Important Trademark Notice: RugFreePump respects intellectual property rights and prohibits misleading impersonation, false affiliation, and trademark infringement through the Platform. Creators are responsible for ensuring that their coin names, tickers, logos, images, descriptions, and associated content comply with applicable law. RugFreePump operates administrative controls to selectively suppress Creator-submitted token names, symbols, images, descriptions, website links, X links, and Telegram links in its Platform-controlled database and interfaces when warranted by applicable law or Platform policies. However, such actions do not necessarily modify or delete token metadata, blockchain records, decentralized storage content, or information maintained by independent third parties.These Trademark Guidelines (“Guidelines” or “Policy”) explain how trademarks, brand identities, logos, names, and other identifying marks may be used in connection with RugFreePump, including the website at https://rugfreepump.com, token creation, bonding curve sales, token metadata, token discovery interfaces, and related services (collectively, the “Platform”). These Guidelines also establish procedures for reporting alleged trademark infringement, responding to complaints, and addressing repeated violations. For purposes of these Guidelines, “RugFreePump,” “we,” “us,” or “our” refers to the individual operating the RugFreePump Platform and, where the context requires, the Platform itself. Use of the project name does not imply that RugFreePump is an incorporated company or other registered legal entity. “User” or “you” means any person accessing or using the Platform. “Creator” means a User who creates or launches a token sale through the Platform. These Guidelines should be read together with the RugFreePump Terms of Service, Privacy Policy, Risk Disclosure, and Copyright Policy. These Guidelines are published separately and are not part of the Platform’s three principal wallet-signed legal consent documents. Nothing in these Guidelines eliminates or restricts rights, defenses, exceptions, or remedies established by applicable trademark law.
1. Purpose and Scope
RugFreePump respects the trademark rights of individuals, businesses, organizations, and other lawful rights holders. The purpose of these Guidelines is to reduce the risk of trademark infringement, impersonation, misleading branding, and confusion regarding the identity, origin, sponsorship, affiliation, or endorsement of tokens and other content associated with the Platform. These Guidelines apply to content submitted, displayed, or made accessible through Platform-controlled services, including:- Coin names and ticker symbols.
- Coin images and logos.
- Token descriptions and associated metadata.
- Project branding and visual identities.
- Website and social-media links submitted by Creators.
- Token-sale pages and related Platform interfaces.
- Other User-submitted content associated with token creation or discovery.
2. Understanding Trademarks
A trademark is generally a word, name, symbol, design, slogan, logo, or combination of identifying elements used to distinguish the goods or services of one party from those of others. Trademark rights may arise through registration, qualifying commercial use, or other circumstances recognized under applicable law. Trademark protection varies by jurisdiction, the goods or services involved, the nature of the mark, and the relevant facts. A trademark owner may have legal rights against unauthorized uses that create a likelihood of confusion regarding the source, sponsorship, affiliation, or endorsement of goods or services. However, not every reference to another party’s trademark constitutes infringement. Lawful uses may include certain descriptive references, identification of genuine products or services, commentary, criticism, parody, comparative references, and other uses permitted under applicable law. The existence of a registered trademark does not automatically prohibit every use of the same word, name, or symbol in every context.3. Creator Responsibility
Creators are responsible for ensuring that all content they submit through RugFreePump complies with applicable trademark laws and other intellectual property requirements. Before creating a coin, Creators should verify that they have a lawful basis for using the proposed:- Coin name.
- Ticker symbol.
- Logo or image.
- Brand name or visual identity.
- Project description.
- Website and social-media links.
- Other identifying or promotional content.
4. Prohibited Trademark and Impersonation Practices
Users must not engage in trademark infringement, misleading impersonation, or deceptive representations of affiliation through the Platform. Prohibited conduct may include:- Using another party’s trademark in a manner likely to cause unlawful confusion about the source or sponsorship of a token.
- Creating a token that falsely claims to be officially issued by an existing business, organization, cryptocurrency project, exchange, or other rights holder.
