What Is a Trademark?

A trademark is a word, name, symbol, design or device (or a combination of these) that identifies the goods or services of a person or company and distinguishes them from the goods or services of others. A trademark assures consumers of consistent quality with respect to those goods or services and aids in their promotion.

Unless we grant written permission in a contract or other document, or describe below a permitted use, you may not use any of Iternal Technologies’ trademarks. But, even after we grant such permission, we retain the right to modify or revoke such permission in our sole discretion unless otherwise prohibited in a separate agreement.

What Is Copyright?

Copyrights are exclusive rights in original works, including certain written, pictorial and graphical works, audiovisual works, and computer programs. The owner of a copyright in a work has the right to exclude others from reproducing, displaying, distributing, creating derivative works from, performing, or otherwise using the work. Iternal Technologies owns copyright in its logos, website designs and content, videos and other promotional materials, and its proprietary computer code, as well as other works not specified here.

You may not use, reproduce, distribute, or create derivative works from any copyrighted work, or any portion of a copyrighted work, owned by Iternal Technologies without first receiving a license or a fully executed Permission to Use Trademark and/or Copyrighted Work form accessed here. But even after we grant you permission to use a work by providing you an executed copy of the Permission to Use Trademark and/or Copyrighted Work form, we retain the right to modify or revoke that permission in our sole discretion unless prohibited in a separate agreement. If you have questions about these Guidelines as they pertain to copyright, please contact us at [email protected].
