Third Parties may only use the blueCFD® trade mark solely to reference blueCAPE’s software solutions and services. Referential use is prohibited if such use would defame or decry blueCAPE, its products or services.
-
Third Parties may only use the blueCFD® trade mark provided that they accurately portray the relationship between blueCAPE Lda and themselves. Third Parties must not imply sponsorship, affiliation or endorsement of themselves or their products or services by blueCAPE, unless a contractual consent has been made.

Any use of the blueCFD® trade mark by Third Parties in connection with the marketing or promotion of any products or services not provided by blueCAPE must include the following statement: "This offering is not approved or endorsed by blueCAPE Lda, the producer of the blueCFD software solutions and services and owner of the blueCFD® trade mark." (the "Disclaimer")

Third Parties should use the registration mark ® in each initial reference to the Trade Mark, whether used in text or otherwise.
