Guidelines for Use of the SAS Name and Logo
General Information
Although we'd like to accommodate all the
requests we receive from users who want to reference SAS in their
sites, we are passionate about protecting the reputation of our
organization as an advocate for responsible citizen science. That
means we have to turn down many requests because sites imply that
SAS is endorsing them or is otherwise affiliated with them. The
same applies if SAS's name, logo, web pages, screen shots, or other
Distinctive Features are associated with objectionable material,
as determined by SAS.
As a result, we require that you have SAS's
explicit written permission before referencing SAS in any way that
might imply affiliation or endorsement by SAS. If you have a written
agreement with SAS that specifically addresses how you may use its
name, logo, web pages, screen shots, etc., you don't need to go
through the approval process here unless you want to do something
other than what has been authorized in your existing agreement.
Otherwise, the only time you can use SAS Distinctive Features without
advance written permission is if there is clear and express language
on our website stating that you can use those features without first
obtaining permission.
SAS may provide you with written requirements
as to the size, typeface, colors, and other graphic characteristics
of the SAS Distinctive Features. If we provide these requirements
to you at the time of our approval, you must implement them before
using our Distinctive Features. If we provide these requirements
to you after we initially gave our permission, you must implement
them within a commercially reasonable timeframe.
About Our Logo
If you are using the SAS logo on a non-SAS
web page, the SAS logo must appear by itself in a manner that does
not in any way indicate to viewers of the web page that SAS endorses
the products, services, or information provided on that web page.
Things You Can't Do
You can't (and agree not to) do any of the following:
- Display a SAS Distinctive Feature as the
most prominent element on your web page;
- Display a SAS Distinctive Feature in any
manner that implies a relationship or affiliation with, sponsorship,
or endorsement by SAS, or that can be reasonably interpreted to
suggest editorial content has been authored by, or represents
the views or opinions of SAS or SAS personnel;
- Display a SAS Distinctive Feature on any
Web site that contains or displays adult content, promotes gambling,
involves the sale of tobacco or alcohol to persons under twenty-one
years of age, or otherwise violates applicable law;
- Display a SAS Distinctive Feature in a
manner that is in SAS's sole opinion misleading, defamatory, infringing,
libelous, disparaging, obscene or otherwise objectionable to SAS;
- Display a SAS Distinctive Feature on a
site that violates any law or regulation;
- Frame or mirror any SAS page (including
the page that appears in response to a click on the SAS logo or
SAS search box); or
- Remove, distort or alter any element of
a SAS Distinctive Feature.
Approval Process
To request approval, send us an e-mail
requesting permission. Although we will try to respond within 10
business days, we cannot guarantee that, and you can't use SAS's
Distinctive Features until we have expressly granted you approval.
The approval to use SAS's Distinctive Features
is limited to the information provided in your request. If your
anticipated use changes, before or after, SAS grants approval, you
must update your request accordingly.
Please note that we can only give you permission
to use the SAS Distinctive Features. We cannot give you permission
to use any Distinctive Features belonging to third parties.
