GoDaddy’s trademarks, service marks, logos, trade dress, web design, and other brand features (“Brand Characteristics”) are protected by applicable trademark, copyright and other intellectual property laws. Parties interested in obtaining permission or license to use any of GoDaddy’s Brand Characteristics or other intellectual property should send details of their request to permissions@godaddy.com.  Each request will be evaluated on a case by case basis and permission or license granted where appropriate.

Although we’d like to accommodate all the requests we receive, we need to protect the integrity of our brand, and we have to turn down many requests because the usage requested implies that GoDaddy is affiliated with or endorsing another company, website, or product.

If you are interested in promoting GoDaddy on your website, we encourage you to consider membership in our Go Daddy Affiliate Program, where we provide links and banners that you can use to spread the word about GoDaddy and to earn money for yourself.  Generally, we do not provide our corporate logos for personal use other than through our Affiliate Program, and membership in our Affiliate Program does not allow you to use our Brand Characteristics in any way other than by displaying in an unaltered state the icons, banners, and graphics provided through that program.

We get frequent requests from people who are interested in incorporating the GoDaddy Brand Characteristics into clothing designs or other merchandise. Unfortunately, we cannot grant permission for these uses. If you would like to purchase GoDaddy branded merchandise, please visit the GoDaddy Store.

We do not allow the use of our trademarks in advertising, including in Google AdWords, nor do we allow the use of our trademarks in domain names.

If you are a member of the media and are requesting usage of a GoDaddy logo, please contact pr@godaddy.com and we will address your inquiry promptly.

If you are granted permission to use the GoDaddy Brand Characteristics, please use them in accordance with the following guidelines:

What to do:

• When you are using a GoDaddy trademark, be sure to include the ® symbol the first time that you use the mark in a document, such as in the title or heading, or when first referenced in your text.
• If you are creating materials that refer to GoDaddy Brand Characteristic you should also include a footnote that identifies the material used and the owner of the material.  Example: "GoDaddy® is a registered trademark of GoDaddy Operating Company, LLC.  All rights reserved."
• If you are using a GoDaddy trademark, be sure to distinguish the trademark from the surrounding text. You may distinguish the mark by capitalizing the first letter, capitalizing or italicizing the entire mark, placing the mark in quotes, or using a different font or type style to highlight the mark.
• Always use “GoDaddy” as one word, and always spell and capitalize GoDaddy's trademarks exactly as indicated.
