These Savvy Cleaner Trademarks Usage Guidelines (these “Guidelines) outline how we permit the use of Savvy Cleaner’s trademarks, brand names, tradenames, service marks, service names, domain names and logos (collectively, “Savvy Cleaner Trademarks).

We have developed these Guidelines with the following goals in mind: We wish to make it easy for anyone to use the Savvy Cleaner Trademarks for Community-Oriented Efforts in a manner that helps to spread and improve Savvy Cleaner.

For the sake of these guidelines, “Community-Oriented Effort” means a non-profit project or meetup, which is made to encourage the use of the Savvy Cleaner Training, Certifications or Memberships.

If you wish to use the Savvy Cleaner name in a for-profit project, please contact us as specified below.
We wish to make it clear how Community Oriented Efforts can, or cannot, use the Savvy Cleaner Trademarks.

We wish to prevent anyone from using the Savvy Cleaner Trademarks in an unfair profit form and to trick or confuse people who are looking for resources officially released by Savvy Cleaner.

You acknowledge and agree that we are the sole and exclusive owners of the Savvy Cleaner Trademarks and that we retain all intellectual property rights in and to the Savvy Cleaner Trademarks and the goodwill associated with Savvy Cleaner Trademarks and any goodwill generated by your use of any Savvy Cleaner Trademarks will inure to our exclusive benefit.

The Savvy Cleaner Trademarks shall not be displayed in a manner that implies that the project is affiliated with Savvy Cleaner. This doesn’t just mean that to comply with these Guidelines; you can write, “we are not affiliated with Savvy Cleaner” in your footer.

For example, organizing a “Savvy Cleaner Support Forum” might be confusing, and therefore we request that you state that your website is a “Support Forum For Savvy Cleaner.”
