Step 5 - Changing the logos in your protection database

From your "control" email address email databasechange@forbrains.co.uk with the updated list of URLs of logos you wish to protect (less than 10 for trial version), each on a separate line in the body of the email. If you no longer want to protect "scale.gif", but you want to add "quality.jpg" and "colours.gif"

     To: databasechange@forbrains.co.uk
Subject: Change of database logos

https://logochecker.forbrains.co.uk/images/logochecker.gif
https://logochecker.forbrains.co.uk/images/lite.gif
https://logochecker.forbrains.co.uk/images/quality.jpg

Step 6 - Account management - "Pay as you use" Scheme

If you are using the same "contact" email address across multiple LogoChecker accounts, please remember to detail the "control" email address of the account you are referring to in any emails to us.

If at any time you have a query regarding your account simply email us at sales@forbrains.co.uk from your "contact" email address.

At the end of each calendar month we will email an invoice to your "contact" email address showing a breakdown of usage and charges on your account. You have 28 days to query and pay this invoice.

You can close your account at any time from your "contact" email address by sending your request to sales@forbrains.co.uk.

Page: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 FAQ End

Step 7 - Account management - "Service Band" Schemes

If you are using the same "contact" email address across multiple LogoChecker accounts, please remember to detail the "control" email address of the account you are referring to in any emails to us.

If at any time you have a query regarding your account simply email us at sales@forbrains.co.uk from your "contact" email address.

You pay the basic monthly premium in advance. Any usage charges beyond your service band limits will be added to your next months invoice. Invoices are sent to your "contact" email address on or about the same calendar day your account was activated, showing a breakdown of usage and charges on your account. You have 28 days to query and pay this invoice.

You are required to give at least 14 days notice for closing your account. The service is charged on a per month basis from the date your account became activated. Eg If your account is activated on 25/2/06 you will have to notify us before the 11/4/06, if you want your service to finish on the 24/4/06, and be charged for two months usage. To give notice on closing your account email sales@forbrains.co.uk from your "contact" email address.

Can I have more than one account with the same email address?

Each account has to have a unique "control" email address.
The same "contact" email address can be used for multiple accounts

 
Why is 65536 pixels the maximum size of a logo?

A logo of this size can be 256x256 pixels, which is large for a legitimate logo. The larger the logo the more processor intense the comparison analysis has to be. In order to protect the service from misuse all accounts have this limit imposed on them by default. If you have a genuine key logo that is larger than this simply email sales@forbrains.co.uk to discuss having your account enabled for large logos.
We need to prevent LogoChecker from being used to spot doctored photographs, in order to maintain a fast and efficient online service for all our clients. If you are after this kind of service please contact sales@forbrains.co.uk, so that we can arrange a dedicated server or cluster to meet your needs.
