The VELUX trademark in adtexts

It is always allowed for dealers to use a trademark as a subdomain in the display url of an adtext e.g. www.xxxxx.xx/VELUX

Google only allows the trademark owner to use a trademark in the headline and description lines in adtexts (GB/IE/US/CA excepted). The trademark owner needs to authorize your Google account to use their trademark in your adtexts. However, due to the VELUX Group’s market position, it will not grant this authorization to VELUX dealers. Instead, you should write “roof window blinds” in the adtext.

The VELUX Group and Google do not tolerate use of text manipulation e.g. “VELUXblinds” in adtexts. The VELUX Group registers any violation and reports to Google. Text manipulation is considered a violation.
