In such references, you must be truthful, must not disparage WHAT’S NEXT MEDIA AND ANALYTICS LLC, and must not mislead the public. You must be clear and accurate as to the nature of the relationship between WHAT’S NEXT MEDIA AND ANALYTICS LLC and your company, its products, and its services. You may not use WHAT’S NEXT MEDIA AND ANALYTICS LLC trademarks in a manner which could cause confusion as to WHAT’S NEXT MEDIA AND ANALYTICS LLC sponsorship, affiliation or endorsement.

Except as stated above, PYMNTS.com trademarks may not be used by third parties without express permission. To obtain permission, please contact us.

General usage

Proper use of PYMNTS.com trademarks reinforces their role as brands for our products and services, and helps prevent them from becoming generic names that can be used by anyone.

  • When a PYMNTS.com product is mentioned in communications, ownership by PYMNTS.com must be attributed in a footnote either on the page/screen where the PYMNTS.com trademark is used, or in the legal section of the communication or site in which it is referenced. For example, ‘Tracker™’ is a trademark of PYMNTS.com or its affiliates.

Domain Names

Do not use PYMNTS.com trademarks or potentially confusing variations in your internet domain name. This helps prevent internet users from being confused as to whether you or PYMNTS.com is the source of the Web site.

Open Source Software

Most open source licenses do not grant, and many exclude, a license of trademark rights. Do not assume you can use the name of a source code base in the name of your distribution developed from that code base. Without a license or permission, you may not incorporate WHAT’S NEXT MEDIA AND ANALYTICS LLC trademarks in the name of your distribution or other products that incorporate open source elements. Truthful statements incorporating a trademark are generally allowed (for example, in the format “MyImplementation, derived from Trademarked ProductName”), but you should check the terms of the license for the original source code or any posted trademark guidelines for the project.
