These Seamar Trademarks Guidelines Usage (these “Guidelines”) outline how we permit the use of Seamar’s trademarks, brand names, tradenames, service marks, service names, domain names, and logos (collectively, “Seamar Trademarks”).
We have developed these Guidelines with the following goals in mind: We wish to make it easy for anyone to use the Seamar Trademarks for Community-Oriented Efforts in a manner that helps to spread and improve Seamar.
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 Seamar platform and service.
If you wish to use the Seamar name in a for-profit E-commerce project, please contact us as specified below.
We wish to make it clear how Community Oriented Efforts can, or cannot, use the Seamar Trademarks.
We wish to prevent anyone from using the Seamar Trademarks in an unfair profit form and to trick or confuse people who are looking for service officially provided by Seamar.

Our License
IN PLAIN ENGLISH
If you have a community project, then it’s ok to use Seamar’s name as long as there is no suggestion that the project is affiliated with Seamar.
Subject to the terms and conditions hereunder, we grant to you a limited, non-exclusive, non-sublicensable, non-transferable, revocable license to use and display Seamar Trademarks, solely by these Guidelines and other written instructions provided by us from time to time, and solely as a part of a Community Oriented Effort.
The Seamar Trademarks shall not be displayed in a manner that implies that the project is affiliated with Seamar. This doesn’t just mean that to comply with these Guidelines; you can write, “we are not affiliated with Seamar” in your footer. Instead, you must refrain altogether from using misleading business practices such as using a domain name comprising solely of the word “Seamar” or just using our logo as your website’s logo.
