Confidential Information.

2.7 Protection, Maintenance and Enforcement of Yahoo! Trademarks.

(a) Prosecution and Maintenance of Yahoo! Trademarks. Yahoo! shall have sole control and discretion over the prosecution and maintenance worldwide of the Yahoo! Trademarks (and any translations of any of the Yahoo! Trademarks, any Trademarks that are confusingly similar to any of the Yahoo! Trademarks or any such translations, and any Trademarks that include any of the Yahoo! Trademarks or any such translations or confusingly similar Trademarks), other than, subject to Section 2.6(a), the domain name xxx.xxxxxxxx.xxx, and such prosecution and maintenance shall be at Yahoo!’s sole expense. Notwithstanding anything in Section 2.1, Yahoo! or any of its Affiliates may register any top-level domain containing any of the Yahoo! Trademarks or any translations of any of the Yahoo! Trademarks, any Trademarks that are confusingly similar to any of the Yahoo! Trademarks or any such translations, and any Trademarks that include any of the Yahoo! Trademarks or any such translations or confusingly similar Trademarks, including, for the avoidance of doubt, any top-level domain containing the word “Yahoo.”

(b) Right to Bring Actions. Yahoo! shall have the primary right to bring, and control, at its expense, any lawsuits against any infringement, misappropriation or other violation of the Yahoo! Trademarks in the Territory. In the event that Yahoo! does not bring an action for infringement, misappropriation or other violation of the Yahoo! Trademarks in the Exclusive Field, and such infringement, misappropriation or other violation is having a material adverse effect on Alibaba or China Yahoo!, Alibaba or China Yahoo! may, upon written notice to Yahoo! and Yahoo!’s written consent (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), bring its own action at its own expense, but only to the extent and while Alibaba or China Yahoo! has standing to xxx without joining Yahoo! to the lawsuit. Yahoo! reserves the right to intervene in such actions at its own expense at any time, and must approve in writing any settlement involving Yahoo! Trademarks.

(c) Right to Defend Actions. Yahoo! shall have the option to defend any third party suit that challenges Yahoo!’s rights to the Yahoo! Trademarks in the Territory. Yahoo! shall not settle any such suit in a manner that would materially adversely affect the exclusive rights of Alibaba under Section 2.1 of this Agreement in any Yahoo! Trademarks without Alibaba’s written consent, not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Alibaba shall have the right to participate in any such suits defended by Yahoo!, at Alibaba’s own cost. If Yahoo! elects not to defend any such suit, Alibaba or China Yahoo! shall have the right (subject to Yahoo!’s consent), but not the obligation, to defend or otherwise resolve such suit, at its expense. Yahoo! shall at all times reserve the right to intervene at its own expense, in any such suit defended by Alibaba or China Yahoo! and must approve in writing any settlement involving Yahoo! Trademarks.

(d) Cooperation. Yahoo!, Alibaba and China Yahoo! shall cooperate and use commercially reasonable efforts to police the Yahoo! Trademarks in the Territory, and shall cooperate (as necessary) in connection with any litigation or other adversarial action involving any of the Yahoo! Trademarks.

2.8 No Other Rights. Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, neither party shall have any rights in the technology or Intellectual Property Rights of the other. No rights are granted, or may be implied, or may arise under any theory of estoppel, other than those expressly set forth in this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Alibaba has no license under any Intellectual Property Rights of Yahoo! outside of the Territory.

2.9 Injunctions. The parties agree that in the event of a breach or threatened breach of the foregoing provisions of this Article II, damages suffered by the other party shall not be fully compensated in money damages alone, and accordingly, the other party shall, in addition to all other available legal or equitable remedies, be entitled to an injunction against such breach or threatened breach without any requirement for posting any bond or undertaking in connection therewith to prevent any further breach or threatened breach of this Article II. This remedy is separate and apart from, and without prejudice to, any other remedies the other party may have.

