Description

This company has several websites for different countries, but I used the stats from www.aldi.us

Nice find with the trademark guidelines, @Garbg 👍🏻 Unfortunately, though, the line below means we're going to have to seek their permission to add it. Would you like to see if you can make contact with them?

The trademarks, service marks, copyrighted material, patents and other intellectual property owned or used by ALDI Inc. may not be used by you without the express written consent of ALDI Inc.

I don't want to request permission because I don't know who to ask, and I know nothing about the law.

I don't know who to ask

Looking at their website, this is probably the best starting point we have.
Could you drop them a message, @Garbg? We can't look to add this icon until we've got permission (previous Aldi icons were added by a former employee of the Schwarz Group).

@adamrusted: I don't see anything written for the usage of Aldi (Nord or Süd).

Looking at Aldi corporate website where the logo is hosted, the terms of use says that:

Except with the express written consent of ALDI Inc., the materials in this site may be used only for personal, non-commercial purposes.

Refer: https://corporate.aldi.us/newsroom/multimedia-library/terms-of-use/

So, aren't we good to add this @adamrusted?

Nope, we can't guarantee our users will use only for personal / non-commercial purposes, and the fact still stands that we'd need written permission from them for any other use case.

I'll close this for now