- Using another party’s logo or branding to misleadingly suggest that a token is authorized or endorsed by that party.
- Impersonating a company, project, organization, or individual through misleading token branding.
- Falsely claiming an official partnership, sponsorship, endorsement, or affiliation.
- Using confusingly similar branding in circumstances that infringe applicable trademark rights.
- Submitting misleading website or social-media links to reinforce a false claim of affiliation.
- Misrepresenting the identity of a trademark owner or an authorized representative.
- Using the Platform to promote fraudulent activity involving unauthorized or misleading brand identities.
5. Permitted References, Commentary, Parody, and Fan Content
RugFreePump recognizes that some references to third-party trademarks may be lawful without express permission from the trademark owner. Depending on applicable law and the circumstances, potentially lawful uses may include:- Referring to a trademark to identify its owner or associated products or services.
- Expressing opinions about a business, brand, product, or service.
- Commentary, criticism, or discussion involving a trademark.
- Parody or satire.
- Fan-created content that does not unlawfully misrepresent its origin or affiliation.
- Other descriptive, nominative, or legally permitted uses.
- “Unofficial Fan Project”
- “Independent Commentary”
- “Parody”
- “Not Affiliated With [Brand]”
6. No Implied Endorsement or Affiliation
The creation or availability of a token through RugFreePump does not establish that the token is officially associated with any person, business, organization, or trademark owner. RugFreePump does not independently endorse every token or Creator using the Platform. Similarly, a token that references an existing brand, business, cryptocurrency project, public figure, or organization is not necessarily authorized or endorsed by the referenced party. Creators must not falsely represent that:- A trademark owner created or approved their token.
- A company or organization sponsors their project.
- An existing cryptocurrency project officially supports their token.
- A public figure endorses or participates in their project.
- RugFreePump has verified or approved their intellectual property rights.
- A token has an official relationship with a third party when no such relationship exists.
7. RugFreePump Names, Logos, and Branding
The name RugFreePump, its associated logos, website branding, visual identities, and other original brand materials may be protected by applicable intellectual property laws to the extent such rights exist. These Guidelines do not represent that any particular RugFreePump name, logo, or other mark has been registered as a trademark. Users may refer to RugFreePump accurately for legitimate informational, descriptive, or other legally permitted purposes. However, Users must not:- Impersonate RugFreePump or its operator.
- Create misleading websites, accounts, or materials claiming to be official RugFreePump services.
- Falsely claim to represent or act on behalf of RugFreePump.
- Use RugFreePump branding to suggest an unauthorized partnership, sponsorship, or endorsement.
- Present a token as officially issued, guaranteed, or endorsed by RugFreePump when that representation is false.
- Use confusingly similar branding in a manner that violates applicable law.

- Why the use may create confusion.
- Whether the content falsely suggests affiliation or endorsement.
- Whether the Creator appears to be impersonating the trademark owner.
- Any relevant differences or similarities between the marks.
- Any other circumstances supporting the complaint.
8.5 Accuracy and Authority

Do not submit wallet private keys, recovery phrases, passwords, or unrelated sensitive information. RugFreePump may request clarification or additional information where reasonably necessary.9. Review of Trademark Complaints
Upon receiving a trademark complaint, RugFreePump may review the information provided and evaluate whether action is appropriate. The review may include:- Identifying the relevant token or content.
- Determining whether the disputed content appears through Platform-controlled interfaces.
- Reviewing evidence of trademark ownership or authorization.
- Evaluating the alleged likelihood of confusion or misleading affiliation.
- Considering whether the disputed use may be lawful commentary, parody, criticism, or another permitted use.
- Reviewing the content against these Guidelines, the Terms of Service, and other applicable policies.
- Requesting additional information from the complainant.
- Contacting the affected Creator where reasonably possible and appropriate.
- Determining which moderation actions are technically available.
