Upon termination of the license, you agree to promptly remove any Intercom Marks from any websites or applications, or other material within a reasonable time.

3. Impermissible Use of the Intercom Marks
You may not use the Intercom Marks except as described in this Agreement, any guidelines provided by Intercom, or otherwise agreed in writing by Intercom. You may not use the Intercom Marks to disparage Intercom, or in any way that may be damaging to our brand or to our interests in the Intercom Marks.
You may not use the Intercom Marks to imply endorsement by Intercom of your products or services, or in a manner that causes customer confusion. That is, while you may identify Intercom as your Customer, you may not do so in a manner that implies any other relationship with Intercom.
You may not misrepresent your relationship with Intercom, or use the Intercom Marks in any manner that is misleading.
In addition to protecting the Intercom Marks, it is important to us that you maintain an independent brand. Even where use of Intercom Marks is permitted, you must prominently use your own marks to identify your services in a manner that makes your brand or any other descriptor of your goods/services clearly distinguishable from ours. You may not use the Intercom Marks or any confusingly similar name or trademark with your product, service, company, or domain name.
Proper use of Intercom Marks reinforces their role as brands for our products and services, and helps prevent Intercom’s loss of rights in our marks.
