SCOPE OF USE
GEZE hereby grants you as a GEZE sales partner or service provider a simple, non-transferable right, revocable at any time but without a time limitation, to use the content in your own advertising materials, such as print media (e.g. brochures, posters, flyers and advertisements in third-party publications) and online media (e.g. your own websites and advertisements on third-party websites) to directly market GEZE brand products in Germany. Any further use, in particular any commercial use, is prohibited. In addition, providing such content to third parties is prohibited, in particular providing the content for a fee or providing it in a manner that could result in some other advantage for the user.

In addition, using the content in a manner that violates third party trademark rights or other intellectual property rights is prohibited, as is using the content in a manner that could result in a claim due to misleading advertisements or unfair competition. Private use is likewise prohibited, unless GEZE had approved such use in writing. The user is not permitted to make changes to the content. In particular, the content may not be distorted or integrated into a context that could discredit GEZE or the persons pictured.
