## **What you may not do**

We firmly believe in the open-source ethos of Web3 but protecting the Nucleon brand is extremely important for our users' security, so that users know what a genuine product/endorsement is and what isn't. 

Here are a few examples of forbidden uses of our Brand Assets: 

* Don't use our Brand Assets in your products' name, logo, NFTs, etc.  
  * For example, making an app called " Nucleon CAR" or "NUT BIKE" are not allowed. 
  * Don't use the Nucleon logo in whole or in part as part of your products' logos, marketing material, website, or other. 
  * Logos with a strong resemblance to the Nucleon Icon are also forbidden. 
* Don't use our Brand Assets to create digital or physical products for sale, including but not limited to 
  * Merchandise ("Swag") 
  * NFTs 
  * Other products 
* Don't create derivative names that imply official endorsement 
* For example, don't make a social media group called " Nucleon Spain" - this sounds official. " Nucleon Fans of Spain" may be permitted. 
* Don't change or adapt our Brand Assets in any way 
  * Use the logos and other assets exactly as provided. Do not change the colors, reassemble, abbreviate, or change these assets in any way.
