Trademark, Username, and Workspace Naming Policy

Last updated: May 7, 2026

This Policy explains how Clevertrek handles usernames, Workspace slugs, public URLs, trademark protection, and the prevention of name squatting and abuse. It is incorporated by reference into the Terms of Service.

Clevertrek is a service operated by Fernando Beneitez Vela-Hidalgo (sole proprietor under Spanish law, NIF 75794423Q, Avenida del Hotel, 1, 15º, 08860 Castelldefels, Barcelona, Spain).

1. Purpose and Scope

Clevertrek allows users to claim usernames, Workspace slugs, and other public identifiers that appear in URLs and in the Service's interface. These identifiers are valuable: they affect findability, perceived legitimacy, and the ability of organizations to be associated with their brand.

This Policy:

  • protects trademark holders against confusing or infringing identifiers;
  • protects users against speculative squatting and bad-faith claims;
  • preserves the right of Clevertrek to manage the namespace of the Service in the long-term interest of all users.

It applies to:

  • usernames (@user);
  • Workspace slugs (/workspace);
  • Group identifiers;
  • public URLs and any other identifier visible to third parties.

2. Trademark Protection — General Principle

Clevertrek respects trademarks. You must not use, claim, or register any identifier on the Service that:

  • is identical or confusingly similar to a third-party registered trademark in which you have no rights;
  • is likely to deceive other users into believing the identifier is operated by, affiliated with, or endorsed by the trademark holder;
  • otherwise infringes the trademark holder's rights under Spanish, EU, or applicable national law.

Fair, descriptive, or nominative use (e.g., a fan account that clearly identifies itself as such, or a clearly labelled review or commentary Workspace) may be permitted at Clevertrek's discretion, on a case-by-case basis.

3. Reserved Names

Clevertrek reserves the right to block, withhold, or reserve certain identifiers, including:

(a) Names of Clevertrek itself, its products, employees, partners, and any future product or feature names;

(b) Names of governments, public institutions, regulators, intergovernmental organizations, and recognized international bodies;

(c) Names of well-known generic categories of high commercial value (single common words, short premium slugs);

(d) Names that may mislead users about the nature, origin, or affiliation of the Workspace;

(e) Names protected by law (for example, geographical indications, official emblems, or names of historical importance).

Reserved names may be released selectively for verified holders or for legitimate uses, at Clevertrek's discretion.

4. Trademark Holder Rights and Reclamation Procedure

If you are a trademark holder (or an authorized agent of one) and you believe that a Clevertrek identifier infringes your trademark rights, you may submit a written Trademark Reclamation Request to trademark@clevertrek.com containing:

  1. Your details: full legal name of the trademark holder, contact details, and (if you are an agent) proof of authorization.
  2. Trademark details: the registered trademark, registration number, jurisdiction, classes covered, and a copy of the registration certificate or a link to the official record.
  3. The disputed identifier: the Clevertrek username, Workspace slug, or URL you are challenging.
  4. The alleged infringement: a clear description of how the identifier infringes your rights, including any evidence of consumer confusion, bad faith, or commercial harm.
  5. A statement under penalty of perjury that the information is accurate, that you are the trademark holder or authorized agent, and that you have a good-faith belief that the disputed use is not authorized by you, your agent, or the law.
  6. A signature (electronic or handwritten) of the rights holder or authorized agent.

Clevertrek will review valid requests in good faith and may, at its reasonable discretion:

  • contact the current holder of the identifier to explain the claim and seek voluntary release;
  • request additional information from either party;
  • after a cure period of fourteen (14) days, reassign, modify, or release the identifier, where the trademark claim is sufficiently established and not outweighed by a legitimate competing interest of the current holder.

In urgent cases involving clear infringement, fraud, phishing, or impersonation, Clevertrek may act immediately, including by suspending the Account.

5. Username Squatting and Inactive Username Reclamation

Clevertrek opposes username squatting — the practice of registering identifiers without legitimate use, in order to hold them, sell them, or extract value from third parties.

A username may be considered squatted if all of the following apply:

  • it has been registered for at least six (6) months;
  • the Account is inactive (no login, no content, no community engagement, no Workspace activity); and
  • the holder has not responded to a Clevertrek reclamation request within thirty (30) days.

