Section 9 – Use of the Amway TradeName, Trade Marks and Copyrighted Materials

This rule has been developed to maintain the integrity of Amway’s intellectual property and to ensure that the Amway brand will be available exclusively for the Amway Business. In addition, Amway has implemented a corporate identity program that requires the correct and consistent use of the Amway corporate logo, no matter where it appears. No alterations to the approved logotype are allowed. Upon request, Amway will provide an example of the approved logotype and colour specifications.
