Global Trademark, Brand and Intellectual Property Notice
Public notice regarding worldwide brand use, ownership and strict enforcement
STATEMENT
SWIPECOR OPERATES GLOBALLY. THE BRAND IS OWNED BY SWIPECOR GMBH.
The international availability, visibility or use of swipecor products and services does not grant any third party ownership, licence, registration or other rights.
1. Global business operations
swipecor GmbH develops, operates and markets its digital platforms, software solutions, applications, services and brand presence across borders and worldwide. The brand is used internationally in relation to users, businesses, partners, media and the public. Such global operations do not affect the exclusive ownership of swipecor GmbH in its trademarks, trade names and other protected signs.
2. Ownership of the brand, logo and signet
The designation "swipecor" and all related trademark, trade-name, company-name and other identifier rights are exclusively owned by swipecor GmbH. The swipecor logo and the swipecor signet are registered trademarks of swipecor GmbH. Protection applies within the scope of the registrations, territories and classes of goods and services in force. All additional rights arising from copyright, design rights, unfair competition law and any other applicable protection remain fully reserved.
Protected assets also include, to the extent owned or controlled by swipecor GmbH, product and service names, claims, domains, social-media identifiers, graphical elements, icons, user interfaces, animations, imagery, presentations, advertising materials, software identifiers, texts and all other elements of the corporate design and brand identity.
3. No implied licence, consent or waiver
Accessing a website, using an application, registering on a platform, entering into a cooperation, linking to content, making an editorial reference or maintaining any other business relationship does not transfer any rights in the swipecor marks or protected signs. Use is permitted only where allowed by law or expressly authorised in advance and in writing by a duly authorised representative of swipecor GmbH. Silence, knowledge or temporary non-enforcement shall not constitute consent, acquiescence or waiver.
4. Prohibited conduct
Without prior written consent from swipecor GmbH, the following is prohibited in particular:
- using "swipecor", the logo, the signet or any identical or confusingly similar sign in the course of trade;
- copying, tracing, altering, distorting, combining, animating or otherwise modifying the logo or signet;
- using protected signs in company names, products, apps, domains, subdomains, social-media handles, event titles, advertising, search terms, metadata, presentations, merchandise or digital assets;
- applying for, registering, reserving or using identical or similar trademarks, designs, domains, business identifiers or accounts;
- creating the false impression of an official partnership, licence, certification, approval, economic connection or affiliation with swipecor GmbH;
- taking unfair advantage of, diluting, disparaging, imitating or otherwise impairing the distinctiveness or reputation of the swipecor brand.
5. Strict enforcement – zero tolerance
ZERO-TOLERANCE POLICY
ANY INFRINGEMENT WILL BE PURSUED IMMEDIATELY AND TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW.
swipecor GmbH will use all legally available civil, trademark, trade-name, unfair-competition, copyright, design, domain-name and, where applicable, criminal remedies.
Depending on the nature, scope and urgency of the infringement, measures may include cease-and-desist demands, contractual undertakings where applicable, interim injunctions, court proceedings on the merits, disclosure and accounting, preservation of evidence, damages, recovery of infringer profits, destruction and recall, reimbursement of legal costs, suspension or removal of content and accounts, domain-name and platform proceedings, customs action and criminal complaints. All further rights and remedies are expressly reserved.
6. Territorial scope and international enforcement
Trademark rights are territorial. swipecor GmbH therefore enforces its rights in Germany, throughout the European Union and in any other jurisdiction where registered, use-based or other enforceable rights exist. swipecor GmbH may instruct local and international counsel and involve platform operators, registries, customs and law-enforcement authorities, courts and competent arbitration or domain-dispute bodies. Global business operations do not mean that a single registration automatically provides worldwide protection.
