These notices are only for informational reasons and represent the general standards that apply to the majority of trademarks.

FORMS AND DISCLAIMER CREATED

Please keep in mind that we are a technology platform that assists in the development of forms, not a law firm or legal service provider. If you purchase one or more packages that include cease and desist letters, assignment of trademark letters, or other forms, you will be eligible for a form document that includes the information provided by you or from your uploaded files. We are not a legal alternative, so we are unqualified to provide you with legal advice. Our customer support staff are not compelled to address any of your legal questions, and they will not engage in any legal discussions. Because information communications between you and our customer support agents are not monitored, you should avoid disclosing any confidential information to them. As your counsel of record, we can assist you in preparing your trademark application but cannot file it for you. We are not obligated to provide you with legal advice on your specific trademark.

We may, but are not compelled by contract, review the data you supply us for completeness, fraudulence, or administrative errors.

You will not make your purchase if you are under the impression that you have obtained legal advice or assistance from us.

We provide you a draught of the application for your approval. If you do not answer in a timely manner, you authorized us to sign your name to the application, file it as specified in the draft, and collect the $350 governmental filing fee from you at that time.

SERVICES FOR SEARCH

When you use our search services, we employ commercially and professionally reasonable procedures to find marks that are similar to the ones you want to use. We cannot, however, guarantee that your mark will be accepted even if you use our search services. There could be a number of reasons why the USPTO rejects your mark, and there are times when an automated search may fail to find a mark that the USPTO considers to be a grounds for rejection.

Similarly, when you include common law mark searches in your order, we employ commercially acceptable procedures to find marks that may be an equal match to the ones you want to use. We cannot, however, promise that your mark will be free of all claims or challenges made by holders of common law rights to all marks. There are some cases where an automated search may fail to uncover a standard law mark that is identical to your mark.

The purpose of the search report is to provide you with the necessary marks to satisfy the parameters defined for the type of search you use. It is not intended to be a legal framework or legal advice as to whether your proposed mark will be rejected or judged similar to another mark. You may want to consult with an attorney about the results of the search report we provide you.

The unpredictability of any Disputes is regulated by the Federal Arbitration Act, not any state arbitration legislation. Concerning the substantive and substantial law of any Disputes, the laws of the State of California control the non-arbitration related interpretation of this Agreement and the substantive law of any Dispute, notwithstanding any clashes of laws and principles.

Arbitration. Any Dispute shall be resolved CONCLUSIVELY and EXCLUSIVELY by bonding individual arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") in accordance with its Consumer Arbitration Rules. This arbitration agreement is made in connection with an interstate transaction and is governed by the Federal Arbitration Act. (9 U.S.C. 1-16).

ARBITRATION OF YOUR CLAIM IS REQUIRED AND FINAL. NEITHER PARTY WILL BE ABLE TO LITIGATE THAT CLAIM IN COURT. EXCEPT AS PROVIDED FOR IN THE AAA CODE OF PROCEDURE, NEITHER PARTY WILL HAVE THE RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL OR TO ENGAGE IN DISCOVERY IN ARBITRATION.

The arbitrator shall make final all regulations pertaining to the scope, interpretation, enforceability, applicableness, and validity of this Agreement, and his or her ruling shall be contractually binding and final. Any court with jurisdiction may pass judgement on the arbitral award. This arbitration clause will continue if: i) the Agreement is terminated; or ii) any party declares bankruptcy. If any part of this arbitration clause is found to be unlawful, invalid, or unenforceable, The remaining provisions will continue in effect.

You agree to commence arbitration proceedings exclusively in your county of permanent residence or in California, United States. We agree to hold arbitration only in your home county. By following the AAA guidelines, you can request a telephonic or in-person hearing. Any hearing in a dispute involving $10,000 or less will be conducted over the phone unless the arbitrator finds sufficient cause to convene an in-person hearing instead. The arbitrator has the same authority as a court to award you specific damages. The arbitrator may only grant declaratory or injunctive relief to you individually, and only to the amount necessary to satisfy your specific claim. Nothing in this agreement prevents IP Menders, LLC from requesting that the arbitrator award IP Menders, LLC any arbitration costs, including any Administrative Fees paid on your behalf.

If the Dispute is not arbitrated by the parties' choice or if a court does not compel arbitration if either party elects to arbitrate for whatever reason, the Dispute will be determined by a court without each party's right to a jury trial. Any such judicial proceeding, including any efforts to compel arbitration or initially filed lawsuits, arising out of or relating to this Agreement or use of the Sites shall be handled only by a court of competent jurisdiction situated in California.
