Trademark Guidelines

Version: 2.0
Effective Date: September 27, 2026
Last Updated: September 27, 2026

1. Purpose

ripr respects the trademark, branding, and other intellectual-property rights of third parties.

These Trademark Guidelines explain:

how trademarks may be used on ripr;
when trademark use may create confusion;
how trademark owners may submit complaints;
how users may respond to trademark complaints;
and what action ripr may take when content violates these Guidelines.

These Guidelines supplement the ripr Terms of Use, Content Moderation Policy, DMCA / Intellectual Property Policy, and other applicable platform rules.

2. What Is a Trademark?

A trademark may include a:

name;
word;
phrase;
slogan;
logo;
symbol;
design;
image;
trade dress;
or other identifier

used to identify the source of goods or services.

Trademark rights may arise through registration, use, or other mechanisms depending on the applicable jurisdiction.

These Guidelines are intended primarily to prevent users from being misled about the identity, source, sponsorship, endorsement, or affiliation of content, accounts, Digital Assets, products, or services available through ripr.

3. Scope

These Guidelines apply to content and activity occurring through Services controlled by ripr, including:

usernames;
display names;
profile images;
profile descriptions;
token names;
token symbols;
token logos;
token descriptions;
project names;
project artwork;
posts;
comments;
livestreams;
livestream titles;
thumbnails;
images;
videos;
advertisements;
promotional material;
external links;
project pages;
creator pages;
and other content displayed through ripr.

These Guidelines may also apply where a user's overall presentation creates misleading confusion about affiliation with another person, company, brand, or project.

4. Blockchain Limitations

Some information associated with a Digital Asset may be permanently stored on a public blockchain.

ripr generally cannot:

delete a token from a blockchain;
rename an independently deployed blockchain asset;
modify immutable blockchain metadata;
remove historical blockchain transactions;
destroy third-party smart contracts;
or prevent users from independently accessing a blockchain asset through another interface.

However, where appropriate, ripr may control how content is displayed through its own Services.

For example, ripr may:

remove or modify metadata displayed through ripr;
disable access to infringing content through ripr;
remove an asset from ripr-curated discovery surfaces;
restrict search visibility;
remove infringing images or branding;
restrict an account;
or otherwise limit presentation through the ripr interface.

5. General Trademark Rule

You must not use another party's trademark in a manner that is likely to mislead users regarding:

ownership;
identity;
source;
sponsorship;
endorsement;
partnership;
affiliation;
or authorization.

This includes using marks that are identical or confusingly similar where the surrounding presentation is likely to cause users to incorrectly believe that the content, account, token, or project is officially associated with the trademark owner.

6. Uses That May Be Prohibited

Examples of conduct that may violate these Guidelines include:

creating a token that falsely appears to be issued by a well-known company;
using another company's logo to make a token appear official;
creating a profile that impersonates a brand;
falsely representing that a project is sponsored by another company;
falsely claiming an official partnership;
copying another project's name, logo, and branding to mislead users;
using a confusingly similar domain or account identity as part of a scam;
falsely labeling an account as "official";
using another party's trademark to solicit investments by falsely implying endorsement;
or repeatedly creating confusing copies of established brands.

The specific context of the use matters.

7. Permitted References to Trademarks

Merely mentioning a trademark is not automatically prohibited.

Users may generally refer to another party's trademark where reasonably necessary for purposes such as:

commentary;
criticism;
news;
comparison;
discussion;
education;
identification of a product or company;
reviewing a service;
discussing market events;
or describing compatibility.

For example, a user may generally discuss:

a company's stock or tokenized asset;
a protocol by name;
a product;
an exchange;
a blockchain;
or another branded service

without implying that the trademark owner sponsors or endorses the user's content.

Whether a particular use is legally permitted depends on applicable law and context.

8. Fan, Commentary and Community Content

Fan, commentary, parody, or community content may be permitted where it does not create a materially misleading impression of official affiliation.

Users should make the unofficial nature of such content reasonably clear.

Appropriate indicators may include terms such as:

"fan";
"community";
"unofficial";
"parody";
or "commentary."

Adding such a label does not automatically make deceptive use permissible. We consider the overall presentation.

9. Parody

Parody may be permitted where users can reasonably understand that the content is humorous, satirical, or otherwise not official.

A parody may still violate these Guidelines where it is used to:

impersonate the trademark owner;
conduct fraud;
deceive users about a token;
solicit money through false affiliation;
facilitate phishing;
or otherwise create substantial confusion.

10. Token Names, Symbols and Branding

Digital Asset creators are responsible for ensuring that token names, symbols, images, and branding do not unlawfully infringe third-party rights.

Creating a Digital Asset through ripr does not grant the creator any trademark rights in a name or logo.

Token creators must not use branding in a way that falsely represents that a Digital Asset:

was created by another company;
is officially endorsed by another person;
is an official asset of an existing brand;
is a licensed product where no license exists;
or has a partnership or affiliation that does not exist.

11. Public Figures and Personal Names

The use of a person's name, image, or identity may involve trademark, publicity, personality, privacy, or other rights depending on applicable law.

