# Fair use guidelines

> Logo.dev fair use policy and acceptable use guidelines. Learn what's allowed, best practices, and how to stay compliant while building with our logo API.

All plans must follow these fair use guidelines. We'll reach out before taking any action.

## Examples of fair use

✅ Displaying logos in your application\
✅ Enriching customer data with logos\
✅ Building directories with company logos\
✅ Adding logos to dashboards and reports\
✅ Using logos in presentations\
✅ Email signatures with company logos

## Never fair use

❌ Creating a competing logo API\
❌ Bulk scraping logos for redistribution\
❌ Building a logo search as your primary product\
❌ Reselling Logo.dev data without transformation\
❌ Claiming ownership of accessed logos

## Usage guidelines

The best way to stay compliant is to use Logo.dev to enhance an existing product that provides value beyond just logos.

### Good examples

* **CRM systems**: Display company logos next to customer records
* **Email tools**: Auto-add recipient company logos to signatures
* **Analytics platforms**: Show logos in performance dashboards

### Bad examples

* A website that only searches and displays logos
* An API that proxies Logo.dev requests
* A logo download tool with no other functionality

## Technical limits

* **No scraping**: Don't automate bulk logo downloads
* **User-driven requests**: API calls should be triggered by user actions
* **Reasonable caching**: Follow our [caching guidelines](/docs/platform/caching)
* **Respect rate limits**: Even with caching enabled

## Attribution and licensing

* Logos remain property of their trademark owners
* Use logos to identify brands, not imply endorsement
* Commercial use on free plans must include [attribution](/docs/platform/attribution); personal projects are exempt
* Don't register trademarks on accessed logos
