Policy Re: Use of Logos, Marks or Trademarks for VinylMayhem.com
The Vinyl Mayhem website and company database contains both licensed and unlicensed
logos which may be trademarks or registered trademarks of their respective companies.
Vinyl Mayhem products are made available for promotional use. For example, many
companies ask us to sell and distribute their logos to enthusiasts as a form of
"Free Advertising", even in custom sizes and colors. The entire fee we collect is usually
kept for this "service". We also have agreements made with some companies to give a
percentage of gross sales back to them (Royalties) for allowing us to use their logos.
The products on the Vinyl Mayhem website are available for sale; meaning, Vinyl Mayhem
may or may not actively manufacture, produce, inventory, distribute or sale any product in
question. In fact, the only product Vinyl Mayhem regularly produces and maintains
inventory are that of its existing clients, who order on a regular basis. All other products
are made to order.
Vinyl Mayhem believes that by making products available, even without license, satisfies
a demand for the enthusiast that some companies are not able to fulfill. Because our
product can cater to nearly every market segment and demographic it would be impossible
to contact everyone, at every company. Additionally, given each company’s structure, our
marketing attempts often go unrecognized by the proper person or department.
Considering each individual company’s policy, making stickers available to enthusiasts may
not be an issue to them. Many times our work has enabled companies to see the value in
our products and services and therefore contact us. Whether we have direct working
relationship with the company of not, Vinyl Mayhem is often praised for making a logo or
graphic. For example: A vehicle that ends up being on the cover of a magazine, in a
blockbuster Hollywood movie, or that’s on a truck & trailer parked right in front of a packed
stadium.
Vinylmayhem.com seeks to act as a liaison between the manufacturer and the enthusiast,
providing a way for enthusiasts to be able to acquire custom logos and designs through
our program.
Any company who wishes to not participate in our program only needs to inform
Vinyl Mayhem of its position. Vinyl Mayhem will honor and respect the wishes of any
company to retain the use of logos or trademarks for its own purposes. Any logo,
trademark, or graphic will be removed upon request or Cease and Desist order.
Vinyl Mayhem pledges full cooperation and compliance to any and all inquires regarding
this matter, and will provide any and all information requested including any manufacture,
sale, distribution, advertising or promotion of the logo or mark in question.
If a business relationship can not be established with an inquiring company or firm, artwork
is of no future use. Vinyl Mayhem will also remove from its website and computer database
any and all logos in question.
Vinyl Mayhem invites all companies and organizations to contact us about setting up a
vendor account with us, or to discuss licensing & royalty agreements.