10. Removal or Restriction of Trademark-Infringing Content
RugFreePump reserves the right, subject to applicable law, to remove, restrict, or disable access to content through Platform-controlled systems when it reasonably determines that the content:- Infringes applicable trademark rights.
- Impersonates another party.
- Creates misleading impressions of authorization, sponsorship, or affiliation.
- Violates applicable law.
- Breaches the Terms of Service or other enforceable Platform policies.
10.1 Available Seven-Field Metadata Moderation Controls
RugFreePump operates administrative controls that can independently suppress any combination of the following seven Creator-submitted token metadata fields in its Platform-controlled database:name— token name.symbol— token ticker or symbol.image_url— token image reference.description— token description.website— project website link.twitter— X (formerly Twitter) account link.telegram— Telegram link.
NULL in the Platform database. The Platform displays Not Available for removed token names or symbols, a neutral placeholder icon for removed token images, and hides removed descriptions, website links, X links, and Telegram links. Suppressed website, X, and Telegram links are hidden from Platform-controlled interfaces.
These controls may be used to address substantiated trademark concerns, impersonation, false affiliation, fraudulent branding, phishing links, or other violations of applicable law or enforceable Platform policies. Their existence does not mean that every complaint will result in suppression.
10.2 Scope and Limitations of Platform-Controlled Measures
Selective metadata suppression changes the information presented through RugFreePump-controlled database-backed interfaces. It does not, by itself, delete the token project, disable its on-chain functions, block wallets, prohibit independent trading, or prevent the token from appearing in Platform listings or sale pages with neutral fallback content. RugFreePump does not represent that it operates a general token-delisting, token-blacklisting, project-deletion, or trading-blocking system. Any other moderation or legally required response must be assessed separately according to applicable law and the systems actually under RugFreePump’s control.10.3 No Guaranteed Removal of Entire Projects
A trademark complaint does not guarantee removal of an entire token project from Platform listings, search results, sale pages, or other interfaces, or prevent further participation in an existing sale. RugFreePump can selectively suppress the seven identified metadata fields, but such suppression does not amount to deletion of the token or all associated records. Users should identify tokens by their mint addresses and relevant on-chain records rather than relying solely on names, symbols, images, or links, which may be suppressed or misleading.10.4 On-Chain Rights and Transactions
A content-moderation decision does not, by itself, cancel a token sale, invalidate token ownership, reverse a purchase, terminate an on-chain token-claim entitlement, or create a refund right. Existing on-chain rights and obligations remain subject to the applicable program logic, transaction conditions, and law. RugFreePump will not represent a content-removal action as an on-chain cancellation unless the relevant on-chain action has actually occurred.11. Creator Notifications and Responses
Where reasonably possible and appropriate, RugFreePump may notify an affected Creator when content is restricted following a trademark complaint. Where notification is required by applicable law, RugFreePump will comply with the relevant requirements. Because RugFreePump uses wallet-based authentication, the Platform may not possess an email address or other direct communication channel for every Creator. Accordingly, individual notification may not always be possible.11.1 Responding to a Trademark Complaint
A Creator who believes that a complaint is mistaken, unsupported, or otherwise unjustified may submit a response to: Email: legal@rugfreepump.com The response should include:- The Creator’s name and available contact information.
- The relevant token mint address or sale-page URL.
- A description of the disputed content.
- An explanation of why the Creator believes the use is lawful.
- Evidence of trademark ownership, licensing, or authorization, if applicable.
- Information supporting a claim of lawful commentary, criticism, parody, descriptive use, or another legal basis.
- Any other relevant supporting information.
11.2 Review of Creator Responses
RugFreePump may review a Creator’s response and reconsider an earlier moderation decision where appropriate. RugFreePump may request further information from either party. A Creator response does not automatically require restoration of previously restricted content. Restoration may depend on:- Applicable law.
- The evidence provided.
- Whether the content independently violates other Platform policies.
- Whether the suppressed original field values can be reliably recovered and lawfully restored.
- Other relevant circumstances.
