Alors que quelqu'un tentais de vendre certaines pièces de monnaie des Jeux Olympiques de Vancouver sur eBay, voici ce que le comité des jeux en lien avec la Monnaie lui a envoyé comme lettre.
To Whom It May Concern: RE: Conditions of Vancouver 2010 Marks Usage for Retailers
We are pleased to welcome your retail operation into the family of retailers that will work with our Official Licensees to help make Vancouver 2010 Licensed Merchandise available across Canada. The Olympic Brand is a powerful one, and carries with it the excitement and ideals of an unparalleled celebration of sport, culture and environment around the globe. The power of the Olympic Brand also means there is greater potential for misuse and misappropriation. We are writing to you to outline the do’s and don’ts associated with the retail sale of Vancouver 2010 Official Licensed Merchandise. Please pay careful attention to the conditions outlined in this letter, as your cooperation and compliance with these requirements is a condition of your ongoing right to purchase licensed merchandise from our Official Licensees.
We also want you to know that we take any attempts to create and/or sell unlicensed or counterfeit merchandise very seriously and we will work hard to ensure that these practices are prevented and punished. Our goal is to ensure that the value of Official Licensed Merchandise remains strong, not only for us but also for our Official Licensees and their retail customers like you. By working cooperatively with us and by playing by the rules, you will be contributing much to the overall success of the 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games. We thank you in advance for your support and cooperation.
For the purposes of this letter, some important terminology is defined as follows: (i) “Designated Marks” means trademarks, symbols, emblems, slogans, designs and other indicia relating to the 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games or the Olympic Movement generally, including without limitation, the Olympic symbol of the five interlocking rings, the 2010 Olympic Winter Games emblem, the 2010 Paralympic Winter Games emblem, the Vancouver 2010 word mark, any of the words “Olympic”, “Paralympic”, “2010”, “VANOC”, and “2010 Games” and any mascot, pictogram, slogan or other protected mark associated with the 2010 Winter Games or the Olympic Movement generally, all of which are owned by VANOC or the International Olympic Committee (IOC); and (ii) “Official Licensed Merchandise” means merchandise which incorporates Designated Marks and which have been produced and distributed by authorized VANOC merchandise licensees.
Marks Usage Conditions
1. You may display and sell Official Licensed Merchandise in your retail store(s). Official Licensed Merchandise will be identified with tags that feature VANOC-branded holograms or other approved security devices. Do not purchase merchandise which you know or suspect may be counterfeit or unauthorized. Please contact VANOC at brandprotection@vancouver2010.com to report any instance of counterfeiting or any person you know or suspect may be offering counterfeit merchandise.
2. You may conduct point of sale and store-front promotions using sales kit materials provided to you by VANOC through its Official Licensees. Such materials will allow you to indicate “Official Vancouver 2010 Licensed Merchandise Available Here” or other similar words of designation. 3. You may conduct external advertising and promotion relating to the availability of Official Licensed Merchandise for sale at your retail store(s), provided that: (a) you do not do so in a way that implies or will mislead consumers into believing that the store(s) or business is in any way affiliated with or endorsed by VANOC, the IOC, the International Paralympic Committee (IPC), Team Canada, the Canadian Olympic Committee (COC) or the Canadian Paralympic Committee. Without limiting the generality of the above restriction, you must not use the statement “Official Retailer of the 2010 Games” or any similar statement that would imply an affiliation between you and VANOC, the 2010 Games, the IOC or the COC. You must not send promotional materials, whether printed or electronically communicated, advertising your establishment as a “2010 Olympic Merchandise Store” or otherwise suggesting that the store or the business has an official association with VANOC or the Games;
(b) you do not use or display any of the Designated Marks in any way except in the context of displaying photographic images of the Official Licensed Merchandise itself. For greater certainty, photographic images of Official Licensed Merchandise are the only legitimate and acceptable way to show the Designated Marks. IN NO CASE may the names and descriptions of merchandise be used separately or apart from photographs of the Official Licensed Merchandise. You MAY NOT use depictions of the Designated Marks in text or graphic form on packaging, signage, marketing materials, or in print media, advertising campaigns, promotions, emails, icons, domain names or trade names of the Retailer’s creation, separate and apart from photographs of Official Licensed Merchandise.
4. You must NOT make any commercial use whatsoever of the words “Olympic”, “Paralympic”, “2010”, “VANOC” or “Vancouver 2010” without the express written consent of VANOC, which may be withheld in VANOC’s sole discretion.
5. You must NOT associate the Official Licensed Merchandise with any other goods (whether branded or unbranded) nor use, offer or provide the Licensed Merchandise to induce the sale of other goods, such as by combination sales.
6. You must NOT promote, advertise or sell the Official Licensed Merchandise on the Internet or any other electronic interactive multimedia or on-line service or database.
7. You must NOT sell Official Licensed Merchandise to any person who you know or suspect intends to re-sell the Official Licensed Merchandise.
8. Official Licensed Merchandise must NOT represent more than 20% of your overall product offering or retail floor space. Furthermore, you will NOT establish any Olympic-themed boutique or “store within a store” on your premises. For the sake of clarity, Olympic-themed boutiques are defined as the segregation of a portion of your retail floor space for dedication exclusively to the sales of Official Licensed Merchandise and/or decorated so as to distinguish the boutique from adjoining retail spaces within your premises.
9. You must NOT use tickets to the 2010 Winter Games or Official Licensed Merchandise in conjunction with any type of promotion, including contests, raffles or give-aways.
10. VISA is an International Programme Partner and the official payment card of the Games. Accordingly, you must NOT conduct any marketing, advertising, or other promotions relating to Official Licensed Merchandise in a manner which would create any express or implied association between the Official Licensed Merchandise and any payment card other than VISA. Any Official Licensed Merchandise marketing, advertising or promotions that include reference to a manner of payment must refer only to VISA. For greater clarity, you may accept payment for Official Licensed Merchandise by way of a payment card other than VISA, provided that such card has not been identified in any way as being a payment method associated with the Official Licensed Merchandise.
We trust you understand these conditions and will have no problem complying with them. Should you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact the VANOC Official Licensee for clarification.
Thank you very much for your cooperation. We wish you much success in your retailing of the Official Licensed Merchandise.
Yours truly,
Vancouver Organizing Committee for the 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games (VANOC)
