Pitchbox Trademarks and Brand Usage Policy

Effective date: June 10, 2026 · Last updated: June 10, 2026 · Version 1.0

This document (the "Policy") explains how you may use the trademarks, service marks, logos, logotypes, trade dress, trade names, product names, images, and slogans that belong to Pitchbox Inc. and its affiliates (together, the "Marks"), whether or not those Marks are registered, when you reference Pitchbox in promotional, advertising, instructional, or reference materials. We genuinely welcome people referencing our brand. At the same time, the Marks are among Pitchbox's ("Pitchbox" or "we") most valuable assets, and this Policy exists so everyone understands how to use them responsibly.

Why We Have This Policy

The aim here is to strike a balance. Our customers, prospects, vendors, and partners rely on the Marks as a signal of the quality, safety, and reliability they expect from anything official from Pitchbox, and we work to keep that signal trustworthy now and in the future. Protecting our trademark rights is how we make that possible. Just as importantly, we want our customers, prospects, partners, authorized resellers, vendors, and the public at large to feel free to reference the Marks in sensible ways that are unlikely to cause confusion, with clear guidance on the uses we consider acceptable.

This Policy governs every use of the Marks. It supplements, and does not replace, any other permission we may have given you, unless a written consent signed by Pitchbox states otherwise.

Apart from the limited permissions granted here, no other rights are granted, whether by implication or otherwise. If you would like to use any Mark in a way this Policy does not expressly allow, and that is not already covered by a legal exception such as fair use, write to us at legal@pitchbox.com and we will gladly consider it. However your use is authorized, any goodwill arising from it belongs solely to Pitchbox.

We may revise this Policy from time to time, so it is worth checking back periodically for the current version.

Which Marks This Covers

The Marks include every registered and unregistered trademark and service mark that Pitchbox owns or uses, including its logos, logotypes, trade dress, trade names, product names, images, and slogans. Keep in mind that registration is not a prerequisite for ownership; Pitchbox holds rights in its Marks whether or not they are registered.

Pitchbox holds trademarks across a number of international jurisdictions. To learn more about our registered Marks worldwide, or if you have a question about our rights in a particular Mark, consult the WIPO Global Brand Database or reach out at legal@pitchbox.com .

The following Marks are registered in the United States:

  • Pitchbox®, U.S. Reg. No. 7334298
  • Chasebox®, U.S. Reg. No. 6783406

General Principles of Use

These requirements apply to everyone who uses the Pitchbox Marks.

Permission comes first. Unless this Policy specifically allows it, or Pitchbox has given written consent, you may not use the Marks. That includes using them:

  • as part of the name of your business, product, service, app, or other offering;
  • in domain names, social media handles, or community names, since people who encounter them tend to assume an official Pitchbox connection;
  • on promotional merchandise you sell or give away, such as t-shirts and mugs;
  • in advertising of any kind, including creative, digital, social, and PPC;
  • in metatags or any other hidden text.

Use the Marks exactly as they are. Always present the Marks in their complete, current form and color. Do not alter, animate, distort, recolor, refont, rescale, or otherwise modify them, combine them with your own marks or with other symbols, words, images, or designs, or fold them into a tagline or slogan. Retire any older versions you may still have.

Mark and attribute the Marks.

  • This is optional but appreciated: pair Pitchbox's registered trademarks and service marks with the "™" symbol to flag them as trademarks, and use the "®" symbol wherever the Mark is in fact registered. When in doubt, "™" is always safe. Never apply "®" to a Mark that is not registered in the place where you are using it.
  • We would also be grateful if you set off the first or most prominent reference to a Mark from the surrounding text by capitalizing, italicizing, bolding, or underlining it.
  • Please place this notice near that first or most prominent reference: [mark] is a trademark or registered trademark of Pitchbox Inc. in the U.S. and other countries. All rights reserved.

Do not mislead anyone.