NULL, restoration may require recovering the original values from a reliable source and remains subject to applicable law and Platform policies.
11.3 Disputes Between Rights Holders and Creators
Trademark disputes may involve legal questions that cannot be conclusively resolved through Platform moderation. Trademark owners and Creators remain responsible for resolving their underlying legal disputes through appropriate channels. RugFreePump does not act as a court or provide binding adjudication of competing trademark claims. Nothing in these Guidelines prevents an affected party from seeking available legal remedies.12. Repeat Trademark Violations
RugFreePump may take appropriate measures against Users who repeatedly or intentionally engage in trademark infringement, impersonation, or misleading branding. Depending on the circumstances and available technical controls, measures may include:- Issuing warnings.
- Selectively suppressing infringing or misleading token names, symbols, images, descriptions, and website, X, or Telegram links in the Platform database.
- Applying the available seven-field metadata moderation controls to affected content.
- Reviewing subsequent complaints involving the same User or wallet.
- Restricting future content submissions where supported.
- Limiting access to Platform-controlled services where legally appropriate and technically available.
- Taking other legally appropriate steps consistent with the Platform’s actual capabilities and applicable obligations.
- The frequency and seriousness of reported violations.
- The reliability of the supporting evidence.
- Whether complaints were substantiated.
- Whether the User acted intentionally or deceptively.
- Whether the User received prior warnings.
- Whether the User provided a credible explanation or evidence of authorization.
- Whether the conduct involves repeated impersonation or fraud.
- Applicable legal requirements.
12.1 Wallet-Based Enforcement Limitations
RugFreePump uses wallet-based authentication. Any available access restriction may therefore be associated with particular wallets, authenticated sessions, content records, or other Platform-controlled mechanisms. RugFreePump does not guarantee that it can permanently prevent a person from using another wallet.12.2 Independent Blockchain Access
Restrictions imposed through RugFreePump do not necessarily prevent interaction with publicly accessible Solana programs through independent interfaces. RugFreePump does not claim authority to prohibit a person from accessing the Solana blockchain generally.13. Blockchain and Decentralized Storage Limitations
RugFreePump operates in an environment involving blockchain records, decentralized storage, and independent third-party infrastructure. These systems may retain or independently display content even after RugFreePump takes action through its own services.13.1 Solana Blockchain
Token creation and related transactions may produce records on the Solana blockchain. RugFreePump generally cannot arbitrarily delete or rewrite finalized blockchain records. Trademark enforcement through the Platform does not automatically permit RugFreePump to:- Delete an existing token mint.
- Change immutable token metadata.
- Reverse a completed transaction.
- Erase public blockchain history.
- Remove information displayed by independent blockchain explorers.
- Prevent independent applications from interacting with existing tokens.
13.2 Token Metadata
Creators submit coin metadata during the token-creation process. As explained in RugFreePump’s token-creation documentation, coin names, tickers, descriptions, images, and associated social links are established during creation and are not editable afterward through the ordinary Platform creation workflow. Suppressing any combination ofname, symbol, image_url, description, website, twitter, or telegram in RugFreePump’s database does not necessarily alter the original token metadata or independently accessible metadata files. The Platform’s moderation controls are distinct from the ordinary Creator token-creation workflow and do not give Creators the ability to edit original metadata after creation.
13.3 IPFS and Related Storage
Coin images and metadata may be stored using IPFS-related services or other third-party storage infrastructure. Content may be replicated, cached, or retrieved through independent gateways. RugFreePump cannot guarantee that suppressing database metadata fields or image references will delete original files or independently available copies.13.4 Raydium and Independent Trading
Tokens that complete the applicable sale and liquidity-migration process may become tradable through Raydium or other independent interfaces. Trademark-related moderation through RugFreePump does not necessarily:- Remove liquidity from an independent decentralized exchange.
- Prevent trading through third-party interfaces.
- Revoke token ownership.
- Reverse liquidity migration.
- Delete independently maintained trading information.