ARTICLE III

USE OF YAHOO! TRADEMARKS

3.1 Usage Guidelines. Alibaba’s and China Yahoo!’s use of the Yahoo! Trademarks shall adhere to the Yahoo! Brand Guidelines, as such Yahoo! Brand Guidelines may be revised during the Term by Yahoo!, provided that Alibaba is given written notice and a copy of such revised Yahoo! Brand Guidelines and a reasonable time to adhere to such revised Yahoo! Brand Guidelines. Alibaba’s and China Yahoo!’s use of the Yahoo! Trademarks shall also be at least of comparable quality to related goods and services provided by industry-leading Internet companies in the Territory.

3.2 Reviews. Upon Yahoo!’s periodic request, no more than twice in any calendar quarter or four times each calendar year, Alibaba will provide Yahoo! with samples of advertising and promotional materials developed by or for Alibaba or China Yahoo! and using the Yahoo! Trademarks in order for Yahoo! to assess compliance with Section 3.1. If, after Yahoo! reviews any such sample or any other use by Alibaba or China Yahoo! of any of the Yahoo! Trademarks, Yahoo! determines in its reasonable and good faith judgment that such sample, screenshot or other use does not comply with Section 3.1, Yahoo! shall provide written notice to Alibaba describing such non-conformance. Alibaba and China Yahoo! shall cure, within forty-five (45) days, any breach of Section 3.1.

3.3 Quality of Content. Alibaba agrees, and shall cause China Yahoo! to agree, to strictly adhere to the Yahoo! Brand Guidelines. Neither Alibaba nor China Yahoo! shall (a) associate (or knowingly permit the association of) the Yahoo! Trademarks with any material, content or hyperlinks to material or content that is obscene, unlawful, defamatory or derogatory of any racial, religious or ethnic group, or any material, software, images, audio, video or content that is pirated or that infringes, misappropriates or otherwise violates the rights of others or (b) use any Yahoo! Trademarks in any manner which is unethical, immoral, offensive, or which could otherwise reasonably be expected to impair, tarnish, dilute or otherwise damage the value and goodwill associated with any Yahoo! Trademarks. For purposes of the foregoing, “association” includes links to or from Internet sites. For purposes of determining compliance with this Section 3.3 with respect to obscenity, Alibaba’s compliance with local Laws shall be deemed compliance with this Section 3.3.

3.4 No Adverse Claim. Alibaba agrees, and shall cause China Yahoo! to agree, that it will not at any time during or after this Agreement assert any claim or interest in or do anything which may adversely affect the validity or enforceability of any Yahoo! Trademarks. Unless otherwise agreed to between the parties, Alibaba will not, and shall cause China Yahoo! to not, adopt, use, register, seek to register or cause to be registered any of the Yahoo! Trademarks, or any Trademark confusingly similar thereto anywhere in the world, without Yahoo!’s prior written consent. With respect to any current or future Trademark registrations or applications for any Yahoo! Trademarks, or any Trademarks confusingly similar thereto owned or filed by Alibaba or China Yahoo! without Yahoo!’s prior written consent, Alibaba shall promptly transfer, or cause China Yahoo! to transfer, ownership thereof along with the goodwill associated therewith to Yahoo!, at Alibaba’s sole cost. Failure of Alibaba to initiate transfer of ownership within thirty (30) days of a written request by Yahoo! and to thereafter diligently prosecute the transfer shall be considered a material breach of this Agreement.

3.5 Restrictions. Notwithstanding Section 2.1, Alibaba shall not (and shall cause China Yahoo! not to), and shall not cause, permit or assist any other Entity to (and shall cause China Yahoo! not to cause, permit or assist any other Entity to), at any time during the Term of this Agreement or thereafter:

(a) use, reproduce or display any of the Yahoo! Trademarks contiguous to, connected to or otherwise arranged in combination with any other Trademark, term or brand element such that any of the Yahoo! Trademarks is not visually distinct from, or is grouped with, any such other Trademark, term or brand element;

(b) use, reproduce, display or otherwise exploit any of the Yahoo! Trademarks outside of the Territory;

(c) use any of the Yahoo! Trademarks in connection with any new business, product or service in the Territory that is different than the business, products and services of Alibaba as of the Amendment and Restatement Effective Date, except for any new business, product or service in the Territory in connection with operating the portal and web search results business of Alibaba and China Yahoo! during the initial two (2) years of the Amendment and Restatement Period; or

(d) otherwise do any act or thing that disparages, challenges, impairs, dilutes or tarnishes the Yahoo! Trademarks or the reputation or goodwill associated with any of the Yahoo! Trademarks.

3.6 Yahoo! Research Center. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Yahoo! shall be entitled to establish a research center (whether in one or more locations) in the Territory using the Yahoo! Trademarks; provided, however, that: (1) Yahoo! shall provide Alibaba with sixty (60) days advance written notice prior to commencing operation of such research center; (2) such research center shall not engage in generating any revenue through the sale of products; and (3) aside from the foregoing, such research center shall not limit in any way the scope of the licenses granted to the parties under this Agreement or any noncompetition agreement between the parties. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, Yahoo! shall not be precluded from installing or using any Yahoo! technology in connection with the research center for the purpose of performing research as permitted in this Section 3.6.

The party receiving any Confidential Information agrees to maintain the confidential status of such Confidential Information and not to use any such Confidential Information for any purpose other than the purpose for which it was originally disclosed to the receiving party, and not to disclose any of such Confidential Information to any third party. The receiving party shall use the same care as it uses to maintain the confidentiality of its Confidential Information but in no event less than commercially reasonable measures.

5.2 Permitted Disclosure.

In the event a party is required to disclose Confidential Information as required by Law, such party will, to the extent practicable, in advance of such disclosure, provide the other party with prompt notice of such requirement, a reasonable opportunity to object to such disclosure and to disclose only such information as is legally required. Such party also agrees, to the extent legally permissible, to provide the other party, in advance of any such disclosure, with copies of any information or documents such party intends to disclose (and, if applicable, the text of the disclosure language itself) and to cooperate with the other party to the extent the other party may seek to limit such disclosure.

5.6 Injunctions. The parties agree that in the event of a breach or threatened breach of the foregoing provisions of this Article V, damages suffered by the disclosing party shall not be fully compensated in money damages alone, and accordingly, the disclosing party shall, in addition to all other available legal or equitable remedies, be entitled to an injunction against such breach or threatened breach without any requirement for posting any bond or undertaking in connection therewith to prevent any further breach or threatened breach of confidentiality obligations hereunder. This remedy is separate and apart from, and without prejudice to, any other remedies the disclosing party may have.

ARTICLE VI

ROYALTY AND OTHER PAYMENTS

6.1 Royalties. In consideration of the rights granted under the Original Agreement and this Agreement and the licenses to be granted by Yahoo! to Alibaba pursuant to that certain Transition Services Agreement dated as of May 20, 2012, by and between Yahoo! and Alibaba, Alibaba shall pay to Yahoo!

(a) Payment Terms. All payments under the Original Agreement or this Agreement shall be made by wire transfer to an account designated by Yahoo!: All payments of Royalties under the Original Agreement or this Agreement shall be made within forty-five (45) days of the end of the calendar quarter in which such amounts are collected by Alibaba, and any adjustment required based on the results of a year end audit will be reflected in the first quarter payment for the following year; provided, however, that if the last day upon which payment can be timely made is not a Business Day, then payment made on the next Business Day will still be considered timely made.

(b) Reports. All Alibaba Royalty payments and Yahoo! invoices shall be accompanied by a written report signed by an authorized Alibaba or Yahoo! officer, as applicable, setting forth a description of transactions giving rise to payments in detail sufficient to support calculations of the amounts paid or invoiced, as applicable, as well as such other similar information as Yahoo! or Alibaba may reasonably request.

6.3 U.S. Currency.

(a) In this Agreement, all references to currency shall be references to the currency of the United States of America; provided, however, that Royalty payments shall be calculated in renminbi (or the then official currency of the Territory) and shall be converted to U.S. dollars on the date payment is due, or if payment is made late then the conversion shall occur at either the rate on the date payment was due or the rate when payment is made, whichever is more favorable to Yahoo!. The rates of exchange for payments shall be the midpoint between the buying and selling rate for U.S. dollars, as determined by the daily 10 am spot rates quoted by the U. S. Federal Reserve Bank in New York, New York on the applicable date (currently available at xxx.xx.xxx.xxx/xxxxxxx/xxxxxxx/xxxx.xxx). Where, by reason of Law, it is impossible to make payment in U.S. dollars, notice thereof in writing will be given to Yahoo! and said payments shall be deposited in whatever currency is allowable, for the benefit or credit of Yahoo!, by wire transfer into an accredited bank in a country as shall be acceptable to Yahoo!.

6.4 Government Requirements. If, in the Territory, Royalties of the type or amount required herein are prohibited by Law, the parties shall negotiate an alternative method to compensate Yahoo! for the amount it should have received as a Royalty.

6.6 Taxes.

(a) Sales taxes, etc. Alibaba shall bear (without deduction from any payments to Yahoo!) any sales, use, transfer, excise or other similar tax or customs fee, whether foreign, U.S. federal, state or otherwise, however designated, which are levied or imposed by reason of the transactions contemplated by the Original Agreement or this Agreement. In lieu of paying any such taxes, Alibaba may provide Yahoo! with a valid tax exemption certificate acceptable to the applicable taxing authorities.

(b) Withholding Taxes. If Alibaba is required to withhold any taxes from payments made to Yahoo! under the Original Agreement or this Agreement (excluding any (i) taxes described in Section 6.6(a), (ii) taxes measured by or imposed upon the overall net income of Yahoo! or (iii) taxes that are imposed by reason of any connection between the jurisdiction imposing such tax and Yahoo! other than a connection arising from Yahoo! having executed, delivered or performed its obligations under, or received payment under or enforced, this Agreement) (all taxes other than those described in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii), “Non-Excluded Taxes”)), Alibaba shall increase the amounts so payable to Yahoo! to the extent necessary to yield to Yahoo! (after payment of all Non-Excluded Taxes) the amounts specified in the Original Agreement or this Agreement; provided, however, that Alibaba shall be entitled to deduct and withhold any Non-Excluded Taxes and shall not be required to increase any such amounts payable to Yahoo! under the circumstances and to the extent set forth in Section 6.6(c). Whenever any Non-Excluded Taxes are payable by Alibaba, as promptly as possible thereafter Alibaba shall send to Yahoo! a certified copy of an original official receipt received by Alibaba showing payment thereof or other evidence of payment reasonably satisfactory to Yahoo!.

(c) Certifications, etc. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 6.6(b), Alibaba shall be entitled to deduct and withhold any Non-Excluded Taxes and shall not be required to increase any amounts payable to Yahoo! in respect of Non-Excluded Taxes that would not have been incurred but for the failure of Yahoo! to comply with any certification, identification, information, documentation or other reporting requirement, if compliance is required by law, regulation, administrative practice or an applicable treaty as a precondition to exemption from, or reduction in the rate of, Non-Excluded Taxes.

(d) Refunds, etc. If Yahoo! receives a refund or a tax credit in respect of taxes for which Alibaba has made increased payments pursuant to Section 6.6(b), Yahoo! shall promptly pay, as the case may be, the amount of such refund (together with any interest with respect thereto received from the relevant taxing authority) or an amount equal to the tax benefit actually received by Yahoo! (if at all) and associated with such tax credit to Alibaba; provided, however, that Alibaba agrees promptly to return the amount of such refund or such tax benefit (together with any interest with respect thereto due to the relevant taxing authority) to Yahoo!, upon receipt of a notice that such amounts are required to be repaid to the relevant taxing authority.

6.7 Auditing Rights. Alibaba shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, keep complete and accurate records, in compliance with GAAP, which are sufficient to determine the Royalty payments due to Yahoo! under the Original Agreement or this Agreement. Alibaba shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, maintain such records for the Term and three (3) years thereafter. If Alibaba fails to have its books and records audited by one of the “big 4” independent certified public accounting firms for any calendar year, then, in order to ensure compliance with the terms of this Agreement, Yahoo! shall thereafter have the right, at its own expense, to direct an independent certified public accounting firm chosen by Yahoo! to inspect and audit all of the books and records of Alibaba which are relevant to the Royalties payable to Yahoo!; provided, however, that: (a) Yahoo! provides fifteen (15) Business Days notice prior to such audit; (b) any such inspection and audit shall be conducted during regular business hours in such a manner as not to interfere with normal business activities; and (c) in no event shall audits be made hereunder more frequently than twice (2) per calendar year (unless accounting errors amounting to five percent (5%) or more of the applicable total are ever found to Yahoo!’s disadvantage). If any audit should disclose an underpayment by Alibaba, Alibaba shall promptly pay such amount, together with interest thereon at the rate set forth in Section 6.5.

Technology Products (exclusive of the Alibaba Enhancements) or any part thereof with other materials not provided by Yahoo! where such infringement, violation or misappropriation would not have arisen from the use of the Yahoo! Technology Products (exclusive of the Alibaba Enhancements) or portion thereof absent such combination; (ii) modification of the Yahoo! Technology Products (exclusive of the Alibaba Enhancements) or portion thereof by anyone other than Yahoo! or on its behalf where such infringement, violation or misappropriation would not have occurred but for such modifications; (iii) designs or development requests provided by Alibaba; or (iv) use of the Yahoo!

In addition, regardless of whether the foregoing options are reasonably available, the parties shall reasonably cooperate to: (A) develop a non-infringing alternative; (B) establish the invalidity of the claimed infringement, misappropriation or violation; and/or (C) minimize damages related to any portion of the claim that the parties believe to be valid.

Alibaba’s indemnification obligation is contingent upon: (A) Yahoo! providing Alibaba with prompt written notice of the Claim; (B) Alibaba controlling and directing the investigation, preparation, defense and settlement of the Claim; and (C) Yahoo! providing Alibaba with reasonable assistance in the defense or settlement thereof.

The amount that any Indemnifying Party is or may be required to pay to any indemnified party pursuant to this Article VIII shall be reduced (including retroactively) by any insurance proceeds or other amounts actually recovered by or on behalf of such indemnified parties in reduction of the related indemnifiable loss. If an indemnified party shall have received the payment required by this Agreement from an Indemnifying Party in respect of an indemnifiable loss and shall subsequently actually receive insurance proceeds, or other amounts in respect of such indemnifiable loss as specified above, then such indemnified party shall pay to such Indemnifying Party a sum equal to the amount of such insurance proceeds or other amounts actually received after deducting therefrom all of the indemnified party’s reasonable costs and expenses associated with the recovery of any such amount.

8.7 Subrogation. In the event of payment by an Indemnifying Party to any indemnified party in connection with any third-party Claim, such Indemnifying Party shall be subrogated to and shall stand in the place of such indemnified party as to any events or circumstances in respect of which such indemnified party may have any right or claim relating to such third-party Claim.

ABBREVIATED BRAND GUIDELINES

Introduction

A few key things to keep in mind when using the Yahoo! brand in marketing materials:

1. All marketing materials using the Yahoo! brand should be approved by Yahoo!. Please contact your Yahoo! marketing representative.

2. The appropriate logos can be obtained by contacting your Yahoo! marketing representative.

3. The full graphic Yahoo! logo should be used in all marketing materials. Where space constraints prevent use of the full Yahoo! logo, the graphic Y-Bang logo can be used.

4. Please read this document in its entirety. Contact your Yahoo! representative with any questions.

EXTERNAL GUIDELINES FOR PARTNERS v05.06.11 FOR EXTERNAL USE 1

ABBREVIATED BRAND GUIDELINES

Using the word “Yahoo!”

When using the word Yahoo! in text:

Always include the exclamation point “!”- it is a part of our name, like any other character, and part of our trademark.

The “Y” is uppercase and “ahoo” is lowercase.

If “Yahoo!” is the last word in a sentence, please punctuate the sentence as you normally would. The “!” at the end of the word Yahoo! does not serve as final punctuation in a sentence.

Example: The internet seems simple when you use Yahoo!.

Incorrect uses of the word Yahoo! in text:

“Yahoo!” should not be written in all-capitals, nor in all lowercase.

Yahoo! should not be abbreviated in text, especially in external communications.

Example: Y! is my homepage. (incorrect)

Do not use Yahoo! as a verb

Example: Have you yahooed today? (incorrect)

Do not use Yahoo! as an exclamation of joy or in reference to a coarse, boorish person.

EXTERNAL GUIDELINES FOR PARTNERS v05.06.11 FOR EXTERNAL USE 2

ABBREVIATED BRAND GUIDELINES

Master Brand Logo

The master brand logo is the umbrella brand xxxx for Yahoo!.

When using the master brand logo, always make sure that:

the original artwork is used

the logo is not placed on its side or at an angle and cannot be cropped

the color is correct (see below)

the appropriate trademark symbol is used (see “Registered Sign,” next page)

For high-res versions of the Yahoo! logo, contact your Yahoo! representative.

Yahoo!®

Logo Color

We have two approved colors for our logo: purple and white. The primary color of the Yahoo! logo is our very own “Yahoo! Purple,” a unique, exclusive Pantone color that was specially formulated for Yahoo!. Consult the “Yahoo! Purple – Our Brand Color” section for online and offline color formulas.

The preferred background for our logo is white. However, the logo can be used against a wide range of background colors. The purple logo looks best when placed against a light color in our complementary color palette. In situations where the purple logo will not work, for example when placed against a dark background color, the logo may be reversed to white.

The only time a black logo is acceptable is for black and white print processes.

Note: For detailed information on the correct purple color specifications to use, please see the “Color” section of this document.

Minimum Size

When reproducing the Yahoo! logo in print, please avoid scaling the logo smaller than 3/4” in width.

Trademark Symbol

The standard Yahoo! logo and Y-Bang logo should use the ® symbol in all markets. In some cases where a non-descriptive name is used for a new property, a ™ symbol may be required instead. Please reach out to your Yahoo! representative to confirm which symbol to use for the specific deal type.

If space is limited or other features on a page make a page overly busy, include the ® or ™ symbol at least once on the page, usually in the first or most prominent place the xxxx appears. Subsequent uses of the xxxx on the same page do not require the ® or ™.

ABBREVIATED BRAND GUIDELINES

The Y-Bang Logo

The Y-Bang should always appear in environments where either the full Yahoo! logo or “Yahoo!” in plain text is visible in the experience.

The only time the Y-Bang logo can be used as a replacement for the full Yahoo! logo is in space constrained environments. Please contact your Yahoo! representative for approval of any exceptional use cases.

The Y-Bang logo comes in two varieties: the standard flat Y-Bang and the standard 3D Y-Bang. For high-res versions of these Y-Bang logos, contact your Yahoo! representative.

To protect our trademark, the shape of the Y-Bang cannot be altered in any way.

The placement of the “Y” and the exclamation point (we call it the Bang) cannot be altered.

Do not add shading or gradients.

Standard Flat Y-Bang Logo

The standard flat Y-Bang is the most commonly used Y-Bang logo as it works in all offline and printed applications.

Y!®

3D Y-Bang Logo

The 3D Y-Bang is intended for most online and mobile applications. Using the 3D Y-Bang offline is acceptable when it’s reproduced using a printing method capable of three-dimensional shading. We only have one 3D Y-Bang logo. This one. Other versions are not brand-approved.

Y!®

EXTERNAL GUIDELINES FOR PARTNERS v05.06.11 FOR EXTERNAL USE 7

ABBREVIATED BRAND GUIDELINES

Y-Bang Logo Color

Similar to our master brand Yahoo! logo, the Y-Bang is preferably seen in Yahoo! Purple. The standard flat and 3D Y-Bang logos work best against a white background. However the Y-Bang logos can also be shown against our complementary color palette. Consult the “Yahoo! Purple – Our Brand Color” section for online and offline color formulas.

