These Nervotec Trademark Use Guidelines (the “Trademark Guidelines”) form an integral part of the Nervotec Master User Agreement (the “Agreement”) between Nervotec Pte. Ltd. or its affiliates (“Nervotec,” “we,” “us” or “our”) and you or the entity you represent (“you”). These Trademark Guidelines provide you a limited permission to use the Nervotec Marks (as defined in Section 2 below), in connection with (as applicable): (a) your use of the Services (as defined in the Agreement), or in connection with software products designed to be used with the Services, or (b) as otherwise agreed with Nervotec in writing, on the terms set forth herein and in the Agreement, until such time as we may terminate such permission, which we may do at any time, in our sole discretion, as set forth in Section 4 below. The Nervotec Marks are some of our most valuable assets and these Trademark Guidelines are intended to preserve the value attached to the Nervotec Marks.

- Limited Permission.
Provided that you are authorised by Nervotec in writing, and provided, further, that you comply at all times with the terms of both the Agreement and these Trademark Guidelines, we grant you a limited, non-exclusive, revocable, non-transferable permission, under our intellectual property rights in and to the Nervotec Marks, and only to the limited extent of our intellectual property rights in and to the Nervotec Marks, to use the Nervotec Marks for the following limited purpose, and only for such limited purpose: (i) identify Your Content (as defined in the Agreement) as using the Services; or (ii) to identify software tools or applications that you create and distribute that are intended for use in connection with the Services. Without limitation of any provision in the Agreement, you acknowledge that any use that you elect to make of the Nervotec Marks, even if permitted hereunder, is at your sole risk and that we shall have no liability or responsibility in connection therewith. Your limited permission to use the Nervotec Marks is a limited permission and you may not use the Nervotec Marks for any other purpose. You may not transfer, assign or sublicense your limited permission to use the Nervotec Marks to any other person or entity. Your use of the Nervotec Marks shall comply with: (i) the most up-to-date versions of the Agreement and these Trademark Guidelines; and (ii) any other terms, conditions or policies that we may issue from time to time to govern use of the Nervotec Marks. Your limited permission to use the Nervotec Marks hereunder shall automatically terminate and you must immediately stop using the Nervotec Marks if at any time: (i) the Agreement is terminated; or (ii) Your Content no longer uses any of the Services, or your software product cannot be used with any of the Services, as applicable.

You may not display any Nervotec Mark as the largest or most prominent trademark in any materials (including, without limitation, any web site or product literature) associated with Your Content, software tool or other software application. When using any Nervotec Mark (other than the Logo, with respect to which the formatting requirements are set forth in Section 8 below, or in a URL), you must distinguish the Nervotec Mark from the name of Your Content and/or other surrounding text by capitalising the first letter of the Nervotec Mark, capitalising or italicising the entire Nervotec Mark, placing the Nervotec Mark in quotes, or using a different style or colour of font for the Nervotec Mark.
- Formatting Requirements with Respect to the Logo.
- No Modification. We will make the Logo image available to you. You may not remove, distort or modify any element of the Logo; provided however, you may transform the file format itself, for ease of use.
- Spacing, size and placement. The use of the logo must comply with Nervotec’s Corporate Identity manual which would be sent together with the Logo image.

You shall link each use of the Nervotec Marks directly to the following URL, wherever technically feasible: https://nervotec.com/. You may, alternatively, link to an Nervotec detail page for a Service used by Your Content, and if you do so, you must link to the primary URL for the Service (e.g., https://[name of Service].nervotec.com. For example, the primary URL for Nervotec Dashboard is https://awareness.nervotec.com/. You may open the URL in a new browser window. You may not link the Nervotec Marks to any web site other than the primary URL for the applicable Service. You may not frame or mirror any of our web site pages.
- No Combination.
You may not hyphenate, combine or abbreviate the Nervotec Marks. You shall not incorporate the Nervotec Marks into the name of your organisation, or your services, products, trademark or logos.
The foregoing prohibition includes the use of the Nervotec Marks in the name of any application, service or product or in a URL to the left of the top-level domain name (e.g., ”.com”, ”.net”, ”.uk”, etc.). For example, URLs such as “nervotec.mydomain.com” are expressly prohibited.