13.5 No Guaranteed Global Removal
RugFreePump cannot guarantee complete removal of trademark-related content from the Solana blockchain, decentralized storage networks, independent gateways, wallets, exchanges, explorers, caches, archives, or other third-party systems. These technical limitations do not eliminate any legal obligations that may apply to RugFreePump’s own services.14. Copyright and Other Intellectual Property Rights
Trademark law and copyright law protect different types of intellectual property. Trademark law generally concerns source-identifying names, logos, symbols, and other marks. Copyright law generally protects qualifying original creative works. A particular logo, image, illustration, or other item may implicate both trademark and copyright rights. Complaints involving copyrighted artwork, photographs, illustrations, or other protected creative material may be addressed under RugFreePump’s separate Copyright Policy. Complaints involving impersonation, misleading affiliation, fraudulent representations, or other unlawful conduct may also be evaluated under the Terms of Service and applicable law. RugFreePump may consider the substance of a complaint rather than solely the category selected by the reporting party. Nothing in these Guidelines limits remedies available under applicable intellectual property or consumer protection laws.15. False Reports and Abuse of the Complaint Process
Trademark complaints and responses must be submitted in good faith. Users must not knowingly submit false or misleading information concerning trademark ownership, authorization, or alleged infringement. Prohibited misuse of the complaint process may include:- Impersonating a trademark owner or authorized representative.
- Making knowingly false claims of trademark ownership.
- Submitting fabricated registration or licensing information.
- Using trademark complaints to harass another User.
- Attempting to suppress lawful competition through fraudulent complaints.
- Misrepresenting the identity or conduct of a Creator.
- Providing deliberately false information in response to a complaint.
- Repeatedly submitting abusive or materially misleading reports.
16. Privacy and Complaint Information

- Email addresses.
- Mailing addresses.
- Telephone numbers.
- Organizational details.

17. No General Trademark Verification Guarantee
RugFreePump does not guarantee that every token name, ticker, image, logo, description, or other submitted item is reviewed for trademark compliance before publication. The Platform may rely on Creator representations, technical processing, available administrative controls, and complaint-based review. The presence of a token or other content on RugFreePump does not constitute:- Confirmation of trademark ownership.
- Verification of a trademark license.
- Approval by a referenced brand or organization.
- A representation that the content does not infringe third-party rights.
- Endorsement by RugFreePump.
- A guarantee that the Creator is legally entitled to use the relevant mark.
18. International Trademark Considerations
RugFreePump may be accessed by Users located in different countries and jurisdictions. Trademark rights, registration systems, infringement standards, exceptions, and remedies vary by jurisdiction. A mark protected in one country may not have identical protection in another. RugFreePump may consider:- The jurisdiction in which trademark rights are claimed.
- The nature and extent of those rights.
- The relevant goods or services.
- The allegedly infringing use.
- Whether the use is likely to create legally relevant confusion.
- Applicable defenses or exceptions.
- Other relevant legal and factual circumstances.
19. Third-Party Services and Independent Content

Do not disclose wallet private keys, recovery phrases, passwords, or unrelated sensitive information. Users should rely on official communication channels identified through the RugFreePump website.Important Final Notice RugFreePump respects trademark rights and prohibits unlawful impersonation, misleading affiliation, and trademark infringement through the Platform. Creators remain responsible for the legality of their submitted coin names, tickers, images, descriptions, and other content. RugFreePump operates selective seven-field metadata moderation through its Platform-controlled database and interfaces, subject to applicable law and its policies. Existing administrative controls allow independent suppression of
name, symbol, image_url, description, website, twitter, and telegram by setting selected Platform database fields to NULL, displaying Not Available for suppressed token names and symbols, displaying a neutral placeholder icon for suppressed token images, and hiding suppressed descriptions and external links. Such actions do not guarantee removal of the underlying token, original metadata, blockchain records, decentralized content, or independently available copies.
Nothing in these Guidelines waives mandatory rights, defenses, remedies, or obligations established by applicable law.
