TRADEMARK SYMBOLS AND CREDITLINES

Proper trademark attribution through trademark symbols and credit lines ensure the public is aware of Acronis’ trademarks and helps prevent them from becoming generic terms. Credit lines also clarify that the associated marks belong to Acronis.

Trademark Symbols

Use of the ® symbol with the appearance of all 'Acronis' marks in all forms of usage other than a body of text, where use of the symbol is only required on the first use. However, it is acceptable to continue use of the ® after the first use throughout the document. Use of the ® symbol is not required if 'Acronis' is used in reference, for example 'the Acronis family of backup and recovery products'.

Credit Line

All products, packaging, manuals, advertisements, promotional materials, and web sites bearing any Acronis trademarks should including the following trademark credit line: 'Acronis® is a registered trademark of Acronis International GmbH and or its affiliates in the United States and other countries.' If multiple Acronis marks are used, include those marks in the credit line after 'Acronis®', and make note if one or more of the marks is not registered; for example:

Acronis®, Acronis Backup & Recovery®, Acronis Compute with Confidence®, and the Acronis logo are registered trademarks or trademarks of Acronis International GmbH or its affiliates in the United States and other countries.

Unauthorized Third-Party References to Acronis and our Products

Acronis International GmbH recognizes that other companies may wish to refer to our company or products. However, we are very determined to protect the value of and goodwill associated with our name and trademarks and also to prevent use of our name or trademarks in a manner that is likely to confuse consumers as to the source of any product, to mislead customers about the nature or source of any product, or to falsely imply that we are affiliated with another company or that we endorse or sponsor another company’s products or services.

Acronis International GmbH may authorize use of its name or trademark by a third party under the terms of a written license agreement or permission, typically granted as part of formal participation in our partner program. If you wish to join our partner program or become an authorized user, please contact {name} at {number} or apply for membership on-line at {link}

In addition to authorized use, the law allows for certain, limited legitimate use of our name and trademark (but not our logo) by the press and others. The nature and extent of a legitimate use is restricted by trademark and unfair competition laws, and is limited to the minimum usage necessary under the circumstances.

All unauthorized and legitimate use of the name Acronis and the mark Acronis® or any of our other trademarks, must conform to the following proper usage rules:

1. When a third party refers to our company, the reference should be closely accompanied by a prominent and clear legend stating clearly that the third party is not affiliated with Acronis International GmbH For example:

Please note that ABC, Inc. is not owned or licensed by or in any way affiliated with Acronis International GmbH and that Acronis International GmbH and its affiliates are not responsible for the content or accuracy of this [website] or for the content, performance or quality of ABC, Inc.’s products or services.

2. Our company should always be referred to by its correct name, 'Acronis International GmbH', not merely 'Acronis'. For example:

'Acronis Virtual Edition' is incorrect.

'Backup & Recovery® software from Acronis International GmbH', is correct.

3. 'Acronis Compute with Confidence®' and our other trademarks must be displayed and used as marks, with a proper ® registration symbol (in regular or superscript) and followed by the product generic name. For example:

Acronis® software

Backup & Recovery® from Acronis International GmbH
