Acceptance and scope
These Terms of Service govern your access to OpenLogo at openlogo.dev, including the public site, dashboard, Logo, Search and Brand APIs, documentation, catalog, and related services. By accessing or using the service, you agree to these terms.
If you use OpenLogo for a company or other organization, you confirm that you have authority to accept these terms for that organization. “You” then includes both you and that organization. If you do not agree, do not use the service.
What OpenLogo provides
OpenLogo provides free developer infrastructure for retrieving logos, searching for companies, and generating structured brand profiles. For requested domains, automated systems may retrieve publicly accessible website HTML, CSS, metadata, and a small number of brand assets, then index useful brand information for API delivery.
Brand records are part of a global catalog. A record is not owned by the workspace that first requested indexing. OpenLogo is community-funded, and current usage allowances are soft operational guidelines—not contractual entitlements or guaranteed capacity.
Accounts and API keys
Dashboard access uses Google sign-in. You must provide accurate account information, keep your account and devices secure, and notify us promptly if you suspect unauthorized access.
You are responsible for activity in your workspaces and under your API keys. Keep secret keys confidential, restrict allowed origins and scopes where available, rotate exposed credentials, and never publish secret keys in source code, client-side apps, public repositories, or other public locations.
Third-party trademarks and brand assets
Company names, logos, wordmarks, icons, trade dress, and other brand materials available through OpenLogo belong to their respective owners. OpenLogo indexes and retrieves these materials for identification, informational, interoperability, and developer-use purposes.
Display or availability through OpenLogo does not mean affiliation, sponsorship, endorsement, partnership, approval, or ownership. OpenLogo does not grant you a trademark, copyright, or other brand license in third-party materials.
You must decide whether your downstream use is lawful, follow the owner’s brand guidelines, preserve required notices, and obtain permission where required. You may not use the service or its output to:
- mislead consumers, imply an endorsement, or create confusion about source, sponsorship, or affiliation;
- impersonate another person or business, counterfeit goods or services, or pass off your offering as someone else’s;
- defame, infringe intellectual-property or privacy rights, or otherwise violate applicable law.
A logo is not proof that a website, account, message, product, or person is authentic or authorized.
Brand-owner corrections and removal
A brand owner or authorized representative may email hi@openlogo.dev with the affected domain or asset, the correction or removal requested, and enough information for us to reasonably verify authority.
We will acknowledge the request promptly. Once reasonably verified, we will remove or disable the identified logo or brand record from active OpenLogo catalog access and API delivery within 24 hours, or offer a correction where appropriate.
Browser, CDN, downstream-user, archival, backup, security, fraud-prevention, or legally required copies may persist for a limited period. These limited copies are not a reason to keep serving the active record. Personal-data requests follow the separate process described in our Privacy Policy.
Acceptable use
Use OpenLogo only in compliance with applicable laws and third-party rights. You may not:
- attack, probe, disrupt, overload, or introduce malware into the service or another system;
- bypass authentication, rate limits, origin restrictions, security controls, or other technical protections;
- scrape OpenLogo outside its documented APIs, reverse engineer it to avoid protections, or make excessive automated requests outside published limits;
- resell the raw service or catalog as a competing logo, search, or brand database; or
- use OpenLogo to facilitate spam, fraud, surveillance, unlawful profiling, or other harmful conduct.
Limited service permission
Subject to these terms, OpenLogo gives you a limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable permission to access and use the service as documented. This permission does not transfer ownership of OpenLogo technology or create any right in third-party names, logos, or other brand materials.
Free service and optional sponsorship
Core API access is free under the current model. OpenLogo has no connected payment processor or checkout; current sponsor and donation actions open an email conversation.
Contributions are voluntary. They do not buy access, features, priority, preferential treatment, endorsement, higher limits, or special allowances. If a sponsor asks to be acknowledged publicly, we will identify the acknowledgement as sponsorship. Sponsor status is not OpenLogo’s endorsement of the sponsor—or the sponsor’s endorsement of OpenLogo.
We may evolve the service model or soft allowances with reasonable notice. We will not impose retroactive charges for prior free use.
Submissions and feedback
If you submit content, brand information, removal documentation, or a requested public sponsor listing, you confirm that you have the necessary rights to provide it. You give OpenLogo a limited permission to host, process, reproduce, and display that material only as needed to operate the service or provide the requested acknowledgement.
You may send suggestions or feedback. OpenLogo may use that feedback to improve the service without payment or other obligation, but does not acquire ownership of your unrelated materials.
Privacy
Our Privacy Policy explains what data OpenLogo collects, why it is used, how it is shared and retained, and how to make a privacy request.
Third-party sites and services
OpenLogo may retrieve information from public websites and relies on Cloudflare for infrastructure and Google for sign-in. Those parties operate independently under their own terms and policies. Links or access to a third-party service do not mean OpenLogo controls or endorses it.
Availability, changes, suspension, and termination
OpenLogo has no service-level agreement. We may add, change, rate limit, pause, or discontinue features, endpoints, catalog records, or the service as operational needs change.
We may suspend or revoke access when we reasonably believe use creates abuse, legal, security, or operational risk, or violates these terms. You may stop using OpenLogo at any time and may request account deletion by emailing hi@openlogo.dev.
Disclaimers
To the extent permitted by law, OpenLogo and all third-party content are provided “as is” and “as available.” We disclaim express, implied, and statutory warranties, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, completeness, non-infringement, availability, and correctness.
Public websites and brand assets change. Automated extraction may be incomplete, outdated, incorrectly attributed, or unavailable. You must review output for your use case and should never rely on a logo or profile as proof of identity, ownership, authorization, or endorsement.
Limitation of liability
To the extent permitted by law, OpenLogo will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for lost profits, revenue, data, goodwill, or business opportunities arising from or related to the service.
To the extent permitted by law, OpenLogo’s total aggregate liability for all claims relating to the service will not exceed the greater of the amount you paid directly to OpenLogo in the 12 months before the event giving rise to the claim or USD $100. These limits do not apply where liability cannot lawfully be excluded or limited.
Indemnity for organizational use
If you use OpenLogo for organizational or commercial purposes, you agree—subject to applicable law—to defend and indemnify OpenLogo against third-party claims, damages, and reasonable costs arising from your misuse of the service, breach of these terms, or violation of another party’s rights.
Changes, general terms, and contact
We may update these terms as OpenLogo changes. We will post the new date and provide reasonable notice of material changes when appropriate. Continued use after updated terms take effect means you accept them.
If one provision is unenforceable, the remaining provisions stay in effect. A failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver. These terms, together with the Privacy Policy and any service-specific terms presented to you, are the entire agreement about OpenLogo and supersede earlier discussions about the service.
Questions, concerns, and notices can be sent to OpenLogo at hi@openlogo.dev.