  • Your use of the Marks must never confuse people or be false or misleading. For instance, do not use the Marks in a way that falsely suggests Pitchbox endorses, sponsors, partners with, or is otherwise affiliated with you when that is not the case, or in any way that could diminish, harm, or damage Pitchbox's reputation or the goodwill tied to the Marks.
  • Do not adopt any trademark, domain name, or logo that imitates or could be confused with our Marks, or that hints at an affiliation that does not exist.

Treat the Marks with respect. Do not overlay our Marks with shapes or photographs, and do not pair them with anything vulgar, obscene, indecent, or unlawful.

Specific Rules for Particular Uses

Publications, seminars, and conferences. You may reference the Marks in the title or description of a publication, seminar, or conference when:

  • the Marks relate directly to a specific Pitchbox product or service that the publication, seminar, or conference actually covers;
  • you are sharing your own experiences, recommendations, or commentary about Pitchbox products and services. If so, make clear the views are yours, and add a generic descriptor next to the Mark, such as "service", "tool", or "product", so readers understand the reference;
  • you use screenshots of Pitchbox product pages, provided you do not edit them beyond resizing, do not crop them to portions, do not embed them in your own product or interface, do not use ones containing third-party content, and do not use ones showing an identifiable person's image or name or any other personal data.

You may not use the Marks:

  • as the first word or the most prominent element of your publication, seminar, or conference title without our written consent;
  • more prominently than your own product or service name, for example in larger type or higher on the page;
  • in any way that could harm Pitchbox's reputation or goodwill, such as disparaging Pitchbox or our products or services, or casting Pitchbox in a false, competitively adverse, or unflattering light.

If your materials carry a trademark footnote identifying your own or third-party trademarks, please include this line in it: "All other trademarks are the property of their respective owners".

Partners and vendors. You may not describe us as your partner or client using the Marks unless we have given you written consent that specifies which Marks you may use and how. To illustrate: if Pitchbox is your client and your contract says nothing about using our Marks, that silence is not permission; you would still need to ask us in writing.

Authorized resellers. If you are an authorized Pitchbox reseller, your use of the Marks follows your agreement with Pitchbox. The rules above apply, and so do these:

  • always include the ® or ™ symbol, as appropriate, on every material that uses the Marks;
  • do not register the Marks anywhere, assign any such registrations to Pitchbox, and do not adopt, use, or try to register anything confusingly similar to the Marks or that builds new marks out of them;
  • submit samples of every product and material bearing the Marks to Pitchbox for quality-assurance review before you use, distribute, or display them publicly;
  • obtain Pitchbox's written approval before using, distributing, or displaying the Marks;
  • promptly change or stop your use of the Marks if Pitchbox asks, where Pitchbox determines the use does not meet its current Mark usage policies or guidelines.

Affiliate program participants. If you take part in Pitchbox's affiliate program, your use of the Marks is also governed by the affiliate program's terms and conditions, which apply alongside this Policy.

Pitchbox Academy graduates. Once you complete the relevant certification program, Pitchbox badges and certificates become available to you. After passing your certification test, you are welcome to note on your website or social media that you hold a certificate from Pitchbox Academy, displaying the Pitchbox Marks. That use still has to follow the requirements in this Policy.

Additional Terms

When you use the Marks, in whole or in part, you acknowledge that Pitchbox is their sole owner and agree not to interfere with Pitchbox's rights in them. That means you will not challenge the Marks or their use, will not register or attempt to register them anywhere in the world (whether on their own or combined with other words), and will not harm, misuse, or call into dispute any of the Marks.

You also agree that Pitchbox solely owns the Marks and all goodwill connected to them, and that Pitchbox is the sole beneficiary of any goodwill your use generates.

Pitchbox reserves every right not expressly granted in this Policy.

Pitchbox may withdraw these permissions at any time and at its sole discretion, either generally or for your specific use.

Reporting Misuse

We appreciate your cooperation in any legal action we may bring, at our own expense, to prevent or stop unauthorized use of the Marks. If you spot misuse of the Marks, please tell us at legal@pitchbox.com with as much detail as you can about what you believe is infringing. We will look into it and, where warranted, decide on the appropriate response at our sole discretion.
