Guidelines for Using Pleaser USA Trademarks and Copyrights

Unless otherwise stated, all Pleaser USA trademarks, logos, slogans or taglines as well as works of authorship (copy) and artwork found on Pleaser USA's official website, its catalogs, and advertising/promotional materials (collectively known as "Intellectual Properties") are exclusively owned by Pleaser USA and are protected by the United States and international laws governing Trademarks and Copyrights.

The "Intellectual Properties" are valuable assets to Pleaser USA. In abiding by the following guidelines, you help us protect our valuable rights and strengthen our corporate and brand identities. By using a Pleaser USA trademark, you are acknowledging that Pleaser USA is the sole owner of the trademark, that you will not interfere with Pleaser USA's rights in the trademark, including challenging Pleaser USA's use, registration of, or application to register such trademark anywhere in the world, and that you will not harm, misuse, or bring into dispute any of Pleaser USA trademarks. 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. Any use of Pleaser USA's "Intellectual Properties" that is inconsistent with these guidelines is strictly prohibited and may constitute trademark and/or copyright infringement in violation of the relevant U.S. and international laws.

If you are NOT among the "Authorized Sellers," you are prohibited from using the "Intellectual Properties" without the prior written consent of Pleaser USA.

1. Use of "Intellectual Properties" in Company, Product, or Service Name. You may not use or imitate any of the Pleaser USA trademarks, logos, slogans or taglines as or as part of your company name, trade name, product name, or service name in order to profit from the goodwill associated with them. You are prohibited from using an identical or virtually identical Pleaser USA trademark as a domain name or second-level domain name.

Administrators of such sites are responsible for immediately removing the infringing content and/or turning the sites over to Pleaser USA upon the latter's request.
