TRADEMARK

Trademarks, service marks, trade names, and trade dress are all valuable assets of Haas Automation, Inc. ("Haas").

These guidelines are for Haas Factory Outlets, as well as other parties authorized by Haas through a separate agreement wishing to use Haas' trademarks, service marks, trade names, trade dress, images and/or logos (collectively referred to herein as "Trademarks") in promotional, advertising, point of sale, instructional or reference materials, on a website or in any other materials. All use of the Trademarks shall be governed by agreements entered into between Haas and the user herein ("You") along with these Guidelines.

By using the Trademarks, You acknowledge that Haas is the sole owner of the Trademarks and promise that You will not interfere with Haas' rights in the Trademarks, including challenging Haas' use of, registration of, or application to register such Trademarks, alone or in combination with other words, anywhere in the world, and that You will not harm, misuse, or bring into disrepute any Haas Trademarks. Any goodwill derived from using any part of the Trademarks exclusively belongs to and inures to the benefit of Haas. Any use of the Trademarks for commercial purposes without the prior written authorization or consent of Haas may constitute trademark infringement and unfair competition in violation of federal and state laws.

Authorized Use of Haas Trademarks

Usage

The Trademarks may only be used to identify Haas products and services. Use of the Trademarks should be as an adjective, and not a noun. For instance, "buy a Haas CNC machine," not "buy a Haas." Do not pluralize the Trademarks or make them possessive. Do not abbreviate any Trademark, or join it with other words, symbols, numbers or trademarks that do not belong to Haas. Always ensure proper spelling of the Trademarks and designate the Trademarks with an ® symbol if appropriate and in accordance with these Guidelines. The Trademarks should be differentiated from other words when in print, whether the Trademarks appear in print, on a website, in a video advertisement, on packaging, or in other advertising. You may differentiate the Trademarks from the surrounding words by using a proper trademark notice symbol (discussed below). You may also differentiate the Trademarks by, for example, placing the Trademarks in either stylized or capital letters, putting the Trademarks in quotation marks, or using boldface or italic type.

Advertising, Promotional, Point of Sale, Sales Materials and Website Use

Only Haas and its Haas Factory Outlets or other authorized parties may use the Trademarks in advertising, promotional, point of sale, sales materials and websites. Haas Factory Outlets and authorized third parties may use the Trademarks only as provided for in accordance with any agreements between Haas and You, and all use of the Trademarks shall be in accordance with these Guidelines. All use of the Trademarks must always be in conjunction with the appropriate terms that define the relationship authorized by Your contract with Haas.
