Purpose
Homestylesmag.com has posted these Trademark Usage Guidelines (“Guidelines”) to assist you in properly using this site's trademarks, service marks, and logos (our “Marks”). The strength of our Marks depends upon their consistent and appropriate use. Usage outside these Guidelines may dilute Homestylesmag.com's Marks and make them more difficult to protect. Homestylesmag.com reserves the right to change these Guidelines at anytime and solely at its discretion.

Need for a License
Except as identified in these Guidelines, you may not use, reproduce, copy, or redistribute the Marks without a written license (permission) from Homestylesmag.com. These Guidelines are for those entities and individuals who have obtained permission to use one or more of the Marks in promotional, instructional, or reference materials, or on products and services that are subject to
an agreement with Homestylesmag.com. The terms of an express written agreement with Homestylesmag.com together with these Guidelines make up your rights and obligations regarding use of the Marks.

The Marks
Homestylesmag.com's Marks consist of variations of the Homestylesmag.com trade names, as well as the following Marks-, which are subject to change without notice: MARKETPLACE, HOMESTYLES MAGAZINE, HOMESTYLES PUBLICATIONS, and homestylesmag.com's other registered and unregistered trademarks and service marks which may be referred to in your specific license agreement or otherwise.

Proper Use of Homestylesmag.com Marks marks may be used as follows:
To show availability through the Homestylesmag.com brand service
Use words such as "available through" or "supported by" to show that your product is available to Homestylesmag.com members. You may not refer to your product in any way imply that Homestylesmag.com produced, endorsed, or supports the product, unless Homestylesmag.com has expressly agreed in writing to such use.

Use a generic term after Homestylesmag.com's marks
Trademarks are adjectives and modify the generic name of the product (e.g., Marketplace Coupon Service ). You should use a generic term after the first time the mark is used in any materials and as often as possible thereafter.

Do not use a Homestylesmag.com mark in the plural or possessive form
Only when using Homestylesmag.com as the name of our company, may you use the name in the possessive form.

Using Logos
The Homestylesmag.com & design logo, the Marketplace logo and other logos should be taken from a Homestylesmag.com product logo sheet or from a Homestylesmag.com service screen shot following authorization from Homestylesmag.com These logos may only appear with the words, logotype, graphic elements, and spacing which Homestylesmag.com has expressly previously approved for use, and may not be modified.

Variations of Marks
You may not use a variation of the Homestylesmag.com logo, the Marketplace or any other Homestylesmag.com mark. Variations of these marks may confuse consumers as to the source (supplier) of the goods or services bearing the altered mark, and such use may infringe trademark rights and be actionable under relevant laws.

Proper Notice and Attribution
An appropriate trademark symbol (i.e., ®, TM, sm.) should appear at least with the first and most prominent use of a word Mark in all materials. Generally the trademark symbol should appear to the right of the Mark. You do not need to use a trademark symbol in the headline, only in body copy, and the symbol should not be used when referring to Homestylesmag.com to signify the company Homestylesmag.com Coupons, Inc.'s logos should always be used with the trademark symbols designated in the applicable product logo sheet or from a screen shot. When you use our Marks, please include the following brief statement attributing the marks to Homestylesmag.com product or service name as trademarks or registered trademarks of Homestyle Publications and Homestylesmag.com in the United States and/or other countries.

Upon request from Coupons, Inc., you must provide a copy of any product, packaging, screenshot, or other materials bearing a Homestylesmag.com Mark. You must correct any deficiencies in the use of a Homestylesmag.com Mark and/or the quality of the product or service used in conjunction with the Mark upon reasonable notice. Refusal to correct such deficiencies may result in revocation of the license to use the Mark.
