Overview
Numecent products fall under export laws managed by the U.S. Department of Commerce, Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS). Numecent is committed to adhering to all applicable regulations governing the export of its products and technology.
Governing Regulations
When referring to Numecent products or services, use the applicable Trademark and ensure that such references:
- are truthful, fair, and not misleading; and
- comply with these Guidelines.
Note that these Guidelines may be modified by Numecent from time to time in its sole discretion. Specifically, ensure that you:
- Follow the directives within these Guidelines.
- Use the appropriate trademark symbol and trademark acknowledgment of Numecent’s ownership of the particular Trademark.
- Do not incorporate Numecent Trademarks into your own product trademarks, service marks, logos, or company names.
- Do not adopt marks or logos that are confusingly similar to any Numecent Trademarks.
Use of Numecent Trademarks
When using a Numecent Trademark, ensure that you:
- Always use the Trademark as an adjective, accompanied by an appropriate noun (e.g. “Numecent® Cloudpaging is an excellent product”).
- Do not use a Trademark as a noun (e.g. “Numecent® is an excellent product”).
- Do not pluralize a Trademark or make it possessive.
- Do not combine a Trademark with other words, symbols, or numbers, either as one word or with a hyphen.
- Do not abbreviate a Trademark. Always use the proper spelling and the proper trademark symbol (®, ™ or SM as applicable). For the trademark symbol, use the superscript format; if this is not possible, then use parentheses ((R), (TM) or (SM) as applicable).
- Always use Numecent Trademarks in the way they were intended. Do not use Numecent Trademarks for products or services for which they were not originally intended, and do not alter a Numecent Trademark in any way.
Identification of Numecent Trademarks
In letters, memos, press releases, white papers, advertising, slides, foils, video, and other multimedia presentations, ensure that you:
- Properly identify (with ®, ™ or SM as applicable) each Numecent Trademark at the most prominent use (often in the headline) and again in the first occurrence.
- For presentation graphics, designate each Numecent Trademark with the proper trademark symbol on each page, slide, and foil.
- In newsletters, magazines, and publications containing multiple articles, properly identify each Numecent Trademark in the first occurrence in the Table of Contents, in headlines, and in the first occurrence in every article in which it is used.
- In brochures, financial reports, books, white papers, data sheets, technical documentation, and other bound documents, properly identify each Numecent Trademark in the first occurrence in the Table of Contents, in headlines, and in the first occurrence in text.
- In all charts and graphs, properly identify each Numecent Trademark — such charts and graphs could become separated, copied, and used independently.

Acknowledgement of Numecent Trademarks
Ensure that you include a proper trademark ownership notice that identifies each Numecent Trademark used as being owned by Numecent Inc. For example:
"Numecent" as a Trademark vs. Trade Name
“Numecent” is not only a trademark used to identify Numecent’s products and services — it also serves as Numecent’s company name. Therefore, the word “Numecent” is generally used in two different ways: (i) as a trade name to identify Numecent Inc. the company, or (ii) as a trademark to identify its various products.
Trade name: “Numecent” is used as a trade name when Numecent Inc. the company is taking some action or referenced as having some attribute (e.g. “Numecent announced its earnings for this quarter”). When referenced as a trade name, there is no need to include a trademark symbol after “Numecent”.
Trademark: “Numecent” is used as a trademark when Numecent is an adjective used as a brand name for its products (e.g. “Numecent® products are designed for enterprise customers and independent software vendors”). When referenced as a trademark, include the proper trademark symbol after “Numecent”.
Logo Usage Guidelines
When using any of Numecent’s logos, you agree to the following:
- You may use the logo(s) only in the exact form provided by Numecent, and only to accurately and actively link from a website that is under your control to the home page of numecent.com — and for no other purpose.
- You may not incorporate the logo(s) into any other logo or design.
- You may not display the logo(s) on any website that disparages Numecent or its products or services, infringes any Numecent intellectual property or other rights, or violates any law or regulation.
- No other logo or design element should appear within 0.5 inches of the Numecent logo.
- At Numecent’s direction, you will immediately remove the logo(s).
- Your limited right to use the logo(s) does not constitute a grant of any other right or license. All other rights are reserved by Numecent.
- Numecent disclaims all warranties, express and implied, regarding the logo(s), including warranties against infringement.
- You agree to indemnify Numecent from and against any and all claims and liabilities arising out of your use of the logo(s).
