Guidelines for Using ţţËã·¨ Trademarks and Copyrights

These guidelines are for ţţËã·¨, Inc. ("ţţËã·¨") authorized distributors and installers, indirect installers, equipment suppliers, customers, licensees and other parties ("Authorized Parties," "you" or "your") wishing to use ţţË㷨’s trademarks, service marks, word marks, trade names, trade dress, copyright work or images ("ţţËã·¨ Brands") in promotional, advertising, instructional or reference materials, or on their web sites, products, labels, or packaging ("Authorized Use"). These guidelines may be modified by ţţËã·¨ from time to time in ţţË㷨’s sole discretion.

A trademark is a word, name, symbol, device, design or phrase adopted and used by ţţËã·¨ to identify its goods and services and to distinguish them from the goods and services of others. Trademarks are usually marked with either a â„¢,â„  or an ® symbol (a â„¢ designates an unregistered trademark, an â„  designates a trademark used to identify a service rather than a product, and a ® designates a registered trademark).

Use of ţţËã·¨ Brands for commercial purposes without the prior written consent of ţţËã·¨ may constitute trademark infringement and unfair competition in violation of federal and state laws. Use of ţţËã·¨ Brands may be prohibited, unless expressly authorized. The right to use ţţËã·¨ Brands constitutes a non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable, royalty-free license, without the right to grant sublicenses. Your right to use and reproduce ţţËã·¨ Brands are limited to use solely in connection with marketing ţţËã·¨ Products and Services.

If you are a licensee of an ţţËã·¨ Brand 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.

Limitations to the use of ţţËã·¨ Brands

ţţËã·¨ Brands are valuable assets. In following these guidelines, you help us protect our valuable Brand rights and strengthen our corporate and brand identities. By using an ţţËã·¨ Brand, in whole or in part, you are acknowledging that ţţËã·¨ is the sole owner of the Brand and promising that you will not interfere with ţţË㷨’s rights in the Brand, including challenging ţţË㷨’s use, registration of, or application to register such Brand, alone or in combination with other words, anywhere in the world, and that you will not harm, misuse, or bring into disrepute any ţţËã·¨ Brand. The goodwill derived from using any part of an ţţËã·¨ Brand exclusively inures to the benefit of and belongs to ţţËã·¨. 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. You will not adopt, use, or attempt to register any trademarks or trade names that are confusingly similar to the ţţËã·¨ Brands or in such a way as to create combination marks with the ţţËã·¨ Brands. If you have any questions regarding these guidelines, please talk to your ţţËã·¨ representative or submit your query to legal@enphaseenergy.com.

You will provide ţţËã·¨ with samples of all products and materials that contain the ţţËã·¨ Brands prior to their public use, distribution or display for ţţË㷨’s written approval before such use, distribution or display.

At ţţË㷨’s request, you will modify or discontinue any use of the ţţËã·¨ Brands.
