Â鶹ÊÓƵ

These guidelines are for Â鶹ÊÓƵ licensees, authorized resellers, developers, customers, and other parties wishing to use Â鶹ÊÓƵ's trademarks, service marks, or images in promotional, advertising, instructional, or reference materials, or on their web sites, products, labels, or packaging. Use of Â鶹ÊÓƵ trademarks may be prohibited, unless expressly authorized.

If you are a licensee of a Â鶹ÊÓƵ trademark or logo 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.

Â鶹ÊÓƵ's trademarks, service marks, trade names, and trade dress are important assets. In following these guidelines, you help us protect our valuable trademark rights and strengthen our corporate and brand identities. By using a Â鶹ÊÓƵ trademark, in whole or in part, you are acknowledging that Â鶹ÊÓƵ is the sole owner of the trademark and promising that you will not interfere with Â鶹ÊÓƵ's rights in the trademark, including challenging Â鶹ÊÓƵ'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 Â鶹ÊÓƵ trademark. The goodwill derived from using any part of a Â鶹ÊÓƵ trademark exclusively inures to the benefit of and belongs to Â鶹ÊÓƵ. 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 Â鶹ÊÓƵ.

Rules for Proper Use of Â鶹ÊÓƵ Trademarks

Trademarks are adjectives used to modify nouns; the noun is the generic name of a product or service. As adjectives, trademarks may not be used in the plural or possessive form. Do not use a trademark as a verb. An appropriate generic term must appear after the trademark the first time it appears in a printed piece and as often as is reasonable after that.

Always spell and capitalize Â鶹ÊÓƵ's trademarks exactly as they are shown in Â鶹ÊÓƵ’s Products web page. Do not shorten or abbreviate Â鶹ÊÓƵ product names. Do not make up names that contain Â鶹ÊÓƵ trademarks.

When making fair use of a Â鶹ÊÓƵ trademark, you must mark and attribute them as outlined in these guidelines.

Â鶹ÊÓƵ trade dress may not be used by third parties for their own products or web sites. Please ensure that your product line, packaging, advertising or web site does not adopt a look that is confusingly similar to any of Â鶹ÊÓƵ’s.

Authorized Use of Â鶹ÊÓƵ Trademarks

Advertising, Promotional, and Sales Materials

Only Â鶹ÊÓƵ and its authorized resellers and licensees may use the Â鶹ÊÓƵ Logo in advertising, promotional, and sales materials. Â鶹ÊÓƵ Authorized Resellers may use the Â鶹ÊÓƵ Logo only as specified in their reseller agreement.

Compatibility

Developers may use Â鶹ÊÓƵ or any other Â鶹ÊÓƵ word mark (but not the Â鶹ÊÓƵ Logo or other Â鶹ÊÓƵ-owned graphic symbol/logo) in a referential phrase on packaging or promotional/advertising materials to describe that the third party product is compatible with the referenced Â鶹ÊÓƵ product or technology, provided they comply with the following requirements:

• The Â鶹ÊÓƵ word mark is not part of the product name.
• The Â鶹ÊÓƵ word mark is used in a referential phrase such as "for use with," "for," or "compatible with."
• The Â鶹ÊÓƵ word mark appears less prominent than the product name.
• The product is in fact compatible with, or otherwise works with, the referenced Â鶹ÊÓƵ product.
• The reference to Â鶹ÊÓƵ does not create a sense of endorsement, sponsorship, or false association with Â鶹ÊÓƵ or Â鶹ÊÓƵ products or services.
• The use does not show Â鶹ÊÓƵ or its products in a false or derogatory light.

Publications, Seminars, and Conferences

You may use a Â鶹ÊÓƵ word mark in connection with book titles, magazines, periodicals, seminars, or conferences provided you comply with the following requirements:

• The use reflects favorably on both Â鶹ÊÓƵ and Â鶹ÊÓƵ products or technology.
• Your name and logo appear more prominent than the Â鶹ÊÓƵ word mark on all printed materials related to the publication, seminar or conference.
• The Â鶹ÊÓƵ logo or any other Â鶹ÊÓƵ-owned graphic symbol, logo, icon or image does not appear on or in the publication or on any materials related to the publication, seminar, or conference without express written permission from Â鶹ÊÓƵ.
• A disclaimer of sponsorship, affiliation, or endorsement by Â鶹ÊÓƵ, similar to the following, is included on the publication and on all related printed materials: "(Title) is an independent (publication) and has not been authorized, sponsored, or otherwise approved by Â鶹ÊÓƵ."
• A trademark attribution notice is included in the credit section giving notice of Â鶹ÊÓƵ’s ownership of its trademark(s). Please refer to the section below titled "Proper Trademark Notice and Attribution."

Links

You may place a link to a Â鶹ÊÓƵ web page on your site if the text link is not a prominent feature on the site or used in a way to mislead or confuse consumers. You may refer to the Â鶹ÊÓƵ name or product or service names in a plain text font and format provided the use follows Â鶹ÊÓƵ's trademark guidelines and you include appropriate wording such as "link to weyerhaeuser.com".

Unauthorized Use of Â鶹ÊÓƵ Trademarks

Company, Product, or Service Name

You may not use or register, in whole or in part, Â鶹ÊÓƵ or any other Â鶹ÊÓƵ trademark, including Â鶹ÊÓƵ-owned graphic symbols, logos, icons, or an alteration thereof, as or as part of a company name, trade name, product name, or service name except as specifically noted in these guidelines or pursuant to an express written license from Â鶹ÊÓƵ.

