Use of Cloudflare trademarks by Cloudflare suppliers and vendors

Suppliers and vendors to Cloudflare are not allowed to use Cloudflare trademarks in connection with the products and services provided to Cloudflare without our written permission. Please contact your Cloudflare representative with any questions regarding the approval process. If you have Cloudflare’s written permission to use Cloudflare trademarks, you must follow the guidelines below unless you have been provided with special trademark usage guidelines in writing.

When allowed, how may I use the trademarks?

  • Properly designate (with ®, ™, or ℠) all of Cloudflare trademarks the first time the trademark appears in text.

  • Include an appropriate trademark attribution statement, for example, “Cloudflare, the Cloudflare logo, and Cloudflare Workers are trademarks and/or registered trademarks of Cloudflare, Inc. in the United States and other jurisdictions.” Place the statement at the bottom of the first page on which you use a Cloudflare trademark.

  • Cloudflare spelling should never be changed and Cloudflare should always be capitalized.

  • “Cloudflare” should not be used as part of a brand name, joined with a hyphen, or used in names of applications or other products. Instead use in a referential phrase such as “runs on,” “for use with,” “for,” or “compatible with.”

    • Incorrect: “iCloudflare”

    • Incorrect: “My Cloudflare App”

    • Correct: “My App for Cloudflare®”

    • Correct: “Hosting Company’s Special Promotion for Cloudflare® subscriptions”

  • If used with a third-party logo, "for Cloudflare" needs to be smaller in size than the third-party logo.

  • Cloudflare trademarks should be used as an adjective and followed by a proper generic term; they may never be used in a plural or possessive form.

    • Incorrect: “Cloudflare Optimizer”

    • Correct: “Cloudflare services”

  • Cloudflare trademarks should never be used as a verb.

    • Incorrect: “we Cloudflared our site.”

    • Correct: “we use Cloudflare services to make our site faster, safer, and smarter.”

What should I avoid when using Cloudflare trademarks?

  • Only truthful, fair references are acceptable. Misleading references are prohibited. For instance, it is not permissible to say that a site uses Cloudflare services and applications when it does not.

  • You may not use any Cloudflare trademark or logo which would imply that Cloudflare has an affiliation with or endorsement, sponsorship, or support of a third-party product or service, without express written permission.

  • Cloudflare trademarks, graphic symbols, logos, typeface, or icons may not be used in a disparaging manner.

  • Under no circumstances shall a letter string that is identical, nearly identical, or confusingly similar to any Cloudflare trademark be used as a domain name. For example, cloudfliare.com is both nearly identical and confusingly similar.

  • Third parties may not use variations or misspellings or act in any way that would cause any initial interest confusion over Cloudflare trademarks.

  • Other than authorized partners or authorized resellers, third parties may not bid for keywords, Google AdWords, or other targeted advertising systems using Cloudflare marks or misspellings. Nor may third parties use Cloudflare marks in domain names, any search engine optimization, meta tags, search terms, code, or other misrepresentation.

  • You may not display Cloudflare trademarks or branding on a site or on material that violates any law or regulation.

  • You may not incorporate Cloudflare trademarks or branding into your own product name, service names, trademarks, logos, or company names.

  • You may not use Cloudflare trademarks on merchandise for sale (e.g., selling t-shirts, mugs, etc.)
