Terms and Conditions

1. THE PARTIES / EFFECTIVE DATE
This Agreement is made between Trademarkings Inc. (“We,” “Us”) and You (“Client”) and is effective as of the latest date of signing by Client.

2. SERVICES PROVIDED, RESPONSIBILITIES OF TRADEMARKINGS INC. AND CLIENT

  • Trademarkings Inc. is a trademark firm that employs or sub-contracts registered trademark agents, licensed attorneys, paralegals, and assistants to provide trademark filing and related services. While we are not a law firm, all trademark applications are prepared, reviewed, and filed by licensed trademark attorneys to ensure quality and compliance with jurisdictional requirements.
  • The scope of services is detailed for each corresponding trademark country on our pricing page. All additional services are subject to additional charges.
  • We will perform the agreed services, keep you informed of progress, and respond promptly to inquiries. You agree to cooperate with us, provide accurate and timely information, promptly pay all fees and costs, and keep us informed of your current contact information.
  • You understand that trademark applications are subject to examination and approval by the relevant government authority and that registration cannot be guaranteed.

3. FEES

  • How We Charge:
    Fees for services are outlined on our pricing page and services page (“Pricelist”). Additional fees may apply for tasks outside the scope of the Pricelist or for more complex cases. Fees will be disclosed for your acceptance before proceeding.
  • Initial Fees:
    Fees paid when submitting our online forms correspond to the selected service and may not include all fees required for registration. Additional fees may apply for unforeseen events such as government objections or third-party oppositions.
  • Examination Fees:
    Government authorities examine all trademark applications for registrability. Depending on the package purchased, we will provide advice at no cost for issues raised during examination. Substantial actions may incur additional fees, which will be quoted for approval.
  • Additional Class Fees:
    Trademark applications require specifying goods or services, which are classified into 45 categories. Beyond the first class, government fees (varies by jurisdiction) and a professional fee of USD $50 per additional class apply. We aim to minimize costs by drafting applications to cover only necessary classes.
  • Registration guarantee:
    If you select our “Value” or “All-Inclusive” package, we offer a Registration guarantee. If your application is rejected after responses are submitted, we will file an amended application at no additional professional fee (government fees, if any, are paid by the Client). However, we cannot guarantee registration, as final decisions are made by the intellectual property office. The amended application may differ from your preferred trademark representation.
  • Payment Timing, Refunds, and Other Costs:
  • Payments are typically required upfront and are non-refundable. Refunds may be issued if requested within 48 hours and no work has been performed. Partial refunds may apply after work commences at our discretion.
  • Government fees are non-refundable.
  • Interest may be charged for late payments, and additional charges may apply for international bank transactions or postage.

4. COSTS AND EXPENSES
Government fees are separate from our service fees. These vary by jurisdiction and the number of classes included in the trademark application.

5. CONFIDENTIALITY AND WORK PRODUCT
All writings, notes, research, and confidential materials prepared by us will remain protected under confidentiality and applicable attorney-client privilege provisions.

6. TERMINATION
You may terminate our engagement at any time with reasonable notice. We reserve the right to terminate the agreement for valid reasons. Upon termination, you agree to pay for all fees and expenses incurred prior to the termination date.

7. ENTIRE AGREEMENT AND SEVERABILITY
This Agreement constitutes the entire understanding between the parties. No other promises, statements, or agreements made before the effective date will be binding. If any provision is deemed unenforceable, the remaining provisions will continue in effect.

8. FORM OF SIGNATURES
This Agreement may be executed electronically. Your payment constitutes confirmation that you have read and agree to these terms and conditions.
