However, Intuit does not object to the statements in Section B above being used in appropriate context, which make clear the true nature of your relationship to Intuit. You can also make truthful statements about the nature of your services, such as:

"Passionate in QuickBooks® Self-Employed Services"; or

"Supporting QuickBooks® Self-Employed users since..."; or 

"Consulting on QuickBooks® Self-Employed Services"

Ad and website titles should lead with your own business name or brand, or with an industry descriptor and shouldn’t lead with Intuit brands. 

For example:

Correct: XYZ Company - Support for QuickBooks

Incorrect: “Quickbooks,” “QB,” or “Intuit” as the primary element

Visible URLs shouldn’t contain “QuickBooks, “QB,” “Intuit,” or any other Intuit brand or brand element before the root domain or within the root domain, or any terms that appears before the “.com”

For example:

Incorrect: “quickbooks.XYZbusinessname.com” or “quickbooksXYZbusiness.com”

You need to negative match for the following keywords: “QuickBooks,” “QuickBooks Online,” “QB,” and “QBO” and should only bid on keywords with a value-add statement, e.g., “QuickBooks Set-Up.”

All other uses of the QuickBooks or other Intuit marks on direct business source identifiers are strictly prohibited.

Additionally, by participating in the Program, you agree that the Approved Materials will not contain any content that could be deemed by Intuit, in its sole judgement, to be obscene, violent or otherwise in poor taste or unlawful, or for the purpose of encouraging unlawful activities, or otherwise misuse or bring into dispute or disrepute the QuickBooks trademark, any other Intuit- owned marks or logos, or Intuit's products or services. Intuit reserves the right to object to unfair uses or misuses of its trademarks/logos and to hold you in breach of the Agreement for any such unfair uses or misuses in Intuit's sole discretion.

D. Pay Per Click / Search Engine Advertising Restrictions

In order to avoid potential confusion among consumers and to prevent search engine ads from being removed by our trademark compliance monitoring systems, Members must adhere to the following restrictions. Member understands and agrees that Intuit retains the right to remove any ads that, in Intuit's sole discretion, do not comply with these restrictions. All sponsored ad titles must lead with Members’ own marks or names, or with industry descriptors, and cannot lead with Intuit brands. For example, all sponsored ad titles must be structured as "Company Name - XYZ for QuickBooks" instead of "QuickBooks XYZ". This will help avoid potential confusion as to the source, branding, or sponsorship of Member's offerings. 

URLs should not confuse consumers into believing that the URL leads somewhere other than Member’s own website(s). Any URL where an Intuit Mark is incorporated into the front portions of the URL, or into the root domain itself, would violate these restrictions. For example,

Correct / Proper Use

Incorrect Use

Company Name - Training for QuickBooks

Member/Company Name training for QuickBooks

www.MemberName.com/TrainingforQuickBooks

www.QuickBooksTraining.com

Members may only mention Intuit Marks in sponsored ads that directly advertise Member’s own services that comply with this Program. Members may only use Intuit Marks as search keywords to trigger sponsored ads that directly advertise Member’s services. Members may not use standalone Intuit Marks to trigger sponsored ads. When purchasing search engine ads, Members must ensure that they carefully designate the appropriate countries/regions for the ad. Intuit Marks may only be used in the very end segment of any display URL of a search engine ad. For example, Member may only use an Intuit mark in URLs as follows: www.ParticipantName.com/appnameforquickbooks. Search engine ads must point to Member's own Web site, and must point to a page containing information about Member's Services. When using Intuit Marks in search engine ads, Member must avoid any false claims or statements of affiliation, endorsement or sponsorship, where no such relationship exists. For example, Member must not claim in its ad that the ad will lead people to an "Official Site" for QuickBooks, or claim that Member is an "Official Partner" or "Preferred Solution" of Intuit. Member may bid on phrases like "free QuickBooks" only when promoting free Intuit offerings or trials (like QuickBooks Simple Start Edition), but may not bid on Intuit brands on a stand-alone basis when promoting a free Intuit product. Member may use words like "discount", "deal", and "low cost" in sponsored ads that also contain Intuit Marks, but should avoid use of words that may negatively affect Intuit's brands, like "cheap", "blowout", "bargain", "fire sale", etc. Intuit reserves the right to take down sponsored ads containing descriptions or words that it believes, in its sole discretion, could damage the equity and reputation of its brands.

E. No Use of Intuit Company Trade Name, Trademark or Company Logo

No person or company except Intuit may use the Intuit company name, trademark or company logo. The only use of the company name that is permitted is the plain-text listing of the ownership legend for Intuit's trademarks, as shown in Section F below.

F. Appropriate Symbols and Ownership Legends Must Be Used

When used in accordance with these Trademark Restrictions, Intuit's QuickBooks® trademarks should appear with the "®" symbol directly next to the mark as shown.

The appropriate ownership "legend" must also be displayed at least once in any materials where the QuickBooks names are mentioned (unless space is not available, e.g., on business cards). Such legend should generally read as follows:

"QuickBooks is registered trademarks and/or registered service marks of Intuit Inc."
