Partner co-Marketing Guidelines

While we encourage our reseller network to use the resources provided in the Alertus Partner Portal, we ask that you stay within the framework we provide. You may only use the resources provided to you in this Partner Portal. The language and images you use your website may not have potential to confuse visitors and prospective customers that the products and solutions you are presenting are yours, and not those of Alertus Technologies.

Things you CAN do:

  1. You can utilize content that we make available for you on the Alertus Partner Portal. Any available marketing resources will be provided and clearly identified as resources for resellers to use.

Things you CAN'T do:

  1. You can't copy our text word for word. This is bad for all of us as search engines will punish us all for the duplicate content. It can also confuse visitors and prospects and dilutes the Alertus brand. Please rewrite your content to resolve this issue.

  2. You can't use our product descriptions word-for-word or site imagery. A quick test to figure out if something is usable is to ask yourself if we have made it available for download/use via the Partner Portal. If not provided in the Partner Portal, you can link Alertus videos, but you may not embed them on your site without permission. It looks like you have outdated images on your site, so please use this opportunity to update.

  3. You must use proper product names, copyrights, and make it clear in your copy that the products you are describing are proprietary to Alertus.

  4. You can't reference any direct customer of Alertus as a case study or reference for your company. You may share case studies if clearly stated that it is a direct Alertus customer.
