General usage terms

We’re stoked that you're keen on promoting Checkmate!

We wholeheartedly support and encourage people who want to support our mission of accelerating chess as an esport. There are a few rules we would like you to follow to ensure the integrity of our brand remains intact. Unless there's explicit language on this page about the use of Checkmate Brand Assets, you don't need advance written permission.

The term “Brand Assets” includes anything we use to identify Checkmate and Checkmate.live, including our names, logos, icons, and design elements.

By using Checkmate Brand Assets, you agree to adhere to the published guidelines, Checkmate’s Terms of Service and Community Guidelines, and all other Checkmate rules and policies.

  • The permission we grant is non-exclusive (we can give it to others) and non-transferrable (you cannot transfer it).
  • We’ll likely update our guidelines from time to time, and you must follow changes within a reasonable time.
  • Please keep our Brand Assets as they are, without modifying or altering them in any way, such as changing the color or design of our logos, app icons, or screenshots.
  • Unless you're an official partner, do not use the Brand Assets in a way that suggests an affiliation, partnership, sponsorship, or endorsement by or with Checkmate.
  • Don’t present Checkmate Brand Assets in a misleading, defamatory, libelous, obscene, infringing, or any other manner that goes against Checkmate’s Community Guidelines.
  • Don’t use Checkmate Brand Assets on materials that infringe the trademark, copyright, or any other rights of any third party.

To ensure the ongoing integrity of the brand and we can stay on mission, we retain the right to revoke, alter, or amend any permissive uses under these guidelines at any time, at our sole discretion. You agree that we can request changes if needed, and that we can terminate your permission to use our Brand Assets at any time. You must stop using them promptly upon request.

If you have any queries regarding these guidelines, feel free to reach out to hello@checkmate.live or via discord.
