a. Grant of License; Term. Once You have executed Your Agreement and paid the applicable Fees, and provided You are in compliance with the terms and conditions of Your Agreement and Your Active Credentials, SAI hereby grants You a revocable, limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable worldwide personal license to use, reproduce and publicly display the Marks related to such Active Credentials for the term of Your Agreement only in connection with the Permitted Activities and the promotion of Your status under Your Active Credential(s). You may use the Marks related to Your Active Credentials on promotional displays and in advertising materials (“Materials”) in accordance with the guidelines in Your Agreement. This license grant is limited to You and does not by extension grant any rights to your Affiliates or to any third party or entity with which You may work or perform services to use the Marks independent from You; subject, however, to the exception of permitting websites other than the Scrum Alliance Sites to list Your Credential solely in reference to You and any additional exceptions set forth in Your Agreement. Subject to the foregoing, this license continues solely during the Term.
b. Mark Ownership. You acknowledge and agree that the Marks are SAI’s valuable property, and SAI is the sole and exclusive owner of all rights, title and interests in and to the Marks. Any and all past, present or future goodwill arising from Your use of the Marks will inure solely and exclusively to SAI’s benefit, and You will not be compensated for the value, if any, that You contribute to the goodwill of the Marks. You have no ownership rights in the Marks and agree not to represent in any manner that You have acquired any ownership rights in the Marks. You shall not grant or attempt to grant a security interest in, or otherwise encumber, any Mark or record any such security interest or encumbrance against any application or registration regarding any Mark in the United States Patent and Trademark Office or elsewhere.
c. Prior Approval of Materials. Upon SAI’s request, You will submit to SAI in advance, for SAI’s prior written approval, examples of all Material(s) not prepared by or previously authorized by SAI in which the Marks are to be used. Appropriate use of the Marks is specified in Your Agreement. SAI’s approval pursuant to this section may be based solely upon SAI’s standards and may be withheld in the sole discretion of SAI. You may not use the Marks in any manner that would reflect adversely on SAI or on the goodwill, image or quality symbolized by the Marks.
d. No Confusing Trade Names or Marks. Unless permitted hereunder or with SAI’s prior written consent, You agree not to use, or file for registration of, any Trade Name that, in SAI’s sole opinion, is the same as, or likely to cause confusion with, any or all of SAI’s Trade Names, including, without limitation, the Marks that SAI licenses to You under Your Agreement. If requested, You must disclose all Trade Names used by You or Your Affiliates that contain the following terms: “SCRUM ALLIANCE”, “CERTIFIED,” or any words or acronyms corresponding to these terms or that are otherwise similar to the Marks. SAI reserves the right to withhold or suspend Your Credential should You refuse to cooperate with SAI in identifying and, if necessary, resolving the use of such Trade Names.
e. No Confusing Domain Names, Keywords, Social Media Accounts or Handles, Corporate Names, or the Like. Unless permitted hereunder or with SAI’s prior written consent, You agree not to use or file for registration of any Internet domain name, social media account names or handles, corporate names, sponsored link/ad keyword or any other keyword search term, or the like (collectively, "Brand Assets") that, in SAI’s sole opinion, is the same as, or likely to cause confusion with, (i) any or all of SAI’s Trade Names, including, without limitation, the Marks that SAI licenses to You under this Agreement, or (ii) any or all of SAI’s Brand Assets, including, without limitation, the domain names of the Scrum Alliance Sites.

If You register or have already registered or otherwise obtained Brand Assets that are in violation of this Section, SAI may require You to transfer such Brand Assets to SAI as a condition of entering into this Agreement. SAI will pay only the reasonable administrative costs of any such transfers, which will not include any payments to You for goodwill allegedly associated with such Brand Assets. SAI reserves the right to withhold or suspend the right and licenses granted under this Agreement should You refuse to cooperate with SAI in identifying and, if necessary, resolving the use of such Brand Assets.
f. No Challenging Marks. You will not, (i) challenge the validity or ownership of the Marks of SAI or claim adversely or assist in any claim adverse to SAI concerning any right, title or interest in the Marks, (ii) do or permit any act which may directly or indirectly impair or prejudice SAI’s title to the Marks or be detrimental to the reputation and goodwill of SAI, including any act which might assist or give rise to any application to remove or de-register any of the Marks or other marks of SAI, or (iii) register or use or attempt to register or to use any trademark, design, company name, trade name, URL or domain name which may be similar to or comprise or include any of the Marks or other marks of SAI.
g. Reporting Infringement. Should You become aware of any infringing or potentially infringing uses of the Marks by any third party, or any possible violations of the terms of Your Agreement, including the obligations set forth in Your Agreement regarding the Marks, by You or Your Affiliates or any third party, whether or not they have a license or credential from SAI, You agree to promptly notify SAI of such infringement or potential infringement.
h. Protection of Rights. You agree to assist SAI, to the extent reasonably necessary and at SAI’s expense, to protect or to obtain protection for any of SAI’s rights to the Marks. In addition, if SAI requests that You discontinue using the Marks and/or substitute a new or different Mark, You shall immediately comply with such request.
i. Anti-Defamation, Disparagement, or Dilution. You shall not make any statement, directly, by implication or by concerted action, to a third party regarding SAI including, without limitation, its officers, directors, employees, representatives, certified instructors, courses, procedures, certifications credentials, or any of its products or services that is defamatory or disparaging. Further, You will not make any statement, directly, by implication or by concerted action, to a third party that dilutes, tarnishes or impairs the value of the Marks and/or their associated goodwill.
j. Content on Scrum Alliance Sites. Unless otherwise agreed in writing between SAI and You, in the event that You submit any content for SAI to post publicly on its website, including articles or other educational content, profile images, logos, comments, or otherwise, You: (i) represent and warrant that You have all rights necessary to submit such content and permit SAI’s intended usage of such content, (ii) grant to SAI a worldwide, irrevocable, perpetual, unlimited license to display, copy, reproduce, modify, edit and create derivative works of such content, and (iii) shall comply with all applicable SAI community guidelines and policies.
