·Twilio Trademark Usage Guidelines

·These Twilio Trademark Usage Guidelines apply to Twilio's licensees, authorized resellers, developers, customers, and other parties who wish to use Twilio Trademarks. Twilio Trademarks include the Twilio name as well as our product and service names, logos, taglines, and other symbols, words, and phrases that identify Twilio and our offerings. Find a nonexhaustive list of Twilio Trademarks below.

·Our customers and members of the public have come to know and trust the Twilio brand. Twilio Trademarks are important components of our brand and Twilio has invested significant resources into protecting them. Please help us preserve the trust and goodwill embodied in our trademarks by complying with these guidelines. Any use of Twilio Trademarks outside of these guidelines requires our express written permission.

·Using Twilio Trademarks

·Most uses of Twilio Trademarks will require our express written permission, and use without our permission may constitute trademark infringement under federal and state laws. However, you may make limited use of Twilio Trademarks in plain text to refer to Twilio and our products and services in accordance with the laws on fair use. In general, references must be accurate and use of Twilio Trademarks must not be confusing or misleading with respect to your affiliation with or endorsement by Twilio.

·Use the following Dos and Don'ts as a guide for proper use of our trademarks.

·Do
  • ·Use Twilio Trademarks in plain text that matches surrounding text when referring to Twilio or our products or services.

  • ·Don't stylize Twilio Trademarks or create your own logos or designs for them.
