# Pacifinance Trademark Policy

Pacifinance is an open-source project, but an open-source code licence does not
grant rights to the project's identity. This policy explains how the
Pacifinance name, logo and related branding may be used while making it easy to
discuss, support and build on the project.

This policy applies to the **Pacifinance** name, the Pacifinance logo, project
taglines, and Pacifinance-owned domain names (collectively, the "Pacifinance
Marks"). It does not limit the permissions granted for source code under the
GNU AGPL.

Nothing in this policy claims that every Pacifinance Mark is registered in
every jurisdiction. Rights may also arise from use of an unregistered mark.

## Uses That Do Not Require Permission

You may use the Pacifinance name, in a truthful and non-misleading way, to:

- refer to the official project or link to its repository or website;
- state that your software is based on, compatible with, or integrates with
  Pacifinance;
- describe your contribution, review, tutorial, article or presentation about
  Pacifinance;
- identify an unmodified copy of the official software; or
- advertise services such as installation, hosting, support or consulting for
  Pacifinance.

These uses must not suggest that your project, service or organisation is
official, endorsed, sponsored or operated by Pacifinance. Use only as much of
the mark as is needed to identify the project, and do not use the Pacifinance
logo as your own product, company, application or account icon.

Acceptable examples include:

- "LedgerFox, based on Pacifinance"
- "Hosting for Pacifinance"
- "A guide to deploying Pacifinance"

## Forks And Modified Versions

Forks and materially modified versions must use their own primary name and
visual identity. They may use a clear descriptive statement such as "based on
Pacifinance", provided that they also:

- state prominently that the fork is independent and not an official
  Pacifinance release;
- avoid names, domains and logos that are confusingly similar to the
  Pacifinance Marks;
- do not remove attribution or legal notices required by the source-code
  licence; and
- do not claim that compatibility, security or privacy practices have been
  reviewed by the Pacifinance maintainers.

Calling a modified service "Pacifinance", "Pacifinance Cloud",
"Pacifinance Pro", or another name that appears official requires prior written
permission. Compliance with the AGPL does not by itself grant that permission.

## Community Use

Community groups and events may use phrases such as "Pacifinance community
meetup" when the wording makes their independent status clear. Do not use the
Pacifinance Marks for merchandise, fundraising, paid events or an organisation
name without prior written permission.

Screenshots of the official application may be used for truthful educational,
editorial and documentation purposes. They must not contain real personal
financial data, credentials or other private information.

## Uses That Require Permission

Please obtain written permission before using a Pacifinance Mark:

- as part of a company, product, service, application, package or domain name;
- as a logo or icon for a fork, hosted service or social-media account;
- on merchandise or promotional goods;
- in advertising that could imply endorsement or partnership; or
- in any other way likely to cause confusion about origin or official status.

Permission under this policy is separate from permission under the GNU AGPL.
To request permission, contact the maintainers through the contact options on
[pacifinance.com](https://www.pacifinance.com).

## No Endorsement Or Warranty

Permission to make a descriptive use of the Pacifinance Marks does not mean
that Pacifinance endorses, certifies or provides a warranty for a fork, service
or publication. The maintainers may ask for a misleading use to be corrected
or stopped.

When possible, questions will be handled in a way that supports good-faith
community use while protecting users from confusion about which software and
services are official.
