Links to Third-Party Sites

Our Site may contain links to third-party websites not controlled by us. We assume no responsibility for the content or practices of these external sites. Linking to these sites does not imply endorsement by us.

We reserve the right to modify or discontinue the Site or any services provided without prior notice. Additionally, we may terminate this agreement for any reason, with or without notice. If we terminate your access due to violations of these terms, you will immediately lose access to the Site. The clauses related to warranties, liabilities, indemnity, dispute resolution, and your content will survive the termination of this agreement.

Search Services

If you use our search services, we employ reasonable methods to identify potential matches to the trademarks you wish to use. However, we cannot guarantee that your trademark will be approved by the USPTO or that it will not face challenges, even with our search services. There are cases where automated searches may not identify conflicts that could result in rejection by the USPTO.

Trademark Search Scope:

  • Our Trademark Impression federal search reviews the USPTO database and includes direct matches, phonetic similarities, or visual design similarities.
  • Our Trademark Impression federal, state, and common law search extends to all 50 states, a business registry, and domain name databases, including matches in phonetics, design, or translation.
  • Our Trademark Impression global search includes the USPTO database, state databases, business registries, domain name databases, the WIPO database, and the European Community database, focusing on direct matches, phonetic similarities, or visual design likenesses.

Trademark Monitoring Services

Our trademark monitoring service reviews the filing of new applications that are direct matches, phonetically similar, similar in terms of translation, or appearance by way of design to your marks as published in the Official Gazette of the USPTO and Trademark Impression.

Subscription and Auto-Renewals

If you signed up for one or more subscription services through the Website, these additional terms apply. Your license to the Services is valid during the period your subscription remains in good standing and there are no outstanding subscription payments. To keep your Subscription Term valid and in force, you must pay all charges to your account relating to your subscriptions, including applicable taxes and fees.

YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR SUBSCRIPTION FEES UNTIL YOU CANCEL YOUR SUBSCRIPTION OR IT IS OTHERWISE TERMINATED. Unless otherwise provided, your Subscription Term is on an automatic renewal and you will be required to pay, through the credit card provided by you, for the next applicable Subscription Term at the beginning of the Subscription Term period.

Disclaimers of Warranty and Limitations of Liability

We provide the Website and the related services "as is", "where is", and "as available." We make no express and/or implied warranties or guarantees about the Website, the goods and services described thereon. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE AND OUR OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, AGENTS, VENDORS DISCLAIM ANY AND ALL EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTIES THAT THE WEBSITE AND SERVICES ARE MERCHANTABLE, OF SATISFACTORY QUALITY, ACCURATE, TIMELY OR FIT FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR NEED.

Dispute Resolution and Arbitration

For the purposes of this Section, references to "Trademark Impression," "you," and "us" include our respective subsidiaries, affiliates, agents, employees, business partners, predecessors in interest, successors, and assigns. Any Dispute shall be FINALLY and EXCLUSIVELY resolved by binding individual arbitration conducted by the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") under its Consumer Arbitration Rules.

ARBITRATION OF YOUR CLAIM IS MANDATORY AND BINDING. NEITHER PARTY WILL HAVE THE RIGHT TO LITIGATE THAT CLAIM THROUGH A COURT. NO CLASS ACTION, OR OTHER REPRESENTATIVE ACTION OR PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL ACTION OR JOINDER OR CONSOLIDATION OF ANY CLAIM WITH A CLAIM OF ANOTHER PERSON OR CLASS OF CLAIMANTS SHALL BE ALLOWABLE.

Right to Opt-Out

You may opt-out of arbitration by notifying us of your decision to reject the arbitration clause in writing. You must notify us in writing within 30 days of accepting this Agreement. Failure to do so will make this Agreement binding on you.

Refund Policy

All packages include attorney-conducted searches and are non-refundable. Once a search and clearance report is issued, payment will be automatically processed within 24-48 hours if we do not receive a response from you via email or phone.
