This Notice explains the rules for using Wigiwork names, marks, logos, designs, illustrations, visual identity, and other brand assets.
1. Wigiwork Brand Assets
Wigiwork and its licensors retain applicable rights in Wigiwork names, marks, logos, icons, mascots, illustrations, designs, visual identity, and other brand assets.
Brand assets covered by this Notice include:
- Wigiwork™
- Wigi™
- WigiPic™
- Wigi-DNA™
- Wigi IQ Labs™
- Wigi AI™
- WigiChat™
- NDA-Safe™
- Wigi Ghost Mascot™
- Ripped-W Icon™
- Wigiwork logos and associated visual identity
This list identifies assets for purposes of these brand-use rules. It does not represent that any particular asset is registered, subject to a pending application, or protected in every jurisdiction.
Except where expressly permitted by this Notice, applicable law, or written authorization from Wigiwork, no licence or right to use any Wigiwork brand asset is granted by its display, availability, or use through the Services.
2. Permitted References
Wigiwork may be referred to by name for lawful nominative, descriptive, editorial, news, commentary, review, comparative, evidentiary, or legally required purposes.
Any reference must be accurate and must not:
- falsely imply sponsorship, endorsement, partnership, affiliation, certification, approval, or ownership;
- misrepresent Wigiwork's products, services, position, or involvement;
- create confusion about the source or operator of a product, service, publication, account, or communication; or
- disclose confidential, restricted, or unlawfully obtained information.
Where reasonably appropriate, the reference should clearly distinguish the user's product, organization, publication, or views from Wigiwork.
Permission to refer to Wigiwork by name does not grant permission to use Wigiwork logos, icons, mascots, illustrations, avatars, interface elements, or other visual brand assets beyond what applicable law permits.
3. WigiPic™ Avatars
Candidates may use an assigned WigiPic™ for the limited personal, non-commercial purposes permitted by the WigiPic™ Terms & Use.
Users must not use WigiPics or related artwork to:
- create business branding, advertising, products, or commercial services;
- impersonate another person or falsely imply Wigiwork sponsorship, endorsement, or affiliation;
- build or develop competing avatar, identity, illustration, dataset, model, or visual-brand systems;
- train, fine-tune, test, benchmark, or develop AI systems; or
- reproduce, modify, distribute, license, sell, or commercialize WigiPic artwork except where expressly permitted.
Using a WigiPic outside Wigiwork may associate it with the user's real identity and increase recognition or re-identification risk.
Detailed usage rights, ownership, photo-based generation, replacement, and privacy limitations are governed by the WigiPic™ Terms & Use.
4. Wigi-DNA™
Wigi-DNA™ is a Wigiwork mark used in connection with safeguards applied to eligible documents and images. Users must not remove, alter, obscure, misrepresent, bypass, or interfere with Wigi-DNA™ markings or safeguards except where expressly authorized by Wigiwork or permitted by applicable law.
WigiPics and avatars are not protected by Wigi-DNA™.
Detailed scope and anti-tampering rules are set out in Confidentiality & Wigi-DNA™.
5. Logos and Identity
Wigiwork logos, icons, mascots, illustrations, avatars, names, and visual brand assets must not be used without express written authorization from Wigiwork, except where permitted by applicable law.
5.1 Logos and Visual Assets
Users and third parties must not:
- copy, reproduce, modify, distort, recolor, combine, animate, adapt, or create derivatives of Wigiwork brand assets;
- use Wigiwork logos, icons, mascots, illustrations, avatars, or visual identity in advertising, marketing, company materials, products, services, applications, or commercial content;
- remove or alter trademark, copyright, or other proprietary-rights notices; or
- use Wigiwork brand assets contrary to any written brand guidelines or authorization.

Users and third parties must not register, adopt, operate, or use a confusingly similar:
- domain name or subdomain;
- social-media handle, profile, or account name;
- company, business, product, or service name;
- application name or marketplace listing;
- logo, icon, mascot, avatar, or visual identity; or
- website, product, service, platform, or application.
