UCN, UDN, and Metaventure Applicants

Approved applicants of the Upland Creator Network (UCN), Upland Developer Network (UDN), and Metaventures are granted specific guidelines in order to clearly and visually explain that their experience is on, linked to, in association with, or in partnership with Upland. Creators (including brand partners) may include the name “Upland” and use the “On Upland” badge for all digital promotions off of the Upland platform in so long as long as they abide by the usage guidelines set forth in this document. However, Upland requires prior approval to use the “On Upland” badge in any offline promotions (e.g. billboards, signs TV, print, digital advertising).  Formal requests for offline promotions must be approved by the company in writing on a per-use basis.

The name “Upland” must remain as it is originally spelled to describe the association with the company.  Prefixes, hyphenated phrases, suffixes, and multi-word titles that include “Upland “may be used as long as the full name is maintained.  While font choice in partner titles are not restricted, usage of Upland's logos, product names (excluding “UPX” and “Spark”), trademarks, product names, “Miles”, or images of Upland products in marketing, promotional, or advertising materials is prohibited.

In addition to the company name, approved applicants are permitted to use the “On Upland” badge, as long as the terms below and the complete usage guidelines around sizing, color, treatment, etc are followed closely. Besides the  company name and official badge, we do not permit the general use of the Upland logo in any creative or copy. Upland reserves the right to take appropriate action against any improper use of our marks.

In the event of featuring visual representations of the Upland platform in any game, experience, service, Metaventure, or broadcasting channel, it is required that the original game visuals are featured directly from the game itself without manipulation or edit of in-game assets, locations, names, and titles. Caution is suggested around featuring Upland community names and should be visible at the discretion of the user featured.  For games, experiences, and services that aim to represent the Upland platform outside of its original platform (Web, iOS, Android), there should be no change, edit, nor modification of any in-game assets, locations, names, nor titles. Visuals of Upland outside of its original platforms should mirror the exact likeness of the platform as is.

Upland assets, as displayed on the Upland platform (including but not limited to: structures, map assets, cars, Totems, Block Explorers, Legits, structural ornaments, terminals, and anything displayed on the map that is not from an IP-protected Upland partner) can be modified in order to support the function of the experience within the restrictions as outlined in the terms of service. This excludes brand assets such as the Upland logo and Miles.

Any IP-protected asset from a brand or partner in Upland can not be modified, and must be maintained visually in its original state as it is in Upland.

Any item that is created by a user, defined as UGC (user-generated content) or uploaded to the Upland platform, must follow the same guidelines for Upland mark usage as they are outlined here.
