These guidelines are for Druid Technology licensees, authorized resellers, developers, customers, and other parties wishing to use Druid Technology’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 Druid Technology Logo for commercial purposes without the prior written consent of Druid Technology may constitute trademark infringement and unfair competition in violation of Trademark Law of the People’s Republic of China. Use of Druid Technology trademarks may be prohibited, unless expressly authorized.

If you are a licensee of a Druid Technology trademark or logo and have been provided with special trademark usage guidelines with your license agreement, please follow those guidelines.

If you are a Druid Technology Authorized Reseller or member of an Druid Technology program, you may be subject to additional restrictions.

In following these guidelines, you help us protect our valuable trademark rights and strengthen our corporate and brand identities. By using a Druid Technology trademark, in whole or in part, you are acknowledging that Druid Technology is the sole owner of the trademark and promising that you will not interfere with Druid Technology’s rights in the trademark, including challenging Druid Technology’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 Druid Technology trademark. The goodwill derived from using any part of a Druid Technology trademark exclusively inures to the benefit of and belongs to Druid Technology. 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 Druid Technology representative or submit your query to Druid Technology’s Trademark Department.
