Please ensure that you are following these Guidelines when using Elfie Trademarks, including the requirements and rules as presented below.

Following these Guidelines is obligatory unless otherwise envisaged in the written agreement concluded between you and Elfie. In some cases, these Guidelines are supplementing the rules and provisions envisaged in the agreement between you and Elfie (via incorporation by reference or otherwise).

Note that these Guidelines may be modified by Flo from time to time at its sole discretion. Specifically, ensure that you:

use the appropriate trademark symbol and trademark acknowledgment of Flo’s ownership of the particular Trademark;

do not adopt marks or logos that are confusingly similar to any Flo Trademarks; and
in particular cases when advised to and provided with following Flo Brand Guidelines is obligatory (please pay special attention to Section 3 “Design Elements”).

When using a Elfie Trademark, ensure that you:

1. ALWAYS use such a Trademark as an adjective, accompanied by an appropriate noun (e.g. “Flo™ Health & Period tracker is chosen by over 137 million women worldwide”).
Do NOT use a Trademark as a noun (e.g., “Flo™ is chosen by over 137 million women worldwide”). Do NOT pluralize a Trademark or make it possessive. Do NOT combine a Trademark with other words, symbols, or numbers, either as one word or with a hyphen. Do NOT abbreviate a Trademark;
2. ALWAYS use the proper spelling and the proper trademark symbol (® or ™, as applicable). For the trademark symbol, use the superscript format, but if this is not possible, then use parentheses ((R) or (TM) as applicable); and
3. ALWAYS use Flo Trademarks in the way they were intended to be used. Do not use Flo Trademarks for products, including digital products such as apps or services for which they were not originally intended. Do not alter a Flo Trademark in any way.

In letters, memos, press releases, white papers, advertising, slides, foils, video, and other multimedia presentations, ensure that you:

1. Properly identify (with ® or ™, as applicable) each Flo Trademark at the most prominent use (often in the headline) and again in the first occurrence. For presentation graphics, each Flo Trademark should be designated with the proper trademark symbol on each page, slide, and foil;
2. In newsletters, magazines, and publications containing multiple articles, properly identify each Flo Trademark in the first occurrence in the Table of Contents, in headlines, and in the first occurrence in every article in which it is used;
3. In brochures, financial reports, books, white papers, datasheets, technical documentation, and other bound documents, properly identify each Flo Trademark in the first occurrence in the Table of Contents, in headlines, and in the first occurrence in the text; and

Use of “Elfie” as a Trademark vs. Trade name

“Elfie” is not only a trademark used to identify Elfie’s Apps and services; it also serves as Elfie’s company name. Therefore, the word “Elfie” is generally used in two (2) different ways: (i) as a trade name to identify Elfie, Inc. the company and its subsidiaries; or (ii) as a trademark to identify its various products, including digital products, such as Apps.

As a general rule, the word “Elfie” should be primarily used as a trademark (or a part of the respective trademark) and be associated with its core product (Apps) instead of its usage as a trade name.

However, “Elfie”, may be used as a trade name when Elfie Pte. Ltd. the company (or its subsidiaries) is taking some action or referenced as having some attribute, e.g., in press releases, within job postings, or in publicly available descriptive articles regarding the company’s general activities.
