Trademark and Copyright Usage Guidelines
Effective: 10/24/2023
At ²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵ, Inc. (¡°²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵ¡±), we understand the value of hard work and creativity. In fact, innovation is one of our core values. Integrity is another. And that¡¯s why we are committed to respecting the intellectual property rights of others, and we expect others to do the same.
As you can imagine, the ²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵ trademarks (¡°²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵ Trademark(s)¡±) are some of our most valuable company assets, and as such, we work hard to protect and enforce our rights, when necessary. As a result, we ask that you use our trademarks properly to maintain the strength and integrity of the ²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵ brand. We created these Trademark and Copyright Usage Guidelines (¡°Guidelines¡±) to help you do just that.
Written for ²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵ customers, partners, suppliers, and vendors, as well as third-party developers, members of the media and public, and any other unaffiliated third party (¡°you,¡± ¡°your,¡± or ¡°yours¡±), these Guidelines will help you better understand how to work correctly with our trademarks and copyrights. We update our Guidelines from time to time, so be sure to check back in when you are considering working with our trademarks and copyrights.
What¡¯s included?
Trademarks. Our trademarks include all registered and unregistered trademarks and service marks (including words, logos, slogans, or a combination thereof) owned by ²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵ or its subsidiaries. A representative list of our current trademarks can be found on our ²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵ Trademark List.
Copyrights. ²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵ¡¯s copyrighted works (¡°²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵ Copyrighted Works¡±) include all of our creative works, including without limitation, proprietary source code, software, and user interface; workday.com website, related pages and content therein, whitepapers, images, screenshots, photographs, data sheets, videos, reports, icons, graphics, articles, and other marketing, educational, promotional, reference, and training materials and collateral.?
Again, we know the do¡¯s and don¡¯ts can be confusing, so we¡¯ve created these Guidelines to assist you in recognizing the proper and improper uses of our trademarks and copyrighted material. Please note that these Guidelines do not grant you a license to use any ²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵ Trademarks or ²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵ Copyrighted Works outside of any separate written agreement that may exist between you and ²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵ, and you may not reproduce, copy, distribute, display or perform, edit, create derivative works, or post ²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵ Copyrighted Works on any website without prior written authorization from ²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵ.

General guidelines.
Check out some of the most common scenarios you¡¯ll encounter when working with ²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵ Trademarks and copyrighted works.
When you are referring to ²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵ products or services, you may use the ²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵ Trademarks nominally and in plain text. It¡¯s important to note that this does not include the use or display of our logos, which¡ªas you¡¯ve seen above¡ªmust be expressly authorized by ²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵ. And, yes, in writing.
If you have a product or service that is compatible with ²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵ, you are welcome to use the ²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵ brand. Simply,? display a referential phrase such as ¡°for use with ²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵ? Human Capital Management¡± or ¡°compatible with ²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵ? Financial Management.¡± And be sure to include the proper trademark and/or copyright symbols.
To avoid any unnecessary confusion, you may not use, register, or incorporate the ²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵ Trademarks in any part of your company, product, or service name. Likewise, you may not register a domain name or create any social media account, username, page, group, or handle that incorporates any ²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵ Trademark in a way that is likely to confuse the public as to whether a website, page, or account is affiliated with or sponsored by ²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵ.
At this point, it should come as no surprise that the use of any logo owned by ²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵ is not permitted without prior and express written permission.?
Do¡¯s and don'ts.
So how do these Guidelines play out in the real world? We¡¯re glad you asked.?
Please refer to our ²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵ Trademark List, which shows the proper trademark symbol (either ? or ?) to be used for attribution in the first and most prominent use of the mark.
When referring to our products, please follow the use of a ²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵ Trademark with a generic descriptor.
?
Correct:? ²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵ? Financial Management software supports all the accounting and finance functionality that global businesses require.
?
Incorrect:? Use ²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵ to help you organize, staff, and pay your workforce.
You may only list or market yourself and your resources as a ²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵ ¡°certified¡± professional if (i) you are a current employee of ²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵ or one of our Authorized Services Partners, and (ii) you are currently certified by ²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵ for the particular training or skill. Likewise, if your product or service is compatible with a ²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵ product or service, but you are not an ²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵ Authorized Services Partner, you must add a clear disclaimer to your website or other publication indicating that you are not affiliated with, sponsored, or endorsed by ²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵ.
When using any work or materials that include ²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵ Trademarks, you should include the following statement:
WORKDAY? and the ²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵ Logos, [insert other ²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵ Trademarks used, if any] are trademarks of ²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵ, Inc., registered in the United States and elsewhere.
Please do not dilute our trademarks by shortening, abbreviating, or otherwise altering our trademarks and logos.
?
Correct: ?²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵ? Financial Management
