Brand & Marketing Guidelines

In this Policy, "Nexthor" refers to the Nexthor™ PPF brand operated by Digital Bug s.r.o., which is the legal entity owning the brand. "You" means any Nexthor partner — Installer Club member, Pilot, or Scout.

The Nexthor brand — including the name Nexthor™, the Nexthor logo, all associated visual identity elements, and the Nexthor PPF product range — is the intellectual property of Digital Bug s.r.o. As a Nexthor partner, you are granted a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, and revocable right to use certain Nexthor brand elements solely for the purpose of promoting Nexthor products in connection with your approved partnership activities.

Any use of Nexthor brand elements not expressly permitted by this Policy requires prior written approval from Nexthor. Unauthorized use is a breach of the Partner Agreement and may constitute trademark infringement.

Nexthor uses specific titles to distinguish between different levels of partner qualification. You must use only the titles you are actually entitled to.

General partner designations

• Nexthor Partner — any active partner in the network
• Nexthor Installer Club Member — any active Installer Club studio
• Nexthor Pilot — any active Pilot
• Nexthor Scout — any active Scout

Training-based designations

• Authorized Nexthor Installer — only for Installer Club studios that have completed the official Nexthor training program as defined in the Training & Certification Framework Policy. Studios that have not yet completed training may use the general designation "Nexthor Installer Club Member" but may not call themselves "Authorized".

Pilots are trained and authorized by Nexthor as a condition of entering the Pilot program. The title "Nexthor Pilot" itself implies this authorization.

Rank-based designations

Cashback ranks — Certified, Pro, Elite, Master, Hero, Legend — are earned through cumulative PPF purchases as defined in the Installer Club & Rewards Policy. A rank designation may be used only by the partner who currently holds it (for example, "Nexthor Elite Installer").

Training-based and rank-based designations are independent. A studio may be Authorized without holding a high rank, and vice versa. Always use designations that accurately reflect both your training status and your current rank.

Subject to the rules in this Policy, you may use Nexthor brand elements for the following purposes:

• Identifying yourself as a Nexthor partner using the correct designations from Section 2, in professional communications and on your business premises.
• Promoting Nexthor PPF products to prospects and studios in connection with your partnership activities.
• Sharing official Nexthor marketing content provided by Nexthor through your own social media channels or communications, without modification.
• Displaying Nexthor-provided rank badges, partner certification marks, and official designations that match your actual training status and current rank.

All permitted use must clearly and accurately reflect your actual role, training status, and rank within the Nexthor network. You may not use brand elements in a way that implies a relationship with Nexthor beyond what your Agreement provides.

The following uses of Nexthor brand elements are strictly prohibited without prior written approval from Nexthor:

• Modifying, distorting, recoloring, or altering the Nexthor logo or any official brand asset in any way.
• Creating derivative works, unofficial versions, or parody versions of the Nexthor brand or visual identity.
• Using the Nexthor name, logo, or brand in any context that could imply Nexthor's endorsement of a product, service, opinion, or business that Nexthor has not endorsed.
• Using Nexthor brand elements in connection with any competing PPF product, brand, or program.
• Registering any domain name, social media handle, business name, or trademark that includes the word "Nexthor" or any confusingly similar variation.
• Printing Nexthor brand elements on physical merchandise, clothing, vehicles, or business premises without prior written approval.
• Co-branding with any third party using Nexthor brand elements without prior written approval.
• Using designations you have not earned — for example, calling yourself "Authorized" without completing official training, or using a rank designation higher than you currently hold.
• Using Nexthor brand elements after termination of your Partner Agreement for any purpose other than truthfully describing your former relationship with Nexthor.
• Implying that you speak for, represent, or are employed by Nexthor.

Partners who use social media to promote Nexthor products or their Nexthor partnership must comply with the following rules.

Identification

Any post, story, reel, video, or other content that promotes Nexthor products or your Nexthor partnership must clearly identify you as an independent Nexthor partner — not as a Nexthor employee or official spokesperson. Use phrases such as "Independent Nexthor Partner", "Nexthor Pilot", or "Authorized Nexthor Installer" where accurate to your actual role.

Accuracy

All product claims, performance statements, and pricing information shared on social media must be accurate and consistent with official Nexthor communications. Do not make claims about product performance, durability, or warranty coverage that go beyond what Nexthor officially states.

Earnings claims

You must not post income claims, earnings screenshots, or lifestyle content that implies financial results achievable through the Nexthor partnership. This applies across all platforms including Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, YouTube, LinkedIn, and any other channel. See the Code of Conduct, Section 7 for full details.

Customer photos and GDPR

When sharing photos or videos of customer installations, you must have documented consent from the customer to publish the content. Vehicle license plates, visible faces, and other personally identifying details must be obscured unless explicit written consent has been obtained from the individuals concerned. You are solely responsible for compliance with GDPR and applicable data protection law in connection with content you publish.

