General Requirements for Usage of the Marks

Catholic Family Crate trademarks that apply to this usage policy include all applicable Marks, whether registered or unregistered. For questions and to inquire further about the Marks, please contact Support@catholicfamilycrate.com. 

You may use the Marks, subject to restrictions set forth in Agreements and Programs between you and Catholic Family Crate, and this policy, to identify Catholic Family Crate products, services, and programs on packaging, promotional, and advertising materials, provided you meet the following requirements:

1. You may not include any Marks in your company name, product or service name, or domain name.
2. You may not include any Marks in your social media account name, assets, page(s) or community (collectively, “Social Media”), without written authorization from Catholic Family Crate. Upon written authorization, you may use the Marks to describe the purpose of the Social Media forum by referring to the Catholic Family Crate product (“Forum for Catholic Family Crate™ Subscribers,” for example). Social Media includes, but is not limited to Twitter, Facebook (Meta), Instagram, Pinterest, Tik-Tok, LinkedIn, and all other new, existing, and future social and social media platforms not listed herein.
3. You may not include any Mark, including any Catholic Family Crate logo or product icon design, in whole or in part, in your company logo, your product logo, your app launch tile image, in your software product or service or in your Social Media without prior written consent from Catholic Family Crate.
4. You should use an appropriate generic term after a Mark the first time it appears in any usage (whether in electronic or other media, including websites, white papers, technical documentation, manuals, packaging, a download page, app store marketing and Social Media) and as often as possible after that, such as physical product, digital product, software, cloud services, etc. For example, “Catholic Family Crate™” Faith in a Year™ subscription”; “Catholic Family Crate™ Liturgical Art™ prints”; Catholic Family Crate™ Pray by Sticker™ books”.
5. Your product name may not be confusingly similar to any Mark.
6. You may not use any Marks on or in connection with any obscene materials, and your use of any Marks may not be disparaging, defamatory, or libelous to Catholic Family Crate, any of its products, or any person or entity.
7. You may not use Marks in any manner that directly or indirectly expresses or implies Catholic Family Crate sponsorship, affiliation, certification, approval, or endorsement in relation to your product or service, except as permitted by Agreements and Programs between you and Catholic Family Crate. You may not use the Marks in any other way that is deceptive, false or misleading.
8. A Mark may not be the most prominent visual element on packaging, a download page, app store marketing, or other marketing materials for your product or service. Your company name or logo, your product or service name, and your graphic identity should be significantly larger than any Mark.
9. If you refer to a Catholic Family Crate product, you should use the full name of the product in the first and most prominent reference (Catholic Family Crate™ Faith in a Year Subscription™, Catholic Family Crate™ Pray by Stickers™, for example). When using a Mark, use it with a ™, SM or ® in accordance with the Marks in Catholic Family Crate media.
10. You may not shorten, abbreviate, or modify any Mark. Always spell out the Marks exactly as they appear on Catholic Family Crate media and do not modify any of the Marks, including any Catholic Family Crate logos.
11. You should include the following trademark attribution statement in your literature and materials (replace everything in brackets [ ] appropriately): “[List of trademarks used, with ‘Catholic Family Crate’ first, if used, followed by other Catholic Family Crate marks used, in alphabetical order] are either registered or unregistered marks of Catholic Family Crate.”
12. Trademarks and service marks are proper adjectives. Not nouns. Not verbs. A Mark should always be used as an adjective qualifying a generic noun that defines the product or service. A Mark is a company brand name, not a product or service itself. As adjectives, Marks should not be used as plurals or in the possessive form, unless the Mark itself is plural or possessive (such as 1-800-FLOWERS, MCDONALD’S or LEVI’S). You should follow the basic requirements and guidelines for proper Mark usage, as exemplified in the following examples:
