Body Tempering® Trademark Use
As you may already know, Body Tempering, LLC is the rightful owner of the trademark "Body Tempering." The Body Tempering Certification allows you to use the "Body Tempering" mark in limited uses. Specifically, you may mention the "BT-C1" or "Body Tempering® Level 1 Certified" certification in your biography, resume, curriculum vitae, or professional biography. You may also list this qualification on your business card.
​
Please be advised that this is your official notice. Without explicit permission from Body Tempering, LLC, you are not permitted to use the Body Tempering® trademark in any business name or in any manner that could lead someone to assume you are an officially linked business organization. This includes—but is not restricted to—using the Body Tempering® brand as part of the name of a fitness center, studio, or other connected enterprise.
Additionally, without specific permission from Body Tempering, LLC, you are not permitted to use the Body Tempering® brand in any social media handles or usernames that might lead a viewer to believe you are an officially linked company.
