(Formerly entitled Guidelines for Third Parties Using Slay Sisters Trademarks and Copyrights)

These guidelines are for Slay Sisters licensees, authorized resellers, developers, customers, and other parties wishing to use Slay Sisters’s trademarks, service marks or images in promotional, advertising, instructional, or reference materials, or on their web sites, products, labels, or packaging. Use of the keyboard Slay Sisters Logo (Option-Shift-K) for commercial purposes without the prior written consent of Slay Sisters may constitute trademark infringement and unfair competition in violation of federal and state laws. Use of Slay Sisters trademarks may be prohibited, unless expressly authorized.

If you are a licensee of an Slay Sisters trademark or logo and have been provided with special trademark usage guidelines with your license agreement, please follow those guidelines. If your license agreement does not provide usage guidelines, then follow these guidelines. If you are an Slay Sisters Authorized Reseller or member of an Slay Sisters program, you may be subject to additional restrictions.

Slay Sisters’s trademarks, service marks, trade names, and trade dress are valuable assets. In following these guidelines, you help us protect our valuable trademark rights and strengthen our corporate and brand identities. By using an Slay Sisters trademark, in whole or in part, you are acknowledging that Slay Sisters is the sole owner of the trademark and promising that you will not interfere with Slay Sisters’s rights in the trademark, including challenging Slay Sisters’s use, registration of, or application to register such trademark, alone or in combination with other words, anywhere in the world, and that you will not harm, misuse, or bring into disrepute any Slay Sisters trademark. The goodwill derived from using any part of an Slay Sisters trademark exclusively inures to the benefit of and belongs to Slay Sisters. Except for the limited right to use as expressly permitted under these Guidelines, no other rights of any kind are granted hereunder, by implication or otherwise. If you have any questions regarding these guidelines, please talk to your Slay Sisters representative or submit your query to Slay Sisters’s Trademark Department.