Users must not create content that falsely implies that a public figure or other person:

launched a token;
endorsed a token;
operates an account;
invested in a project;
sponsors a project;
or otherwise has a commercial relationship that does not exist.

Parody, commentary, satire, or news-related references may be treated differently depending on context and applicable law.

12. Company and Project Impersonation

Accounts, tokens, or content must not falsely present themselves as the official account or asset of an existing:

company;
protocol;
blockchain project;
exchange;
wallet provider;
media organization;
government agency;
public institution;
or other identifiable organization.

This rule applies even where the content uses a slightly modified spelling, symbol, logo, or visual identity if the overall presentation is designed to mislead users.

13. ripr Trademarks and Brand Assets

The name ripr, the ripr logo, related visual branding, and other marks associated with ripr are owned by or licensed to Ravant Technologies FZCO.

Except where we expressly authorize otherwise, you may not use ripr trademarks or brand assets in a manner that:

suggests you are ripr;
suggests you represent ripr;
suggests ripr endorses your product or service;
suggests an official partnership that does not exist;
creates a confusingly similar brand;
is incorporated into the name of another commercial product or service;
or misleads users about the source of goods or services.

14. Permitted References to ripr

You may generally use the word ripr when truthfully referring to our Services.

Examples may include:

"Trade this token on ripr";
"My ripr profile";
"I livestream on ripr";
"Built using the ripr API," where accurate;
or "Available on ripr."

Such statements must not imply sponsorship, certification, partnership, or endorsement unless we have actually provided it.

15. Use of the ripr Logo

You may not use the ripr logo as:

your company logo;
your token logo;
your profile identity in a misleading manner;
part of another commercial trademark;
or in a way that makes your service appear to be operated by ripr

without written authorization.

Where we provide downloadable brand assets or specific brand-use instructions, those instructions also apply.

16. No False Endorsement

You must not state or imply that ripr:

endorses your token;
endorses your project;
recommends your investment;
sponsors your company;
approved your content;
audited your project;
verified your asset;
or formed a commercial partnership with you

unless that statement is accurate and authorized by ripr.

The mere availability of a Digital Asset, account, livestream, or post on ripr does not constitute endorsement.

17. Reporting Trademark Infringement

If you believe content available through ripr infringes trademark rights that you own or are authorized to enforce, you may submit a trademark complaint.

Please send the complaint to:

support@ripr.trade

We may provide a dedicated intellectual-property reporting address or in-product reporting mechanism in the future.

18. Information Required in a Trademark Complaint

To allow us to evaluate a complaint efficiently, please provide:

A. Your Information

Provide:

your full name;
company or organization, if applicable;
email address;
telephone number where appropriate;
and a mailing address where reasonably required.

If you act on behalf of the trademark owner, identify:

the rights holder;
your relationship to the rights holder;
and your authority to act on its behalf.

B. Identification of the Trademark

Provide sufficient information to identify the rights asserted, such as:

trademark name;
logo or mark;
registration number, if registered;
jurisdiction of registration;
trademark office;
relevant goods or services;
and supporting registration or ownership information.

A registration is helpful but may not be required where enforceable rights arise through use under applicable law.

C. Identification of the Allegedly Infringing Material

Provide enough information for us to locate the content.

This may include:

username;
profile URL;
token name;
token symbol;
token address;
livestream URL;
post URL;
screenshots;
project page;
or other identifying information.

D. Explanation of the Complaint

Explain why you believe the use is infringing or likely to cause confusion.

Where relevant, explain how users may be misled about:

source;
affiliation;
sponsorship;
endorsement;
or ownership.

E. Good-Faith Statement

Please state that you have a good-faith belief that the disputed use is not authorized by the trademark owner, its agent, or applicable law.

F. Accuracy and Authority Statement

Please state that the information in the complaint is accurate and that you are the trademark owner or are authorized to act on behalf of the owner.

G. Signature

Include your physical or electronic signature.

19. Incomplete Complaints

We may be unable to evaluate a complaint where it does not provide enough information to:

identify the rights claimed;
locate the relevant content;
understand the alleged infringement;
or verify the complainant's authority.

We may request additional information before taking action.

Submitting a complaint does not guarantee removal of content.

20. Review of Trademark Complaints

When we receive a sufficiently complete complaint, we may review:

the claimed trademark;
registration information;
alleged rights;
the challenged content;
how the mark is being used;
the identity of the user;
the goods or services involved;
evidence of authorization;
whether the use appears nominative, descriptive, parodic, or otherwise lawful;
likelihood of user confusion;
applicable platform policies;
and other relevant circumstances.

ripr does not act as a court and does not make binding legal determinations regarding trademark ownership or infringement.

However, we may make platform-enforcement decisions based on the information available to us.

21. Possible Actions

Depending on the circumstances, we may:

determine that no action is appropriate;
request additional information;
ask the user to clarify an affiliation;
require removal or replacement of a logo or image;
remove infringing metadata;
change how content is displayed;
restrict search or discovery visibility;
remove content;
restrict an account;
remove a token or project from ripr-controlled discovery surfaces;
disable access to certain content through ripr;
or take another reasonable action.

