The absence of a trademark, service mark, trade name or logo from this list does not constitute a waiver of Silverpeas's trademark or other intellectual property rights.

### B. Proper Trademark Use.

When using a Silverpeas logo, you must never modify the design, add or delete any words, or change any colors or proportions. The logo may be scaled proportionally. The logo may in its entirety be displayed in black on white background OR in white on dark - black or one-coloured - background. The typesize of the trademark notice symbol may be adjusted.

## 4. General.

### A. What is a trademark?

A trademark is a word, phrase, symbol or design, or a combination of those things, that distinguishes one company's products and services from the products and services of another. Thus, although a trademark is a symbol of the source of a product or service, a trademark is not the good or service itself. For example, Silverpeas brands its content management product and its other products and services using the Silverpeas trademark and the other trademarks, service marks, trade names, and logos identified in Section 3(A) of this Trademark Policy (collectively, the "Silverpeas Marks" or "Marks").

A service mark is simply a trademark that identifies the source of a service. A logo is a trademark that incorporates a design of some sort, such as the Silverpeas Mark that includes the "turbine" design. A trademark is not the same as a copyright or a patent.

### B. Trademarks and the Silverpeas Public License License.

The Silverpeas Public License is one of the ways by which Silverpeas distributes Silverpeas product. TheSilverpeasPublic License permits third parties to use and redistribute the underlying software under certain circumstances. Such use and/or redistribution of Silverpeassoftware products are much welcomed by Silverpeas, but should be distinguished from the use of the Silverpeas Marks. The Silverpeas Public License does not provide any license or right to use any SilverpeasMark in any form or media. Thus, although a Silverpeas Public License licensee may redistribute the underlying software, a Silverpeas Public License licensee may not use any Silverpeas Mark in doing so without the express prior written permission of Silverpeas. Otherwise, users could be misled into thinking that revisions made by a Silverpeas Public License licensee were created or endorsed by Silverpeas, or that those revisions met the quality control standards of Silverpeas.

### C. To whom does this Trademark Policy apply?

This Trademark Policy applies to all of Silverpeas authorized partners, authorized resellers, licensees, customers, and users of Silverpeas products and services, or products that incorporate Silverpeas products or services, as well as other third parties who wish to use the Silverpeas Marks (referred to as "Third Parties" or "you"). However, except as expressly provided in Section 1(A) below, this Trademark Policy does not constitute a license, implied or otherwise, to use any Silverpeas Mark or the Silverpeas company name. Although we encourage use of the Silverpeas "Conditional use logos" as provided in Section 1(A) above, generally, no person or entity may use any Silverpeas Mark without the prior, express written permission of Silverpeas.

By adhering to this Trademark Policy, you help Silverpeas to prevent confusion in the marketplace and to protect and enhance the value and integrity of its Marks. Silverpeas appreciates your cooperation in this effort.
