Use of the NSI Logo
Only NSI approved companies are entitled to display the NSI Gold and Silver logo depending on the NSI approval the hold.
If you have used the NSI name or logo or any other material or description without the relevant authorisation or approval, we have the right to stop you using the paperwork, products and other marketing materials including websites, emails and social media displaying the NSI name or logo on them or that refer to NSI. We may require you to destroy these or amend them so that they no longer have the NSI name or logo or any other unauthorised material on them.
You must not directly or indirectly use or make any statement which may suggest that the NSI approval includes any form of approval other than the type of NSI approval you actually hold.
