Use of the NUTELLA® trademark

NUTELLA® is a registered trademark of Ferrero S.p.A.
The use of NUTELLA® hazelnut spread in the preparation of other products does not automatically grant a right to use the NUTELLA® trademark. However, certain limited use is authorized by Ferrero S.p.A. under the terms and conditions set forth below.

 

TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR THE USE BY INDEPENDENT RETAILERS OF THE NUTELLA® TRADEMARK FOR FRESHLY-MADE PRODUCTS FOR IMMEDIATE CONSUMPTION

 

These Terms & Conditions (“T&Cs”) exclusively apply to independent retailers operating in the field of sale of foodstuffs and/or foodservice (e.g. independent bakeries, restaurants, pastry-shops or cafés) (hereafter “Retailers”), in United Kingdom and Ireland and intend to refer to NUTELLA® hazelnut spread as a characterizing ingredient of one or more of their products (hereafter “Product”). These T&Cs and the right to use granted herein applies to single store independent Retailers only; any retailer of foodstuffs and/or foodservice operator that is part of a “chain” or acts as a franchisee is not considered a Retailer and therefore is not authorized to use to the NUTELLA® mark under these T&Cs. If a retailer is uncertain as to whether it is an authorized Retailer, it may contact Ferrero Foodservice directly.

Ferrero can amend or withdraw the T&Cs, and Retailers agree to check at least every six months whether T&Cs have been modified or withdrawn. Retailers agree to comply with and to be bound by the most up-to-date version of the document.
