Links from official city of Glendale (“Glendale”) Web sites are decided on an individual case basis by the city’s Marketing/Communications Department.

  • Unless we enter into a specific written agreement with you, you may not use any of Glendale’s logos, designs, slogans, images, trademarks or service marks in or with your links, except that you may link to a Glendale site using the plain text name of that site or the plain text name of City of Glendale.
  • Do not present the link to a Glendale site in any way that suggests Glendale has any relationship or affiliation with your site or endorses, sponsors or recommends the information, products or services on your site. Do not use any of Glendale’s names, logos, designs, slogans, trademarks or service marks in any advertising, publicity, promotion, or in any other commercial manner without the prior express written permission for a particular use from Glendale.
