Using our name without asking us twice.

The name Transglot, the Transglot logo and word mark, the product and engine names we use, our domain names and any other mark we adopt (together, the "Marks"). This policy is a limited permission rather than a licence, it sits alongside the Terms of Service, and it does not transfer any right in the Marks to anybody. Where you are enrolled in the Founding Partner program, this policy applies to your promotion of us as well.

Refer to us accurately and descriptively, in plain text, to say true things: that your product is localized with Transglot, that you offer services around it, that you are comparing it with an alternative, that you are writing about it or teaching it. Use our word mark in the body of an article, a talk, a comparison table, a job advertisement, a README or documentation. Link to our site. Publish a screenshot of the product in a review, a tutorial or a comparison, unaltered except for cropping and redaction. Use the "localized with" badge if you are in the open source program, as that program describes.

Write "Transglot" with a capital T and no space, and do not pluralise it, possessive it into a new word, abbreviate it, translate it or turn it into a verb. Use it as an adjective before a noun rather than as a noun where you can: "the Transglot API", not "we built it on a Transglot". Do not incorporate it into your own compound term. Where you use it prominently, a short attribution line is welcome but not required: "Transglot is a trademark of its owner".

Use the logo only in the form we publish, without redrawing, recolouring, rotating, stretching, outlining, adding effects to, or animating it. Keep clear space around it and do not place it on a background that reduces its legibility. Do not combine it with your own logo into a single lockup, and do not put it inside a shape or a frame that reads as a new mark. Do not use it larger or more prominently than your own branding. If you need an asset in a particular format, ask and we will send you one.

Do not use a Mark, or anything confusingly similar to one, in your company name, product name, app name, service name, domain name, subdomain, social handle, logo or app icon. Do not register a Mark or a variant as a trademark, a domain or a handle anywhere. Do not use a Mark in paid search advertising on our brand terms or on misspellings of them. Do not use a Mark in a way that suggests we sponsor, endorse, certify, review, partner with, own or are owned by you, unless we have agreed that in writing. Do not use a Mark on merchandise for sale. Do not use it in connection with anything unlawful, deceptive or that would breach the Acceptable Use Policy. Do not modify a Mark and then present the result as ours.

You may compare your product with ours and you may criticise us, and you do not need our permission for either. Use our name to identify what you are comparing or criticising, make the comparison accurate and current, and do not present your own claims as though they were ours. We will not use this policy to suppress an unflattering but truthful comparison. We may ask you to correct a statement about our product that is factually wrong.

If you build an integration with us, you may say that it works with Transglot and name our product to describe what it does. Name your integration after your own product, not ours: "Acme for Transglot" is acceptable, "Transglot for Acme" is not, and neither is "Transglot Connect". Do not use our logo as your integration’s icon. If you want to describe yourself as a partner, that word means a written agreement, so ask before you use it.

Journalists, analysts, educators, conference organisers and community groups may use the Marks to identify us in editorial, teaching and event material without asking. A user group or meetup may use our name to say what it is about, in the form "Transglot user group, city", provided it does not imply we run it. We are happy to review a draft or supply an asset if you write to us, and we are happy to say nothing at all if you would rather we did not see it first.

The reverse is also true and it is in the Terms of Service: we will not name you as a customer, publish your logo, or quote you in a case study without your written consent, and you may withdraw that consent for future use on reasonable notice. Nobody should have to negotiate their own name back off somebody else’s homepage.

These rules cannot anticipate everything, and we reserve the right to ask you to modify or stop a particular use, or to withdraw permission, at any time and at our discretion. We will explain what is wrong and give you a reasonable period to fix it, unless the use is deceptive or unlawful. Please do the same for us: if you think we are using your mark badly, write to us and we will fix it.

Anything this policy does not answer, including a request for an asset, a co-marketing use, an event or a use you are not sure about, goes to hello@transglot.ai. Asking costs you an email and saves us both a lawyer, and we answer these quickly because they are usually easy.
