Application Name and Description Policy

CLASSITE is dedicated to our community and open source, and our data is made available under the CC0 Free license; however, there are certain restrictions in how applications can use our name and logo. The CLASSITE name and logo are registered trademarks and should be used in accordance with the relevant trademark laws.

You may accurately indicate that your application is integrated with CLASSITE. However, you may not use our brand in Your name in an unauthorized way that implies partnership, sponsorship, or endorsement by us.

The CLASSITE brand includes, but is not limited to, the CLASSITE name, the CLASSITE logo, or any word, phrase, image or other designation that identifies the source or origin of any of CLASSITE's products.

We hereby request you to:

Accurately describe how your application works with CLASSITE, such as:

  • "Log in with CLASSITE"
  • "View your CLASSITE Collection"
  • "Access your CLASSITE Wantlist"

If you want to use "CLASSITE" in your application's name, the usual, accepted way to handle this without implying partnership, sponsorship, or endorsement from us is to have a unique application name, followed by "for CLASSITE".

The following are examples of acceptable usage of the CLASSITE brand in an unaffiliated app:

  • "My Music for CLASSITE"
  • "Vinyl Catalog for CLASSITE"
  • "Collect for CLASSITE"

Please refrain from the following:

Use of our trademark in a way that implies partnership, sponsorship, or endorsement by us, such as:

  • Combination of any part of our trademark with your name, marks, or generic terms
  • Use of names or logos that imitate or could be confused with our ones

Be aware that both Apple and Android have app policies related to copyright infringement and impersonation, and an app that is in violation may be removed from the App Store / Play Store.

Android Policy:

  • Intellectual Property: "Google Play policies prohibit apps that infringe trademarks. If you publish apps on Google Play that use another party's trademarks in a way that is likely to cause confusion, your apps can be suspended and your developer account terminated."
  • Impersonation: "If your app displays the brand, icon, or title from another app in order to get users to download your app, you are leading users to believe that your app is developed by the same entity as the other app and offers similar content or experience. This is an impersonation of the other app and developer, and it is a violation of Google Play’s policies. If you publish apps that violate impersonation policies, your apps can be suspended and your developer account terminated."
