Terms and Conditions – Fair Use of Trademarked Names
Last Updated: [30/04/2025]
Welcome to newvinplate.com. These Terms and Conditions govern your use of this site and explain how trademarked manufacturer names are used in reference to third-party products on this site. By accessing or using this website, you agree to be bound by the terms outlined below.
1. Use of Trademarked Names
newvinplate.com may reference third-party brand names, product names, or trademarks on this website, including but not limited to product descriptions, compatibility references, and comparison content.
All third-party trademarks, logos, and brand names are the property of their respective owners. These references are made solely for identification, comparison, or compatibility purposes and are not intended to suggest any affiliation with or endorsement by the trademark owner.
2. Fair Use Notice
Under the UK Trade Marks Act 1994 (Fair Use of Trademark Name), newvinplate.com may use trademarked names without permission from the trademark owner when such use is:
- Descriptive: Used to accurately describe the third-party product or service.
- Comparative: Used to compare the features or performance of third-party products with this site’s products or others.
- Referential: Used to indicate compatibility.
Additionally, it is considered fair use for a third-party manufacturer or distributor to include the original manufacturer’s name and geographical location (e.g., city, country or address) on the product or its packaging, in a non-stylised, factual manner, solely for the purpose of identifying compatibility with the original equipment. This must not imply endorsement, affiliation, or sponsorship and must avoid using the original manufacturer’s stylised logos, fonts, or brand-specific design elements.
newvinplate.com makes every effort to use manufacturer brand names in a way that respects the rights of the trademark owner while providing consumers with clear, factual information.
3. No Endorsement Implied
Any mention of third-party trademarks or brand names does not imply sponsorship, endorsement, or affiliation with the respective trademark holders. Use of these names by newvinplate.com is purely informational.
4. Disclaimer of Liability
newvinplate.com is not liable for any confusion, misunderstanding, or legal claims arising from the use of third-party trademarks. It is the responsibility of the user to ensure that they understand the nature of the products and any applicable rights associated with them.
