At Mailchimp, we respect the intellectual property rights of others and expect our users to do the same. Our Terms prohibit users from violating someone else’s intellectual property rights, including copyright and trademark.
If you believe content that belongs to you is being used through our Service or Mailchimp Site without your permission or users of our Service or Mailchimp Site are selling counterfeit or infringing products, we want to know about it.
If you do submit a notice to us, please note that we may forward your notice, including your contact information, to the user who posted or used the content that you are complaining about. If you’re not sure whether content on one of our Mailchimp Sites or sent through our Service infringes your intellectual property rights, then you may want to speak with legal counsel in your area before notifying us.
Finally, before submitting a notice you may want to reach out to the person or organization who posted or used the content you believe infringes your rights. You may be able to resolve the issue directly with that person or organization without contacting Mailchimp.

Trademark
Trademark law protects words, designs, symbols, or phrases that an individual or company may use to identify and distinguish their goods or services from those offered by others. Examples of trademarks include word marks (“Mailchimp”), logos, brand names, and slogans.
A trademark owner may be able to prevent others from using their trademark without their permission if the particular use is likely to cause confusion among consumers about who provides, endorses, or is affiliated with a product or service. Such a use may amount to trademark infringement. If the particular use of a trademark is an unauthorized use of a registered mark to reproduce fake, imitation, or “knock-off” goods, the use may also constitute trademark counterfeiting. Knowingly trading in counterfeit goods is illegal.
Notices related to alleged trademark infringement may be submitted to us via this form. When reporting a claim of trademark infringement, please ensure your notice includes the following:
- The name, address, telephone number, and email address of the trademark owner;
- Whether or not your claim involves the sale of counterfeit goods;
- An identification of the trademark that you claim is being counterfeited or infringed, including the trademark registration number, the country/jurisdiction where the trademark is registered, an identification of the category of goods and/or services covered by your registration, and a link to the registration or copies of your certificate of registration;
- A description of the content on our Mailchimp Site or sent through our Service that you claim infringes your trademark or constitutes counterfeiting, including an explanation of how you believe the content is infringing or counterfeit;
- An identification of where the allegedly infringing or counterfeit content is located on our Mailchimp Site or was sent through our Service (a URL works best);
- A statement that: (a) you have a good faith belief that the use isn’t authorized by the trademark owner, its agent or the law; (b) the information in your notice is accurate; and (c) under penalty of perjury, you are the owner or you are authorized to act on behalf of the trademark owner; and
- An electronic or physical signature from the trademark owner or someone authorized to act on their behalf.
