Particular services or information on this web site may also be governed by additional posted terms or guidelines, all of which are incorporated into this Agreement by reference.

Your use of Trademark Protection Center website (the “Site”) or any Trademark Protection Center applications or application plug-ins (“Applications”) constitutes your agreement to follow and be bound by these Terms of Services (the “Terms of Services”) and to comply with all applicable laws and regulations, including United States export and re-export control laws and regulations.

General Terms

Trademark Protection Center’ Services

Trademark Protection Center offers online legal information to help visitors gain a general understanding of the law, proprietary software for individuals who wish to assemble and file their own legal documents, and access to independent attorneys through our prepaid legal service plans. The Site contains general information on frequently encountered legal issues. Trademark Protection Center’ services also include reviewing your answers for completeness, spelling, and internal consistency of names, addresses, and similar details. Consistent with the scrivener rule, we never review your answers for legal sufficiency, draw legal conclusions, provide legal advice, opinions, or recommendations about your legal rights, remedies, defenses, options, form selection, or strategies, or apply the law to the facts of your particular situation. Trademark Protection Center is not a law firm and may not perform services that an attorney performs. Trademark Protection Center, its services, and its forms or templates are not a substitute for the advice or services of an attorney.

Although Trademark Protection Center strives to keep its legal documents accurate, current, and up-to-date, the law changes rapidly, and Trademark Protection Center cannot guarantee that all information on the Site or Applications is fully current. Legal rules vary by jurisdiction and may be interpreted differently by different courts. Because legal matters are personal, no general information or legal tool of the kind Trademark Protection Center provides can address every circumstance. Moreover, the legal information on the Site and Applications is not legal advice and is not guaranteed to be correct, complete, or current. Accordingly, if you need legal advice for your specific problem, or if your matter is too complex for our tools, you should consult a licensed attorney in your area.

Trademark Protection Center may periodically offer attorney access services and introduce visitors to attorneys through various means, including without limitation our prepaid legal services plans. Performance of any such services does not create or foster an attorney-customer relationship with Trademark Protection Center.

Neither this Site nor the Applications are intended to create an attorney-customer relationship, and your use of Trademark Protection Center does not and will not establish an attorney-customer relationship between you and Trademark Protection Center. Rather, you are and will remain self-represented in any legal matter you pursue through Trademark Protection Center’ legal document service.

We offer self-help “fill in the blank” forms. Once assembled, depending on the form or service purchased, your signature may be required to satisfy the legal requirements of the form. You acknowledge that it is your responsibility to sign and/or have an authorized person sign the assembled documents when requested and before any signature link expires, as applicable.

(1) Amendments Caused by the Company Prior to Filing: Where an amendment to a document is required prior to filing and is attributable to the Company, the Company will amend and/or re-assemble the document to the customer’s specification at no additional charge.

(2) Amendments or Expired Signature Link Caused by the Customer Prior to Filing: Where an amendment to a document is required prior to filing and is attributable to the customer, or where a document’s signature link expires without the customer having signed, the Company will amend and/or re-assemble the document subject to an additional Amendment / Re-Assembly Fee of $50 per requested amendment / re-assembly.

(3) Amendments After a Filing: Where an amendment to a document is required after it has been filed, the Company’s standard subsequent document package rates shall apply.

You shall not remove any copyright notice from any form.

Your Warranty and Indemnification

Right to Refuse

You acknowledge that Trademark Protection Center reserves the right to refuse service to any person and to cancel user access at any time.

Termination

We may terminate this Agreement and your license to use our web site and services at any time and for any reason.

Cancellation and Completion of Services

You acknowledge that payment for services is required at the same time the services are performed. The scope of services under our packages is more fully described in the respective packages as set forth online on Trademark Protection Center’ web site and as purchased and confirmed through the web site and other confirming correspondence.

Trademark Protection Center’ services are performed at or about the time they are ordered. You acknowledge that once the services are performed, regardless of the outcome of those services, the monies paid to Trademark Protection Center for the services have been earned. For our filing package services, you acknowledge that fees are earned as of the date work sufficient to complete a filing is performed, assistance is provided with creating any required account to access a filing portal, or an appointment is scheduled with our team to assist with creating said account or assembling documents, irrespective of whether a corresponding filing is ever completed. If Trademark Protection Center performs services sufficient to complete a filing or other services as set forth above but those services cannot be fully completed due to the action or inaction of the customer or another actor, Customer agrees that Trademark Protection Center has earned the fees for the package ordered and that the only refund, if any, the customer may be entitled to is for government filing fees that ultimately may not have been used. Additional fees may then apply should the customer wish to proceed with the filing.

