OKMY.SHOPCompany / Brand policy
Brand & Logo Use
ASC marks identify the company or an authorized relationship with its ecosystem. Third-party use requires prior written approval.
01 / Trademark ownership
Our marks are protected business assets.
America's Supply Chains® and associated ASC names, logos, wordmarks, designs, and program marks are proprietary trademarks of America's Supply Chains, PBC. The America's Supply Chains® mark is federally registered with the United States Patent and Trademark Office. Other marks may be registered or otherwise protected under applicable law.
No license or right to use an ASC mark arises merely because a product is listed, a service is purchased, a membership is active, or a business communicates with ASC. Authorization must be express and in writing.
02 / Who may apply
Participation can support authorized brand use.
Partners and organizations
Businesses, institutions, and service providers operating under a current written agreement with ASC.
U.S. Agents™ participants
Active members or service recipients whose specific proposed use has been separately reviewed and approved.
Approved initiatives
Organizations authorized for a defined project, event, distribution channel, or co-marketing activity.
03 / What an approved mark communicates
An authorized relationship—not a product certification.
ASC may authorize a designated corporate mark or ecosystem participation mark to identify a verified commercial, service, membership, or partnership relationship. When factually accurate, approved wording may state that a product is listed within the ASC commerce ecosystem or distributed through an ASC-supported commerce channel.
Important: An ASC mark does not, by itself, certify or guarantee product safety, quality, performance, regulatory compliance, legal compliance, country of origin, marketability, or governmental approval.
04 / Permitted uses after approval
Products and packaging
Approved product packaging, labels, inserts, and product-detail pages. Final artwork must be submitted before printing or publication.
Business communications
Company websites, brochures, presentations, trade-show materials, and other communications within the approved scope.
Digital promotion
Approved digital advertisements, social-media posts, marketplace content, and joint marketing materials.
Relationship statements
Exact statements supplied or approved by ASC that accurately describe listing, distribution, membership, service, or partnership status.
05 / Conditions of use
Limited and revocable
Permission is limited, nonexclusive, nontransferable, non-sublicensable, and revocable. ASC may withdraw permission when use is misleading, outside scope, or harmful to the brand.
Use approved artwork
Do not redraw, crop, rotate, recolor, distort, animate, combine, or add words or symbols to an ASC mark unless the written approval expressly allows it.
Maintain clear identity
The user's own name and brand must remain prominent. The ASC mark may not imply that ASC manufactures, sells, owns, or controls the user's product or organization.
Stop when status ends
Use must cease when the applicable listing, agreement, membership, service, project, or authorization period ends, unless ASC approves an extension in writing.
06 / Prohibited claims
Do not turn a relationship mark into an unsupported certification.
Unless ASC provides separate written authorization supported by appropriate substantiation, users may not state or imply: “ASC Certified,” “ASC Approved Product,” “Certified by America's Supply Chains,” “Guaranteed by ASC,” “USPTO Approved,” “U.S. Government Approved,” “FDA Approved,” “FDA Certified,” “Made in USA,” “Compliant with All U.S. Laws,” or “Official Product of America's Supply Chains.”
U.S. Agents™ membership or service participation does not constitute governmental licensure, regulatory approval, product certification, or endorsement by the FDA or any other government agency.
07 / User responsibility
The authorized user remains responsible for every claim.
Authorization to use an ASC mark does not constitute a certification, warranty, or guarantee. Each authorized user remains solely responsible for its products, services, claims, labeling, advertising, substantiation, and legal and regulatory obligations.
ASC may require supporting documents, corrective changes, removal of materials, or evidence that discontinued packaging and advertisements are no longer being distributed.
Request authorization before using an ASC mark.
Submit the proposed mark, product or service, exact wording, artwork, placement, media, territory, and intended use period for review.
