a trademark alone or as a noun. Do not pluralize a trademark or make it possessive. Do not join a trademark to other words, symbols, or numbers, either as one word or with a hyphen. Do not abbreviate a trademark.

3.Always use the proper spelling and the proper trademark symbol. For the trademark symbol, the superscript mode is preferred: ^TM or ®. If it is not available, use parentheses: (TM) or (R).

4.In all written materials including packaging, letters, memos, press releases, white papers, advertising, slides, video, and other multimedia presentations:

a.Properly designate (with ® or ^TM ) all of MetaDolce's trademarks and logos at the most prominent use (usually a headline) and again on the first occurrence in copy.

b.In the case of presentation graphics, trademarks and logos should be designated with the proper trademark symbol on each page and slide.

5.Properly footnote and acknowledge trademark ownership identifying MetaDolce trademarks as being owned by MetaDolce, e.g., "MetaDolce® us a registered trademark of The MetaDolce Group, LLC. in the U.S. and other countries."

6.Always use trademarks and logos in the manner intended by MetaDolce. Do not use them for goods or services for which they were not originally intended. Do not alter them in any way. Do not make puns out of them or portray them negatively.

7.Do not incorporate MetaDolce trademarks or logos into your own product names, service names, trademarks, logos, or company names, and do not adopt marks or logos that are confusingly similar to MetaDolce's trademarks or logos.

8.Do not use MetaDolce trademarks or logos on or in connection with any product that does not include an authentic MetaDolce product. Inquiries regarding authentic MetaDolce products should be sent to trademarks@metadolce.com.

9.You acknowledge that MetaDolce takes no position regarding the quality of products or services that you offer. You shall make no claims or implications that MetaDolce endorses or is affiliated with your products or services.

10.In no event shall MetaDolce be liable for any direct, indirect, punitive, special, incidental, or consequential damages arising out of, or in any way connected with these Guidelines, your products containing hard drives manufactured by MetaDolce, or your relationship with any end users, whether based on breach of contract, tort (including negligence), strict liability or otherwise.

11.Unless otherwise agreed to in writing by MetaDolce, you will defend, indemnify and hold MetaDolce and its employees, officers, directors, successors and assigns harmless from any and all claims, actions and suits based on your use, sale, marketing and distribution of any products containing hard drives manufactured by MetaDolce or your use of MetaDolce trademarks or logos.
