Galaxy Store Badge Terms and Conditions

Terms and conditions for use of Galaxy Store Badges.

Overview

You help power the Galaxy Store and create unique experiences for Galaxy mobile device and Galaxy Watch device consumers. Samsung welcomes you to promote your apps with a badge that sends your customers to your apps' product detail pages or your entire app line's seller brand page in the Galaxy Store, or sends them to a help page that guides your customers to those Galaxy Store pages (“Badge Service”). Depending on your relationship with us, the process to obtain a badge may vary. Please refer to Seller Portal for more information.

After you obtain a badge URL (“Badge Link”), you can link it to a Galaxy Store badge image, which may be downloaded from Seller Portal, (“Badge Image,” which together with the Badge Link form a “Badge”) and use them in your marketing media (including websites, social media, and email).
