For Resale in the EU and UK regions. In your advertising activities (including, without limitation, the Google Ads platform and any other paid promotion channels), you shall not bid on, target, or otherwise attempt to optimize delivery for any of Skylum’s branded keywords listed in Schedule B, to avoid consumer confusion, misrepresent association or endorsement, or materially harm Skylum’s branded advertising performance. Schedule B may be updated by Skylum from time to time upon written notice (including by email).
In paid search advertising campaigns, the Reseller shall not actively target or bid on Skylum’s branded keywords in a manner that competes with or mimics Skylum’s official advertising accounts or digital properties.
The Reseller shall apply commercially reasonable technical measures to reduce the likelihood that its resale offers appear in Google Sponsored Product units (PLA/Shopping/Merchant or marketplace-driven product ads) when shown in direct response to user queries clearly expressing intent to reach Skylum’s official website or official offers.
Such measures may include, where available and commercially feasible: applying negative matching or brand exclusion signals in product feeds, disabling marketplace or retail-platform smart optimization for branded commercial demand, requesting brand-term suppression from marketplace advertising engines acting on the Reseller’s behalf, or equivalent platform-provided controls.
The parties acknowledge that the Reseller cannot exercise full technical control over third-party marketplace or search-engine advertising ecosystems. Therefore, compliance with this Section 4.7 shall be based on effort-based compliance obligations, not guaranteed placement outcomes.
An appearance of a Reseller offer in a Google Sponsored Product unit resulting from third-party marketplace algorithms, AI optimization, or product feed indexing, shall not automatically constitute a breach, provided that the Reseller can demonstrate that it has taken reasonable and timely steps to suppress or negate Brand-driven optimization.
The Reseller shall not structure advertising or optimization practices to deliberately leverage Skylum’s brand demand to display lower-price resale inventory in a way that reasonably appears intended to divert traffic away from official Skylum offers.
Skylum reserves the right to request evidence of implemented controls or suppression steps in case patterns of systematic brand-query leakage are observed, and the Reseller agrees to cooperate in good faith in providing such evidence.
Skylum retains the exclusive right to present paid Official Website Offers arising from direct trademark-driven consumer demand; reseller advertising must not be designed or optimized predominantly to capture or divert such brand-associated commercial demand through price-competitive product ads.
For Resale in the US and other regions. In your advertising activities (including, without limitation, the Google Ads platform and any other paid promotion channels), you shall not bid on, target, or otherwise attempt to optimize delivery for any of Skylum’s branded keywords listed in Schedule B, to avoid consumer confusion, misrepresent association or endorsement, or materially harm Skylum’s branded advertising performance. Schedule B may be updated by Skylum from time to time upon written notice (including by email).
Additionally, you shall comply with the following:
(a) You must not, directly or indirectly, cause or permit the display of any reseller-owned or reseller-managed Skylum product offers in Google’s paid product advertising surfaces (including but not limited to Sponsored Products, Product Listing Ads (PLA), Merchant Center placements, Marketplace product ad units, smart campaign inventory, and automated product feeds) when such placements are triggered by a user search containing or referencing: Skylum’s branded keywords, Skylum brand names, trademarks, or brand assets, or any commercially associated brand identifiers in any language, spelling variation, or query form.
(b) This prohibition applies regardless of the advertising mechanism, including cases where the placement is generated through: marketplace advertising systems, algorithmic or automated campaign optimization, product feed indexing or syncing, third-party retail promotional engines, or any paid inventory delivery methods not explicitly configured with branded keywords.
(c) You shall implement all necessary technical and commercial controls to ensure proactive suppression of reseller offers from branded sponsored product units, including (as applicable): exclusion from product feeds on brand-triggered queries, application of negative targeting or equivalent suppression signals, marketplace ad delivery restrictions, and contractual requirements imposed upon any third-party platforms promoting inventory on your behalf.
(d) You expressly acknowledge that any reseller offer appearing in a paid product placement on a Skylum brand search constitutes a presumed breach of this Section 4.7, unless you can provide clear evidence of platform error outside your reasonable control.
These guidelines apply to use of the trademark "Skylum, as well as the "Skylum logo, logotype, and all other Skylum Marks in materials that have been approved in advance by Skylum US or other entity designated by Skylum US.