Â鶹ÊÓƵ Logo and Â鶹ÊÓƵ-owned Graphic Symbols

You may not use the Â鶹ÊÓƵ Logo or any other Â鶹ÊÓƵ-owned graphic symbol, logo, or icon on or in connection with web sites, products, packaging, manuals, promotional/advertising materials, or for any other purpose except pursuant to an express written trademark license from Â鶹ÊÓƵ, such as a reseller agreement. You may request permission to use the Â鶹ÊÓƵ Logo or any other Â鶹ÊÓƵ-owned logo by contacting us.

Variations, Takeoffs or Abbreviations

You may not use an image of a real Â鶹ÊÓƵ logo or other variation of the Â鶹ÊÓƵ logo for any purpose. Third parties cannot use a variation, phonetic equivalent, foreign language equivalent, takeoff, or abbreviation of a Â鶹ÊÓƵ trademark for any purpose.

Slogans and Taglines

You may not use or imitate a Â鶹ÊÓƵ slogan or tagline.

Â鶹ÊÓƵ's Trade Dress and Advertising Elements

Â鶹ÊÓƵ trade dress may not be used by third parties for their own products or websites. Please ensure that your product line, packaging, advertising or web site does not adopt a look that is confusingly similar to any of Â鶹ÊÓƵ’s. All page headers, custom graphics, button icons, and scripts are trademarks and/or trade dress of Â鶹ÊÓƵ and may not be copied, imitated, or used in whole or in part, without the prior written permission of Â鶹ÊÓƵ.

Endorsement or Sponsorship

Â鶹ÊÓƵ does not support the use of its logos, company names, product names, or images of Â鶹ÊÓƵ products by other parties in marketing, promotional or advertising materials as their use may create the perception that Â鶹ÊÓƵ endorses or sponsors the product, service or promotion.

Domain Names

You may not use any Â鶹ÊÓƵ trademark or virtually identical trademark in the title of your web site, as a second-level domain name, or subdomain.

Not acceptable:

• "trusjoist.com"
• "trusjoistÂ鶹ÊÓƵ.com"
• "Yourname.Â鶹ÊÓƵ.com"

Merchandise Items

You may not manufacture, sell or give-away merchandise items, such as T-shirts and mugs, bearing Â鶹ÊÓƵ or any other Â鶹ÊÓƵ trademark, including symbols, logos, or icons, except pursuant to an express written trademark license from Â鶹ÊÓƵ.

Disparaging Manner

You may not use a Â鶹ÊÓƵ trademark or any other Â鶹ÊÓƵ-owned graphic symbol, logo, or icon in a disparaging manner.

Proper Â鶹ÊÓƵ Trademark Notice and Attribution

All Â鶹ÊÓƵ trademarks must be property attributed. Trademark ownership is attributed in two ways:

• With the use of a trademark symbol (TM, SM, ®) after the trademark.
• With a trademark legend, usually placed at the end of a document in fine print directly after the copyright notice

Trademark Symbols

The appropriate trademark symbol must be used when making reference to any Â鶹ÊÓƵ trademarks. The appropriate symbol for each of Â鶹ÊÓƵ’s trademarks is indicated in the products section of this website. If a product or trademark is not listed, please contact trademarks@weyerhaeuser.com.

Wherever possible, the symbol should be placed directly after the trademark in a superscript and in a size smaller than the mark itself. If you are unable to use the symbols due to the software you are using, you should use parenthetical versions as follows: (R), (tm), or (sm).

The trademark symbol does not need to be included in every use of the trademark. The trademark symbol must always be used:

• Upon the first use of the Â鶹ÊÓƵ trademark appears the text of the advertisement, brochure, or other material; and
• For all prominent uses of the trademark including title pages or headings.

Trademark Legends

Â鶹ÊÓƵ trademarks and products must be properly identified as originating from Â鶹ÊÓƵ by including a brief statement (legend) attributing ownership of these trademarks to Â鶹ÊÓƵ within the credit notice section of your product, product documentation, or other product communication. The following legend should be used on all materials that reference Â鶹ÊÓƵ trademarks:

• Â鶹ÊÓƵ, [list Â鶹ÊÓƵ trademarks/products referenced in the materials], are trademarks or registered trademarks of Â鶹ÊÓƵ NR Company or its subsidiaries in the U.S. and other countries.

The trademark legend must be clear in order to avoid any confusion over who is the owner of each mark. Following are the correct formats:

• Â鶹ÊÓƵ and Trus Joist are registered trademarks of Â鶹ÊÓƵ NR Company.

Â鶹ÊÓƵ trademarks should be specifically credited and not referred to generically as "...all other trademarks are owned by their respective companies" or similar language.

Do not use or add any other statements to the legend that in any way suggest that you have or are claiming any rights in a Â鶹ÊÓƵ trademark.

No Challenges

You agree that you will not challenge, encourage, assist, or otherwise induce third parties to challenge the Â鶹ÊÓƵ marks (except to the extent such restriction is prohibited by law) or our registration thereof, nor shall you attempt to register any trademarks, service marks, trade names, logos, product names, service names, legends, domain names, other designations, or abbreviations of any of the foregoing, or other distinctive brand features that are confusingly similar in any way (including, but not limited to, appearance and spelling)to the Â鶹ÊÓƵ marks.

THE USES PERMITTED HEREUNDER ARE PROVIDED BY WEYERHAEUSER "AS IS", WITHOUT ANY WARRANTIES WHATSOEVER, INCLUDING (WITHOUT LIMITATION) ANY WARRANTY OF NON-INFRINGEMENT.
