“Yardi” is a registered trademark of Yardi Systems, LLC, the Yardi logo is a trademark, and all other registered trademarks owned or controlled by Yardi Systems, LLC (each a “Mark”) and logos owned or controlled by Yardi Systems, LLC (each a “Logo”) pertaining to Yardi Systems, LLC and its subsidiary and affiliate companies, including, but not limited to, the Marks and Logos of its products and services, are the property of Yardi Systems, LLC. Company desires to license Yardi Mark(s) and/or Logo(s) (collectively, the “Marks”).
Subject to the terms of this license agreement, Yardi desires to license the Marks to Company. In consideration of the parties’ respective obligations under this agreement, the parties agree as follows:
Limited License. Yardi grants to Company a revocable, nonexclusive, nontransferable, non-sublicensable limited license to use and display the Marks subject to the express terms of this license agreement. Nothing in this license, by implication or otherwise, shall confer to Company any rights other than the license expressly granted in this agreement.
Acknowledgement. Company acknowledges that it is familiar with the high standards, quality, style, and image of Yardi and promises that it will, at all times, conduct its business and use of the Marks in a manner consistent with these standards, quality, style, and image.
Authorized Marks/No Alterations. Company agrees to obtain and only use the current versions of the Marks from Yardi’s Corporate Communications department and to comply with all directions and specifications from Yardi. Company further agrees to use the Marks in strict compliance with Yardi’s quality standards and guidelines (“Guidelines”), which Yardi may update from time to time in its sole discretion. Company may not modify the Marks in any way, except to increase or decrease the scale. This includes changes to color, proportion, lettering and content.
Approval of Intended Use. Prior to its use or display of the Marks (including any reference to Company being a Yardi interface vendor or a member of such program), Company agrees to submit to Yardi a sample of its intended use of the Marks; the existence of this agreement does not constitute such approval (except as otherwise permitted below). Yardi shall have the right to approve or disapprove the intended use in its sole discretion. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Yardi consents to Company’s use of the Yardi-provided interface vendor kit (“Kit”) without prior written approval as long as such use strictly complies with Yardi’s Guidelines. If Yardi determines that Company’s use or intended use, does not conform to Yardi’s Guidelines, violates any other provision of this agreement, or is otherwise not approved by Yardi’s Corporate Communications department, Company agrees to make any and all changes, or remove such use, as requested by Yardi, and Yardi reserves the right to revoke its approval of any use at any time in its sole discretion, in which case, Company shall immediately cease all use of the Marks.
Advertisement Restriction. Company may not advertise for any given region or industry vertical without satisfying Yardi’s Guidelines.
No Affiliation. Company shall not represent, express or imply any endorsement by Yardi, or Yardi’s affiliates, directors, officers, employees and agents (collectively, “Yardi Affiliates“), of any product or service, or express or imply an endorsement by Yardi or Yardi Affiliates in any other manner or for any other purpose (e.g., Company must not reproduce or publish the Marks in any manner that might cause a mistaken belief that: (1) Yardi or Yardi’s Affiliates have endorsed Company; or (2) there is some other relationship between Company and Yardi or Yardi’s Affiliates). Company agrees to refrain from representations that Yardi has “certified,” “authorized,” “partnered with” or “accredited” Company or that Company’s organization is a Yardi “partner” or “official interface partner” or any similar implication, representation, or express or implied statement, except for those resources provided in the Kit and only if such use strictly complies with Yardi’s Guidelines.
No Rights Conferred. Company acknowledges that Yardi, and Yardi’s successors and assigns, exclusively own all present and future rights in and to the Marks and any goodwill in connection therewith, including, but not limited to, all copyrights, trademarks (including, but not limited to, word marks, service marks, and design marks), trade names, trade dress, service names, character rights and licensing rights. Company has no right to apply to register for trademark protection, copyright, trade dress, or other intellectual property protection of the Marks or enforce any rights against third parties without the prior written consent of Yardi. All goodwill and reputation generated by the Company’s use of the Marks shall inure to the benefit of Yardi.
No Disparagement. Company agrees not to use or display, and to take reasonable steps to prevent third parties from using or displaying, the Marks in any manner that might in any way detract from, impugn, damage, or legally impair Yardi’s (or Yardi Affiliates’) name, image, reputation or products. Company may use the Marks for legitimate business purposes only. Company may not use the Marks in a way that would defame or disparage Yardi or Yardi Affiliates.
Business Names and Domain Names. Company may not use the Marks (or any mark confusingly similar thereto), individually or in combination, as part of (a) its corporate or trade name, or (b) any domain name. Yardi shall have the exclusive right to register domain names incorporating any Mark.

No other copyrighted or trademarked materials may be included without the express written consent of the copyright or trademark owner. In addition, Company agrees not to sell or transfer merchandise or services bearing the Marks.
Cooperation to Address Confusion. Company shall cooperate with Yardi and provide all assistance in the event of actual or likely confusion by a third party regarding Company’s use of the Marks, including with respect to the nature of the relationship between Yardi and Company.
Enforcement – Notification. Company shall immediately notify Yardi in writing with reasonable detail of any: (a) actual, suspected, or threatened infringement, imitation, or misuse of the Marks, claim that the Marks are invalid, or opposition to the Marks; (b) actual, suspected, or threatened tarnishing of the goodwill associated with Yardi and its Marks, (c) actual, suspected, or threatened claim that use of the Marks infringes the rights of any third party; (d) person applying for, or granted, a registered trademark by reason of which that person may be, or has been, granted rights which conflict with any of the rights granted to Company under this Agreement; or (e) other actual, suspected, or threatened claim to which the Marks may be subject.
