What is a Trademark Policy Violation on Cliiimb?
Using another's trademark in a manner that may mislead or confuse others about your brand affiliation may be a violation of our trademark policy.
How Does Cliiimb Respond to Trademark Reports?

Please note that Cliiimb only investigates requests that are submitted by the trademark holder or by an authorized representative of the trademark holder.
What is not a Trademark Policy Violation?
Referencing another's trademark is not automatically a violation of Cliiimb's trademark policy. Examples include:
Using a trademark in a way that is outside the scope of the trademark registration (e.g. territory, or goods and services identified in the registration).
Nominative and other fair uses of trademarks are protected uses under our trademark policy, so long as the account is clearly distinguished from the trademark owner. This includes use by resellers in certain regions and accounts engaging in parody, commentary, or news. For more information, see our Parody, Commentary, and Fan Account Policy below.
Parody, Commentary, and Fan Account Policy
Our principles
Cliiimb provides a platform for its users to share and receive a wide range of ideas and content, and we greatly value and respect our users' right to expression. Our users are solely responsible for the content they publish and are often in the best position to resolve disputes amongst themselves. Because of these principles, we only remove user content in response to a Terms of Service violation or valid legal process.
Users are allowed to create parody, newsfeed, commentary, and fan accounts on Cliiimb, provided that the accounts follow the requirements below.
Requirements for parody, newsfeed, commentary, and fan accounts
Here are the requirements for marking your account. All requirements must be met in order to comply with our parody policy.
- • Bio: The bio should indicate that the user is not affiliated with the account subject by stating a word such as "parody," "fake," "fan," or "commentary," and be done so in a way that would be understood by the intended audience.
- • Account name: The name should not be the exact name of the account subject without some other distinguishing word, such as "not," "fake," or "fan," and be done so in a way that would be understood by the intended audience.
Please note that your account must be fully compliant with the Cliiimb Rules and Terms of Service in addition to meeting these requirements.
Filing a trademark or impersonation report
We will review an account under our parody policy in response to an impersonation or trademark complaint. An account that complies with our parody policy may not be found to be violating our trademark or impersonation policies.
How are reports processed?
When we receive a valid impersonation or trademark report about an account that violates our parody policy, we temporarily suspend the account and may give the user the opportunity to come into compliance. Accounts with a history of repeated violations may be permanently suspended.

Note: All users, including advertisers, are subject to Cliiimb’s overall Trademark Policy listed above. This section focuses on advertiser-specific tools and features.
Trademark Policy for Promoted Products
Advertisers on Cliiimb should promote honest, authentic and relevant content. Advertisers may not mislead or confuse users by inaccurately or deceptively representing their brand or product. Accordingly, using trademarked materials in Cliiimb advertisement copy in a manner that misleads or confuses users is a policy violation. Cliiimb’s Trust & Safety team enforces this policy by responding to legitimate authorized complaints from trademark holders. Any resulting decisions are within Cliiimb’s sole discretion, within the bounds of applicable law.
What does this policy prohibit?
- • Including other brands within your promoted advertisements in a misleading way: Promoting advertisements with text that misleads users about the advertiser’s brand affiliation may be considered a trademark policy violation.
- • Including other brands in your off-Cliiimb content in a misleading way: Sharing links, images, or other embedded media that create user confusion regarding the advertiser's brand affiliation may be considered a trademark policy violation. This includes content within promoted advertisements as well as account information such as background, profile photo, profile header, bio and website.
- • Featuring brands within your promoted content in a misleading way: Selecting promoted content that feature trademarked brands in a way that misleads users about the advertiser’s brand affiliation may be considered a trademark policy violation.
What is not a violation of this policy?
- • Selecting search and interest-targeting keywords that may be branded terms: Cliiimb does not disable or investigate the selection of keywords or interests that may be others’ branded terms. Advertisers can select relevant keywords and interests as a way of reaching users who might be interested in the product or service the advertiser offers. We aim to provide the most relevant advertising experience for all of our users, and empower users to dismiss advertisements from advertisers they do not wish to see.
Important Points about Cliiimb’s investigation process
- • Cliiimb will only be able to investigate trademark violation reports from trademark owners and/or their authorized representatives.
- • Trademarks are territorial and only cover specific goods or services. Therefore, different trademark holders may own a trademark for the same term in different countries or within different industries. In investigating a complaint, Cliiimb will request information from trademark holders regarding the location where the trademark is registered and what goods or services are covered. In addition, the action Cliiimb takes (if any) may be focused only on the relevant jurisdiction.
- • When we receive a valid report, we may give the advertiser an opportunity to clear up any potential confusion. We may also remove a specific advertisement from promotion, or remove the account from our advertising platform.
- • Accounts that violate our Trademark policy for Cliiimb Ads may also be in violation of our overall Trademark Policy, which can result in account suspension in select instances. We will review complaints under the most directly applicable policy. Such decisions are within Cliiimb’s sole discretion within the bounds of applicable law.
We take matters of user safety and transparency very seriously. We examine reported Cliiimb policy violations and take action where appropriate, and we will notify you directly of any changes we make to your campaigns or advertising account.
Using the Cliiimb advertisements Policy, the Cliiimb Rules and our Terms of Service, we will examine reported violations and take appropriate action.