In such cases, Clevertrek may release the identifier and make it available to other users, with reasonable notice to the current holder.

The fact that an Account is inactive does not automatically forfeit usernames in the absence of a competing legitimate claim, except as provided in Section 23 of the Terms of Service for general inactivity.

6. Workspace Slug Squatting and Reservation Restrictions

The same principles apply to Workspace slugs and other public Workspace identifiers. In addition:

(a) Clevertrek may limit the number of Workspace slugs that a single Account may reserve simultaneously;

(b) Clevertrek may impose anti-bot mechanisms, verification requirements, or temporary holds on identifiers that appear to be the target of speculative registration;

(c) Clevertrek may impose minimum-length, minimum-content, or minimum-publication thresholds before an identifier is considered "claimed" in a way that defeats third-party reclamation.

7. Prohibition of Sale, Transfer, or Trade of Names and Slugs

Usernames, Workspace slugs, and other identifiers issued by Clevertrek are personal and non-transferable. You may not:

(a) sell, lease, or trade your identifier to a third party;

(b) offer, list, advertise, or solicit offers to acquire identifiers, on or off the Service;

(c) transfer Account ownership in a way that primarily serves to transfer the identifier;

(d) participate in name-trading marketplaces, brokerage arrangements, or speculative pools involving Clevertrek identifiers.

Identifiers traded in violation of this Policy may be reclaimed by Clevertrek, and the Accounts involved may be suspended or terminated.

A legitimate transfer of Account ownership in connection with a corporate restructuring, succession, or similar bona-fide event may be requested by writing to legal@clevertrek.com, and will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis.

8. Clevertrek's Discretion to Limit, Modify, or Reassign Names

Clevertrek reserves the right, in its sole reasonable discretion, to:

(a) limit or restrict the registration of identifiers it considers premium, generic, sensitive, or strategically reserved;

(b) modify or reassign identifiers where:

  • a valid trademark claim is upheld;
  • a username/slug is reclaimed under Sections 5 or 6;
  • continued use creates a meaningful risk of confusion, fraud, or harm;
  • mandatory legal requirements or court orders so require;

(c) release identifiers held by terminated, banned, or long-inactive Accounts, after the notice periods set out in this Policy and the Terms of Service;

(d) introduce naming rules (allowed characters, reserved prefixes, length limits, etc.) and apply them prospectively or, where strictly necessary, retroactively after notice.

Where Clevertrek modifies or reassigns an identifier, it will, where reasonable, offer the affected user an alternative identifier and a reasonable transition period.

9. Notice and Cure Period Before Reassignment

Except in urgent cases (Section 4 last paragraph), Clevertrek will:

  • notify the affected user by email and in-product notice;
  • explain the reason for the proposed action and the legal or policy basis;
  • allow at least fourteen (14) days for the user to respond, dispute, or cure the issue;
  • consider the response in good faith before taking final action.

10. Disputes Between Users Over a Name

Where two or more users claim the same identifier (other than under Sections 4 and 5 above), Clevertrek will not act as an arbitrator beyond ensuring that no party has obtained the identifier in bad faith. Users are encouraged to resolve such disputes between themselves. Clevertrek is not obliged to transfer an identifier from one user to another based solely on a non-trademark business preference.

11. How to File a Trademark Complaint

Send your complaint to trademark@clevertrek.com following the procedure in Section 4. Incomplete complaints will be returned with a request for the missing information.

12. Bad-Faith Claims and Counter-Procedure

We take bad-faith trademark claims seriously. If a complainant knowingly submits a false or misleading reclamation request:

  • the request will be rejected;
  • the complainant may be barred from making future claims;
  • Clevertrek may share the request with the affected user where relevant and lawful;
  • in serious cases, Clevertrek reserves the right to seek legal remedies.

A user whose identifier has been challenged may submit a counter-statement by replying to the notification within the cure period, including:

  • their full identity and contact details;
  • a clear explanation of why their use is legitimate (own rights, fair use, descriptive use, prior use, etc.);
  • supporting evidence;
  • a statement that the counter-statement is made in good faith.

Clevertrek will weigh the counter-statement before taking final action.
