Exhibit E
CITY POLICY FOR USE OF
CITY OF PORT CIRCHARD"S WAYFINDING LOGO
The City of Port Orchard Wayfinding Logo is a registered official mark protected by the City of Port Orchard,
Washington. The logo, including any facsimile thereof, is intended for use by authorized agents or employees of the
City of Port Orchard in conducting the official business of the City. Use of the City logo is limited to City contractors
working on City projects or agencies such as the Chamber of Commerce and the Kitsap Peninsula Visitor and

permission of the City. Duplication and use without permission is prohibited by law.
INTERNAL CITY USE: Pursuant to POMC 1.22, the Wayfinding Logo is to be used for official City business — for
example, City communications, merchandise, facilities, signage, events and services. Please consult the City Clerk's
Office if you have questions about the appropriate use of the Wayfinding Logo for official City business.
EXTERNAL USE: There are limited circumstances under which third parties may be granted permission to use the
City logos on a case -by -case basis for reproduction (for example, on websites, publications, print materials, email,
products and signage). Any use that falls outside of the policy specifications is strictly prohibited. Any assumption
of use, including past usage, is unacceptable. To protect the City's valuable property rights inherent in the
Wayfinding Logo, City staff must govern its limited use by third party entities in a professional, consistent manner.
With the exception of government agencies and public institutions, inaugural or one-time programs and events
primarily sponsored by third parties that are unfamiliar to the City or without a direct collaborative history with the
City are ineligible to use the Wayfinding Logo. These parameters help the City manage community expectations and
protect the City's public image by building and assessing new relationships with third party entities over time.
Permission to use the City logos is a privilege and requires direct, written City approval in every case.
I. Information on External Use of Wayfinding Logo

the City's Use Guidelines helps the City protect valuable trademark rights and strengthens our brand
identity. By using the logo, you are acknowledging that the City is the sole owner of the trademark and
promising that you will not interfere with the City's rights in the trademark, including challenging the City's
use, registration of, or application to register such trademark, alone or in combination with other words,
anywhere in the world, and that you will not harm, misuse, or bring into disrepute any City trademark. The
goodwill derived from using the logo exclusively inures to the benefit of and belongs to the City. Except for
the limited right to use as expressly permitted herein, no other rights of any kind are granted hereunder,
by implication or otherwise.
Need for a License. Use, reproduction, copying, or redistribution of the logo is strictly prohibited without
a written trademark annual license agreement from the City. If you do not have an existing agreement with
the City, you do not have permission to use the logo. The terms and conditions set forth in a license
agreement are for those individuals/entities/organizations who have obtained permission to use the logo
in promotional materials, or on products and packaging that are subject to a cross -promotional agreement
with the City. The terms of an express written license agreement with the City make up your rights and
obligations regarding use of the logo.
Fair Use. Limited fair use of the logo is permissible in referring to the City, for example in a magazine article,
without our permission, provided you follow standard trademark usage practice and provide proper
attribution. All other uses require written permission.
Page 1 of 4
II. Procedure for Applying for External Use of Wayfinding Logo

criteria to evaluate the merits of the third party entity's proposal and the benefit to the City of co -branding an

Strategic Plan for Children, Youth and Families;
o Impact on City core services, operations, assets, and facility resources;
o Financial viability;
o Media exposure value for key City messages;
o Economic impact (for example, alternative funding sources gained for City priority programming and
services);
o Protection of the city's best interests in the short/long term;
o Project timelines;
o Third party entity's experience, qualifications, and reputation;
o Communications strategy;
o Other relevant criteria as determined by the Mayor or his/her designee.
The Mayor or his/her designee shall review all applications for approval, modification or denial. Any applicant may

adhered to:
1. General Guidelines:

weapons;
• Partnership agreements with retail, food or pharmaceutical establishments that may sell, in part,

Page 2 of 4
employees.
2. Reproduction Guidelines:
Proper Use. The following are the City's Reproduction Guidelines for the proper use of the logo.
Any use of the logo that is inconsistent with these guidelines, or other unauthorized uses of the
logo that are confusingly similar to the City's trademark, may violate the City's trademark rights.
Any use of the logo other than under a license agreement with the City may violate the City's rights.
The City's logo or any other stylization of its trademark should never be used without the express
written permission of the City.
• Do Not Create Composite Marks. The logo must not appear to be part of any other mark (whether
words or graphics). Do not incorporate the logo into your own product names, service names,
trademarks, logos, or company names, and do not adopt marks or logos that are confusingly similar
to the City Mark.
Graphic Elements. The logo should be used only as provided by the City following obtaining
permission from the City to do so. The logo may only appear with the words, logotype, graphic
elements, and spacing approved for use, and may not be modified. See Guidelines Standards
attached as Exhibit A.
Variations of Logo. You may not use a variation of the City's logo. Variations of the logo may
confuse others as to the source of goods or services bearing the altered mark, and such uses may
infringe the City's trademark rights and be actionable under relevant law. Do not join the logo to
other words, symbols or numbers, either as one word or with a hyphen. Do not use a phonetic
equivalent, foreign language equivalent, takeoff, or abbreviation of the logo for any purpose. Do