5.3 Impersonation and Misleading Association
Wigiwork branding must not be used to:
- impersonate Wigiwork or its representatives;
- divert or mislead users through confusion;
- misrepresent the source or operator of a product, service, account, or communication; or
- falsely imply sponsorship, endorsement, partnership, affiliation, certification, approval, or another relationship with Wigiwork.
5.4 Authorized Use
Any permission granted by Wigiwork is limited to the specific asset, purpose, format, audience, distribution method, duration, and conditions expressly authorized in writing.
Wigiwork may require an authorized use to be corrected, suspended, or discontinued where it exceeds that authorization or creates confusion, misuse, or risk to Wigiwork, its users, or its brand.
Authorized users must use only the current versions of brand assets supplied or approved by Wigiwork and must stop using them when the authorization expires, is withdrawn, or the authorized purpose ends.
6. Platform Presentation and Interface Copying
Except where permitted by applicable law or expressly authorized in writing by Wigiwork, users and third parties must not:
- mirror, frame, iframe, clone, reproduce, or imitate a Wigiwork website, application, interface, candidate card, profile layout, workflow, or visual presentation;
- create a website, application, product, service, or interface that is confusingly similar to Wigiwork;
- embed Wigiwork logos, imagery, illustrations, avatars, interface elements, or other brand assets into another product or service;
- use Wigiwork platform presentation or brand assets to build a competing product, dataset, model, avatar system, or commercial service; or
- present copied or imitated elements in a way that misrepresents their source or implies an unauthorized relationship with Wigiwork.
These restrictions do not limit the lawful-reference rights described in Section 2.
Broader restrictions concerning Wigiwork technology, systems, workflows, extraction, reverse engineering, and competing products are set out in IP & Brand Protection.
7. Third-Party Marks
Third-party names, marks, logos, badges, and other brand assets displayed through the Services remain subject to the rights, rules, and permissions of their respective owners.
Their appearance on or through Wigiwork does not by itself imply sponsorship, endorsement, partnership, affiliation, or approval between Wigiwork and the applicable third party.
Users must not use third-party brand assets through Wigiwork in a way that infringes another party's rights, misrepresents source or ownership, or falsely implies an authorized relationship.
Wigiwork is not affiliated with, sponsored by, or endorsed by LinkedIn. LinkedIn and its related marks are trademarks of LinkedIn and its affiliates.
8. Brand Enforcement
Wigiwork may take proportionate action where it reasonably believes that its brand assets, users, licensors, or platform integrity are threatened by infringement, impersonation, confusing use, unauthorized copying, false association, or another violation of this Notice.
Subject to applicable law, Wigiwork may:
- require unauthorized or misleading use to stop or be corrected;
- request removal, suspension, cancellation, or transfer of infringing domains, accounts, listings, applications, or content where legally available;
- submit trademark, copyright, hosting, marketplace, social-platform, or other appropriate complaints;
- restrict or remove content, features, accounts, access, or organizations;
- preserve relevant records and send legal notices;
- seek civil, injunctive, or other available remedies; or
- refer suspected unlawful activity to competent authorities.
Wigiwork's decision not to act immediately does not waive any right or prevent later enforcement.
Nothing in this Notice limits any right or remedy available under the Terms, another applicable agreement, or applicable law.
9. Permission Requests
Requests to use Wigiwork brand assets must identify:
- the requesting person or organization;
- the specific asset requested;
- the proposed use, context, and purpose;
- the intended audience and distribution method; and
- the proposed duration and territory of use.
Requests must be sent to legal@wigiwork.com.
Submitting a request, receiving a response, or Wigiwork's failure to object does not grant permission.
Permission is granted only through express written authorization from Wigiwork and may be limited by conditions concerning the asset, purpose, format, placement, audience, duration, or distribution.
Wigiwork may decline, condition, modify, or withdraw permission where legally permitted. Any use outside the authorized scope is unauthorized.
