Trademarks

Expanso deeply appreciates the trust that people put in our products, services, and experiences. These Trademark Guidelines (“Trademark Guidelines”) outline the ways you can help us protect Expanso’s brand assets, including logos, names, icons, and the trust that they represent. We have designed these guidelines to clarify proper usage of our brand assets. Expanso maintains the right to act as required to protect them and, as a result, protect its customers and the public.

Expanso’s brand assets- such as the logos, icons, trade dress, and the names of Expanso software, products, and services, and any other brand features and elements, whether they are registered or not, are proprietary assets owned exclusively by Expanso. These Trademark Guidelines explain how our brand assets can be used under specific circumstances. Unless you have an express license from Expanso, these Trademark Guidelines will exclusively govern your use of our brand assets. Several uses, including use of our logos, app and product icons, and other designs, are not covered by these Trademark Guidelines and will require a license.

While our software is available under a free and open source software license, the copyright license does not include any right, express or implied, to use our trademarks. These guidelines are where we describe how you may use our trademarks.

We want to encourage and facilitate the use of our software by the community, but do so in a way that still ensures that the trademarks are meaningful as a source and quality indicator for the software and the associated goods and services. The role of trademarks is different from copyright. Trademarks provide assurance about the quality of the products or services the trademark is used with. But because an open source license allows your unrestricted modification of the copyrighted software, we cannot be sure that your modifications to the software are ones that will not mislead users about the qualities of the product they are getting from you. Instead, this Policy describes the circumstances under which you may use our brand assets to accurately describe your products and your relationship with Expanso.

This Policy therefore tries to strike the proper balance between: 1) our need to ensure that our trademarks remain reliable indicators of the qualities that they are meant to preserve and 2) your ability to fully exercise the rights granted in the open source license.

In this Policy, we are not trying to limit the lawful use of our trademarks, but rather describe for you what we consider the parameters of lawful use to be. Trademark law can be ambiguous, so we hope to provide enough clarity for you to understand whether we will consider your use non-infringing.

The sections that follow describe what trademarks are covered by this Policy, as well as uses of the trademarks that are allowed without additional permission from us. If you want to use our trademarks in ways that are not described in this Policy, please see “Where To Get Further Information” below for contact information. Any use that does not comply with this Policy or for which we have not separately provided written permission is not a use that we have approved, so you must decide for yourself whether the use is nevertheless lawful.

This Policy encompasses: The following word trademarks and service marks (the “Marks”):

Expanso™ - “company,” “products,” “services,” “solution”

Bacalhau™ - “project,” “platform,” “software,” “community”

Whenever you use our brand assets, you must always do so in a way that does not mislead anyone, either directly or by omission, about exactly what they are getting and from whom. The law reflects this requirement in two major ways described in more detail at the end: it prohibits creating a “likelihood of confusion” but allows for “nominative use.”

This fundamental requirement, that it is always clear to people what they are getting and from whom, is reflected throughout this Policy. It should also serve as your guide if you are not sure about how you are using the Marks.

In general, you may do the following with the Marks:

You can distribute unaltered source code or binaries we compiled and label them with the Marks. You can modify, build and test the software without having to remove any Marks or other brand assets when the use is for your internal developmental, testing, and integration purposes. However, if you alter the source code and redistribute it, or build your own binary from source, you will have to remove any trademark image files and give your product a new, non-confusing, name.

If your product, service, or solution works with, is compatible with, or integrates with an Expanso product (including Bacalhau), service, or solution, you can describe that compatibility or integration. You should use your own trademark first, followed by a preposition that describes its relationship to our products or services, such as “compatible with Expanso/Bacalhau” or “add-in for Expanso/Bacalhau.”

You can use the Marks in text to refer to Expanso and its products and services (including Bacalhau). When using the trademarks in text, please follow the trademark with the category names that are listed above for them, for example, “Bacalhau™ software” or “Expanso™ services.”

You may use our Marks to refer to our products and services in your publication, seminars, or conferences, but not in a way that might suggest that you are the one providing them. For example, you can have a conference track titled “Getting the Most out of the Bacalhau Platform” but not a conference titled “Bacalhau Conference.”

You can use the Marks Use in article headlines or titles, as long as the use is referential and not misleading.

You should accompany the first or most visible mention of a Mark with the trademark symbol shown above.

Wherever you provide similar information for your own trademarks, please include this trademark legend for our trademarks: “Bacalhau, (followed by other trademarks in alphabetical order) is a trademark of Expanso Inc.”

Without a written license, don’t do the following:

Don’t use or register, as the name of your business, product, service, app, domain name, social media account, other offering, or business indicator, either the Marks, any trademarks that include the Marks as a component, or any trademarks that closely resemble the Marks, such as misspellings or foreign language equivalents.