The Y-Bang can be reversed out to white when used against dark backgrounds. In these cases, the “Y” in the oval should be punched-out to show the background color behind the logo. A black Y-Bang can only be used for black and white print processes.

Clear Space

The Y-Bang logo must always be surrounded by a minimum expanse of open space, as shown here. Type, graphics, illustrations, or headlines should not be attached to the edge of the logo; it should remain clean and uncluttered. This allows for a legible, easily identifiable logotype, which is crucial to maintaining the full visual impact desired.

Y Y!® Y Use the height and width of the “Y” as a guide to determine the minimum clear space around the logo.

Minimum Size

The Y-Bang logo should never be printed smaller than 1/2 inch wide. For online uses, the Y-Bang should never be smaller than 24 x 24 pixels, unless being used as a favicon.

EXTERNAL GUIDELINES FOR PARTNERS v05.06.11 FOR EXTERNAL USE 9

ABBREVIATED BRAND GUIDELINES

Keep in mind the following dos and dont’s when using the Y-Bang logos.

DOs

Include the Yahoo! logo or Yahoo! in text wherever using the Y-Bang.

Use the correct trademark registration. If there are any questions, please contact your Yahoo! representative.

Use the correct color (see Y-Bang logo color selection)

Within the desktop environment, always use the full Yahoo! logo when branding properties (e.g. Yahoo! Finance). Exceptions are limited and must be approved by your Yahoo! representative.

Use the full “Yahoo!” logo, or the word “Yahoo!” when expressing the name of the business or group (e.g. in press releases, collateral, email signatures, etc.)

DON’Ts

Do not change the shape of the Y-Bang (this will ensure our trademark is properly protected). The only exception is the Yahoo! Music Y-Bang logo which has its own trademark.

Do not combine another company’s logo into our Y-Bang logos.

Do not use a black & white Y-Bang logo unless it is being used in black and white printed materials.

Do not replace elements of the Y-Bang logo with other graphics.

Do not use the old (pre-2010) version of the Y-Bang logos.

Do not use the Y-Bang logos for ingredient co-branding or endorsement branding.

Do not lock up together the Y-Bang logo and the full Yahoo! logo.

Do not crop the Y-Bang logo or bleed it off a page so the “Y” is obstructed.

A custom Adobe Swatch Exchange color palette file has been created containing Yahoo! Purple, which will allow you to easily load these four custom colors into your Adobe graphics applications. This file contains color swatches that represent the four versions of Yahoo! Purple specified on this page. To download the file, go to:

xxxx://xxxxxx.xxxxx.xxx/xxxxxxx/xxxxxx/xxxxxxxxx/xxxxxx_xxxxxxx.xxx

Due to inaccurate color calibration of most computer monitors and color printers, the purple you see on your monitor and printer will most likely look more blue than purple. Trust the numbers shown within the Adobe Swatch Exchange color palette, not what you see on your monitor/printer. And ask your print vendors to create color swatches to compare with the official Pantone Yahoo! Purple swatches.

ABBREVIATED BRAND GUIDELINES

Complementary Print Color Palette

The secondary colors are intended to be used as complementary colors in conjunction with Yahoo!’s primary colors of purple and white. This palette would not dictate the background color of a print ad, or the color of elements in a photograph, but would be used to guide you in choosing the colors for the signage at a branded event, or the colors in a vehicle wrap, branded display, or annual report.

This color palette is composed of 13 colors with their complementary darker hues, totaling 26 colors. A strategy of “mixing” purple into the lighter color to derive the darker complement was used in developing this palette. This color palette is predominantly composed of strong, bright hues, and takes its cues from the colors online.

In a further extension to the complementary color palette, a tint chart shows how the 26 colors work in shades of 40%, 60%, 80%, and 100%. Tints can be applied to branding for both specific properties as well as internal corporate communications.