Where content exists independently on a public blockchain, our action may be limited to ripr-controlled systems and interfaces.

22. Notification to Users

Where appropriate, we may notify the user responsible for challenged content that a trademark complaint has been submitted.

The notice may include information reasonably necessary for the user to understand and respond to the complaint.

We may withhold information where disclosure would:

violate law;
create a security or privacy risk;
expose confidential information;
or otherwise be inappropriate.

23. Responding to a Trademark Complaint

If you receive notice that content associated with your account has been challenged and you believe your use is permitted, you may respond to:

support@ripr.trade

Your response should include:

your name;
account or username;
identification of the affected content;
an explanation of why you believe your use is permitted;
evidence of authorization where applicable;
trademark licenses where applicable;
evidence that you own relevant rights;
or context supporting commentary, parody, criticism, fan use, or another permissible use.

We may provide your response to the complainant where appropriate.

24. Disputes Between Users and Rights Holders

Trademark disputes can involve factual and legal questions that ripr is not positioned to finally adjudicate.

Where ownership, authorization, or infringement remains genuinely disputed, the parties may need to resolve the dispute directly or through:

negotiation;
court proceedings;
arbitration;
trademark-office proceedings;
or another legally recognized process.

We may maintain, modify, or reverse platform restrictions while such a dispute remains unresolved based on the circumstances and risk of user confusion.

25. Fraudulent Trademark Complaints

You must not knowingly submit:

false trademark claims;
fabricated registrations;
complaints concerning marks you do not control;
complaints intended primarily to harass another user;
or materially misleading information.

Abuse of our reporting process may result in restrictions on future reports or other account action.

It may also expose the complainant to liability under applicable law.

26. Repeat Trademark Violations

We may take stronger enforcement action against users who repeatedly or intentionally violate valid trademark rights.

Factors we may consider include:

number of violations;
seriousness;
intent;
prior warnings;
attempts to impersonate rights holders;
fraudulent use;
scam activity;
and attempts to evade enforcement.

Actions may include:

content removal;
feature restrictions;
suspension;
or permanent account termination.

A severe first violation may result in immediate enforcement.

27. Trademark Abuse Connected to Fraud

Where trademark misuse is also associated with:

phishing;
wallet draining;
investment fraud;
impersonation;
malicious links;
or another serious safety threat,

we may take immediate action under our Content Moderation Policy in addition to reviewing the trademark issue.

This may include removal or account restriction before a complete trademark investigation is finished.

28. Search, Discovery and Ranking

ripr may remove or restrict content from:

search;
Trending;
Emerging;
New;
recommendations;
creator discovery;
livestream discovery;
token listings controlled by ripr;
or other curated surfaces

where we reasonably believe its branding creates substantial confusion or presents a meaningful risk to users.

Such action does not necessarily constitute a final determination of trademark infringement.

29. Historical and Blockchain References

A trademark complaint does not necessarily require removal of all historical references to a disputed mark.

For example, blockchain transaction history, historical market data, or factual references to a token may remain visible where:

deletion is technically impossible;
the data is stored on a public blockchain;
the reference is necessary to accurately represent historical activity;
or continued display is otherwise lawful.

We may add labels or adjust presentation where appropriate.

30. Domain Names and External Websites

These Guidelines apply primarily to Services controlled by ripr.

We generally cannot remove content from independent third-party websites.

However, we may take action against users who use ripr to distribute links to deceptive domains that impersonate a trademark owner or facilitate scams.

31. Relationship With Copyright

Trademark and copyright protect different types of rights.

A complaint about:

a logo;
artwork;
photograph;
video;
music;
written material;
or other creative content

may involve copyright in addition to, or instead of, trademark law.

32. Relationship With Impersonation Rules

A use may violate ripr's impersonation rules even where trademark infringement has not been legally established.

For example, an account designed to deceive users into believing it is an official company account may violate the Content Moderation Policy regardless of whether the company submits a formal trademark complaint.

33. No Legal Advice

These Guidelines provide information about ripr's platform rules.

They are not legal advice and should not be treated as a definitive explanation of trademark law.

Trademark laws differ across jurisdictions.

Users and rights holders should seek independent legal advice where necessary.

34. Changes to These Guidelines

We may update these Trademark Guidelines to reflect:

changes in the Services;
new types of user-generated content;
changes in trademark law;
evolving impersonation or scam patterns;
new reporting processes;
or changes to our enforcement practices.

When these Guidelines are updated, we will revise the Last Updated date above.

Where appropriate, material changes may also be communicated through the Services.

35. Relationship With Other Policies

These Trademark Guidelines should be read together with the:

Terms of Use;
Content Moderation Policy;
Livestream Policy;
Privacy Policy;
DMCA / Intellectual Property Policy;
Non-Custodial Disclosure;
and other applicable ripr policies.

Conduct involving trademarks may violate more than one policy.
