9. User Requirements and Terms

   All permitted uses of the Proofpoint Marks must conform to the following guidelines:

   • Logo Display. The Proofpoint logo must stand alone. You must maintain a minimum amount of space between the Proofpoint logo and other graphic or textual elements. To preserve the integrity and clarity of the logo, a standard area of "clear space" should be maintained around the logo in all uses.
   • Logo and Background Color. The Proofpoint logo should always be used in color for online use. The Proofpoint logo should also be used in color for print applications unless the color version is not practical, in which case the logo can be reproduced in solid black. The preferred background color for the logo is solid white. When a solid white color is not practical, it may be used on a solid, light background color. The high resolution logo must be used for all print applications.
   • Logo Size. The Proofpoint logos may be provided in different sizes/resolutions in JPG format. To ensure the logo resolution and quality are not degraded, these logos may be reduced in size to fit the requirements of the communication, but may not be enlarged beyond their native/maximum size. The minimum size is 0.25" (6.35mm), measured by the height of the stand alone Proofpoint triangle.
   • No Modification. Proofpoint Marks must be used as provided by Proofpoint with no modifications. Don't remove, distort, or alter any element of the Marks, including changing any colors. Do not shorten, abbreviate, or create acronyms out of the Marks.
   • No Confusingly Similar Marks. Don't use the Marks in a manner that might create potential confusion as to the owner of the Proofpoint Marks or imply that Proofpoint is the source of your products or services.
   • No Incorporation. Don't incorporate the Proofpoint Marks into your own product name, service names, trademarks, logos, company names, domain names, website title, publication title, application icon, favicon, or the like. Don't incorporate or use the logos as part of a word.
   • No Generic Use. Don't use the Proofpoint Marks in a way that suggests a common, descriptive, or generic meaning.

   • Endorsement.

   • Prominence. Don't display the Proofpoint Marks as the primary or most prominent feature on your web page or in any non-Proofpoint materials.

   • Reservation of Rights Proofpoint is the owner of all rights in the Marks and reserves all rights save the limited license granted here. Your use of the Marks pursuant to this license shall not be construed as limiting any of Proofpoint's rights in the Marks.