You acknowledge and agree that once an order is placed with Trademark Protection Center, you may cancel it only for up to 12 hours after the order has been made, subject to the limitations above.

Additional services are offered complimentary to our filing packages so long as you remain a customer of Trademark Protection Center. With respect to other services, you acknowledge that the monies paid to Trademark Protection Center have been earned under these arrangements as of the date work sufficient to complete the purchased package is performed.

Scheduling and No-Show Policy

Trademark Protection Center offers trademark, LLC formation, and related business filing services encompassing assembly, review, scheduling availability, administrative processing, and access to professional support. By purchasing any service package and scheduling an appointment, you acknowledge and agree that Trademark Protection Center has commenced rendering the purchased services and allocating professional and administrative resources on your behalf.

For first-time customers, the initial appointment is complimentary and included as part of the purchased service package. Customers must give at least twenty-four (24) hours’ prior notice to cancel any scheduled appointment and at least six (6) hours’ prior notice to reschedule any scheduled appointment. Failure to attend a scheduled appointment without providing the required notice will constitute a no-show.

In the event of a no-show, Trademark Protection Center may require payment of a non-refundable $15 rescheduling fee before another appointment will be scheduled. You further acknowledge and agree that failure to comply with this scheduling policy or to pay any rescheduling fee shall not constitute grounds for disputing, reversing, or charging back the original purchase price or fees paid for any trademark, LLC, or related filing service package, as services and administrative work begin upon purchase and appointment scheduling.

Trademark Protection Center reserves the right to refuse additional complimentary appointments or to terminate scheduling privileges in cases of repeated missed appointments, abuse of the scheduling system, or suspected bad-faith conduct.

The service is limited to identifying potential blocking trademarks in the database that would create an impediment to registration of the searched trademark by searching for and examining:

Your Federal Search report is then delivered to you within three (3) business days of completion of your order, including payment therefor. The Company reserves the right to alter the delivery date of your report provided advanced notice is given to you. Our research as to whether your trademark is available to be registered before the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office for this report is expressly limited to potential blocking trademarks existing on the database as of the date of the search.

Your Federal Search may include up to five (5) classes of goods and services. If the search involves more than five (5) classes of goods and services, additional reports may need to be purchased.

The Company guarantees that the algorithm and system used to deliver your report are accurate and will let you know if your trademark is available. However, due to the subjective nature of trademark law, it is possible, albeit extremely rare, that a Federal Search may not identify a prior pending trademark application that is later cited as an impediment to registration of your trademark.

After the Federal Search is performed, if the report identifies a trademark that you believe may impede your registration within the scope of this service prior to filing, you have two options:

First, if you wish to research an alternative trademark, you will receive a 10% discount off the regular price for another Federal Search. There is no limit to the number of alternative trademarks to which this discount will apply.

Second, and in the alternative, our customers may proceed with the filing and, if the trademark is refused registration on the grounds identified, receive a 10% discount off any of our Substantive Office Action Response Packages (Substantive).

In the unlikely event your report omits a potential blocking trademark that, upon examination of the search strategy and results you received, should have been identified in your report prior to filing your trademark and, moreover, registration is refused on that basis, we will provide a complimentary self-directed Office Action response using our proprietary software to respond to the refusal at no additional cost to you. The customer agrees that this is the best and sole remedy should this unlikely event occur.

The Federal Search makes no warranties that your use of any trademark is authorized by law or cannot be challenged by potential third parties known or unknown.

Comprehensive Search

Our Comprehensive Search searches the Federal Trademark Database operated by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office and also provides information regarding the most common refusals issued against trademark registrations. The service is designed to research all potential blocking trademarks on the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office’s federal register and to generally identify other potential refusals that could be encountered when seeking to register the trademark with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office.

Your Comprehensive Search report is delivered to you within three (3) business days of completion of your order, including payment therefor. The Company reserves the right to alter the delivery date of your report provided advanced notice is given to you.

Your Comprehensive Search may include up to five (5) classes of goods and services. If the search involves more than five (5) classes of goods and services, additional reports may need to be purchased.