Hashtags and tagging

You may use official Nexthor hashtags and tag Nexthor accounts in relevant content. You may not use Nexthor-branded hashtags in content that promotes competing products or unrelated businesses.

Negative content

You must not post negative, critical, or disparaging content about Nexthor, its products, management, or other partners on any public channel. Raise concerns through the internal process described in the Conflict Resolution & Enforcement Policy.

Paid advertising

Partners who run paid advertising (Meta Ads, Google Ads, TikTok Ads, or any other paid platform) using Nexthor brand elements must obtain prior written approval from Nexthor for each campaign. Contact info@nexthorppf.com before launching. Unauthorized paid advertising using Nexthor branding is a serious breach of this Policy.

Press inquiries, media interviews, podcast appearances, articles, or any public statements that could be understood as representing Nexthor's official position must be referred to Nexthor at info@nexthorppf.com before you respond.

You may share your personal experience as an independent Nexthor partner — for example, describing what your studio does and your own results in your own words — provided you make clear you are speaking in a personal capacity and not on behalf of Nexthor. You must not:

• Speak as an official Nexthor representative without prior written authorization.
• Make statements about Nexthor's strategy, finances, internal operations, product roadmap, or legal matters.
• Confirm or deny press speculation about Nexthor.

Nexthor provides partners with approved brand assets — including logo files, rank badges, product imagery, and marketing templates — for use in permitted activities. These assets are provided for partner use only and may not be shared with third parties outside the Nexthor network.

You must use only the most current version of brand assets provided by Nexthor. Using outdated logos, superseded designs, or unofficial versions is not permitted. When Nexthor updates its brand assets, you are expected to transition to the new versions within a reasonable time.

To request brand assets or to confirm current approved versions, contact info@nexthorppf.com.

Where you wish to use Nexthor brand elements in a way not explicitly permitted by this Policy — including creating custom marketing materials, running campaigns, appearing at events as a Nexthor representative, producing video content featuring Nexthor branding, or co-branding with a third party — prior written approval is required.

To request approval:

1. Email info@nexthorppf.com with a description of the intended use, including format, content, target audience, and planned distribution channels.
2. Attach or describe any draft materials where applicable.
3. Nexthor will respond within 5 business days with approval, conditional approval, or a request for changes.
4. Do not proceed until written approval is received.

Nexthor reserves the right to decline any use of its brand elements without providing detailed reasons.

Partners who create original content featuring Nexthor products — such as installation videos, before-and-after photos, or product reviews — may share this content subject to the following:

• The content must be accurate, professional, and consistent with Nexthor's brand positioning.
• The content must not make unsubstantiated performance or durability claims beyond what Nexthor officially states.
• The content must comply with the customer consent and GDPR requirements in Section 5.
• By sharing content that features Nexthor products or branding, you grant Nexthor a non-exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide licence to reshare, repost, or use that content in Nexthor's own marketing, with or without attribution, unless you explicitly withdraw this permission in writing.
• Content that reflects poorly on the Nexthor brand — regardless of intent — must be removed promptly upon Nexthor's request.

The name Nexthor™, the Nexthor logo, and all associated visual identity elements are trademarks of Digital Bug s.r.o., protected under applicable trademark, copyright, and intellectual property law. All rights are owned exclusively by Digital Bug s.r.o.

The limited brand use rights granted to partners under this Policy:

• Do not transfer any ownership or proprietary rights to the partner.
• Terminate automatically upon termination of the Partner Agreement.
• May be revoked by Nexthor at any time for breach of this Policy.

You must not do anything that could weaken, dilute, or damage Nexthor's trademark rights or brand reputation. Any goodwill generated through your use of the Nexthor brand inures to the benefit of Nexthor, not to you.

Unauthorized or improper use of Nexthor brand elements is a serious violation of the Partner Agreement and this Policy. Consequences may include:

• Immediate written demand to cease and remove the unauthorized use.
• Formal warning under the Conflict Resolution & Enforcement Policy.
• Suspension or termination of the Partner Agreement.
• Legal action for trademark infringement, passing off, or damages where Nexthor's rights have been materially harmed.

Nexthor reserves the right to pursue all available legal remedies in cases of trademark infringement or deliberate brand damage, regardless of whether the Partner Agreement has been terminated.

Nexthor may update this Policy from time to time as the brand evolves. Material changes — including changes that restrict previously permitted uses — will be communicated to active partners at least 30 days before taking effect. You will be given a reasonable transition period to update any existing materials that no longer comply with the updated Policy. Continued participation in the Nexthor Partner Network after any update constitutes acceptance of the updated guidelines.
