Purpose

HitNet, Inc.. is a manufacturer of computer software, Internet hosting services and configuration of Internet web servers. HitNet has adopted this Trademark Usage Policy to maintain the integrity of the HitNet trademarks.

To protect our consumers, HitNet works are to assure that HitNet’s trademarks identify HitNet as the source of HitNet’s high quality products and services. For this reason, HitNet prohibits the use of its trademarks in a manner that could confuse or mislead the public.

General Principles

HitNet requests that you observe the following principles when using our trademarks:

Maintain the Integrity of Our Trademarks. Any use of the HitNet trademarks must not disparage HitNet or its trademarks, products or services.

Clearly Identify Sponsorship or Endorsement. Use of the HitNet trademarks must not mislead the public as to an organization's affiliation with HitNet or HitNet’s sponsorship or endorsement of a company and/or products or services.

Apply the Trademark and Service Mark Symbols Correctly. Always use the registered trademark and service mark symbol "®" when referring to our registered trademarks (e.g. HitNet®). Use the unregistered trademark symbol "TM" when referring to our unregistered trademarks (e.g. Hosting). You must use the proper symbol with each of our trademarks, and apply the symbols consistent with these Policy instructions, in every copy of communication, document, packaging or other material in which our mark appears, regardless of the medium.

Connect our Trademarks with HitNet, Inc.. Always provide the following notice at least once within each copy of the communication, document, packaging or other material referencing any HitNet mark:

[Identify mark(s) used] [is a trademark/are trademarks] of HitNet, Inc.. For example: HitNet® is a trademark of HitNet, Inc..

Keep HitNet’s Trademarks Clear, Separate and Distinct. The HitNet trademarks must be used separately from other logos, trademarks or service trademarks, and may not be used as part of the name for any other organization or its products or services. No one, not even a licensed partner of HitNet, may use a name for itself, its products or services that incorporates, or is confusingly similar to, any HitNet mark. Another company's mark can be used in context with a HitNet mark to indicate a relationship between HitNet’s products and services and those of the other company (e.g., Acme Systems® utilizes HitNet® software).

Use the appropriate trademark symbol when using "HitNet" as a trademark to identify the source of one of our products (e.g., "the HitNet® software platform"). You do not need to use a trademark symbol when using "HitNet" to generally refer to our company, HitNet, Inc..