The Company guarantees it will use its best efforts in researching, completing, and delivering the report. However, due to the subjective nature of trademark law, it is possible, albeit extremely rare, that a Comprehensive Search may not generally identify a potential basis for refusal of your trademark.

Please note, the Comprehensive Search DOES NOT include any advice, opinions, or directions as to the results in your report vis-a-vis your legal rights in your proposed trademark.

After the Comprehensive Search is performed, if the report identifies a trademark that you believe may impede your registration, or if you believe there is any other reason not to proceed with the filing prior to filing, you have two options:

First, if you wish to research an alternative trademark, you will receive a 10% discount off the regular price for another Comprehensive Search. There is no limit to the number of alternative trademarks to which this discount will apply.

Second, and in the alternative, our customers may proceed with the filing and, if the trademark is refused registration on the grounds identified, receive a 10% discount off any of our Substantive Office Action Response Packages (Substantive).

In the unlikely event your report omits a potential blocking trademark or other grounds of refusal that, upon examination of the search strategy and results you received, should have been identified in your report prior to filing your trademark and, moreover, registration is refused on that basis, we will provide a complimentary self-directed Office Action response using our proprietary software to respond to the refusal at no additional cost to you. The customer agrees that this is the best and sole remedy should this unlikely event occur.

The Comprehensive Search makes no warranties that your use of any trademark is authorized by law or cannot be challenged by potential third parties known or unknown.

International Trademark Search

A third-party service is used to complete our International Trademark Search of your requested trademark and the requested country.

The Company guarantees it will use its best efforts in researching, completing, and delivering the report and/or having its third-party sources perform the same. However, due to the subjective nature of trademark law, it is possible, albeit extremely rare, that an International Trademark Search may not generally identify a potential basis for refusal of your trademark for the registers searched.

As a result, you acknowledge that Trademark Protection Center cannot be held responsible for errors or omissions in your report resulting from a third-party vendor.

Trademark Registration Services

A Provisional Trademark constitutes a private trademark priority record intended to create independently verifiable evidence of a business’s first use of a trademark, brand name, slogan, logo, design, or other source identifier before seeking federal trademark registration. Under the Provisional Trademark service, the Company creates a digital record of the submitted trademark claim and related information and records that information via a non-fungible token (“NFT”) or similar digital asset on a publicly accessible, searchable, and independently verifiable blockchain. The blockchain record is meant to establish a time-stamped evidentiary record of the information the user submitted as of a particular date and time and to preserve evidence of claimed first use, priority, authorship, ownership, or other trademark-related facts. A Provisional Trademark is not a federal, state, or foreign trademark registration, confers no government-issued trademark rights, and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or a substitute for registration with the United States Patent and Trademark Office (“USPTO”) or any other governmental authority. Instead, a Provisional Trademark is intended as an evidentiary and recordkeeping mechanism that may help trademark owners document and preserve evidence while their business develops and before they choose to pursue formal trademark registration. The Company describes the Provisional Trademark as the “missing first step before federal trademark registration” because it is intended to complement not replace the traditional trademark registration process. The Company makes no representation or warranty that a Provisional Trademark alone creates enforceable trademark rights, guarantees priority, establishes ownership, prevents third-party use, or will be accepted as conclusive evidence by any court, governmental agency, or tribunal.

User Acknowledgement and Consent. By purchasing, ordering, creating, or maintaining a Provisional Trademark, the user expressly acknowledges and agrees that: (a) the Company will create, store, publish, transmit, and maintain a record of the user’s submitted information through one or more blockchain-based technologies, including minting and issuing an NFT or similar digital record; (b) information recorded to a blockchain may become permanent, publicly accessible, searchable, independently verifiable, and incapable of modification or deletion once recorded; (c) the user has reviewed all information submitted for recording and authorizes the Company to record such information or representations derived from it on the applicable blockchain; (d) the user understands that a Provisional Trademark is a private evidentiary record and not a government-issued trademark registration or legal determination of trademark rights; (e) the user remains solely responsible for deciding whether and when to seek federal, state, or international trademark registration or other legal protection; and (f) the user consents to the Company’s use of blockchain technology, NFT technology, and related third-party service providers to create, maintain, verify, and display the Provisional Trademark record. The user further represents and warrants that all information submitted in connection with a Provisional Trademark is accurate to the best of the user’s knowledge and that the user has the legal right to submit such information for recording.
