Terms of Service

Last updated: January 1, 2025

Please read these Terms of Service ("Terms") carefully before using the website at https://www.centraltrademarkregistration.com (the "Site") or engaging the legal services of Central Trademark Registration ("we," "us," "our," or the "Firm"), located at , .

By accessing or using our Site, or by engaging our legal services, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree to these Terms, do not use our Site or services.

1. Use of This Website

Permitted Use. You may use our Site for lawful purposes and in accordance with these Terms. You agree not to use our Site:

No Attorney-Client Relationship from Website Use Alone. The content on this Site is provided for general informational purposes only. Nothing on this Site constitutes legal advice, and your use of this Site does not create an attorney-client relationship with Central Trademark Registration. An attorney-client relationship is only formed when you sign an engagement letter with our Firm and we accept your matter.

2. Legal Services

Engagement. All legal services provided by Central Trademark Registration are subject to a separate engagement letter or fee agreement signed by both parties. These Terms supplement, but do not replace, any such engagement letter. In the event of a conflict between these Terms and an engagement letter, the engagement letter controls.

Scope of Services. We provide trademark registration, copyright registration, business formation, trademark monitoring, office action response, and related intellectual property legal services. The specific scope of services for your matter will be defined in your engagement letter.

Government Fees. Our stated attorney fees do not include government filing fees charged by the USPTO, U.S. Copyright Office, WIPO, or other agencies. These fees are charged separately and are subject to change by the respective agencies. We will always disclose all applicable government fees before proceeding with any filing.

No Guarantee of Results. We cannot guarantee any particular outcome in your legal matter, including the registration of any trademark or copyright application. USPTO and Copyright Office decisions are made by independent government examiners, and approval is not guaranteed. We commit to providing diligent, professional representation in pursuit of your goals.

Timelines. Government processing timelines are estimates based on current USPTO and Copyright Office processing times and are subject to change. We are not responsible for delays caused by government processing, changes in government procedures, or circumstances outside our control.

3. Fees and Payment

Flat Fees. Our stated fees are flat attorney fees covering the described services. Government filing fees are separate unless explicitly stated otherwise. Flat fees are earned upon completion of the specified work.

Payment. Payment is due at the time of engagement unless other payment arrangements are specified in your engagement letter. We accept major credit cards, debit cards, ACH bank transfers, and other payment methods specified at checkout.

Refund Policy. Because legal services involve immediate commitment of attorney time and resources, our fees are generally non-refundable once work has commenced. If you wish to cancel before work begins, please contact us immediately at info@centraltrademarkregistration.com. Government fees paid to the USPTO or other agencies are non-refundable once filed. We will consider refund requests on a case-by-case basis where work has not yet commenced.

Returned Payments. In the event of a disputed charge or returned payment, we reserve the right to suspend work on your matter until the payment issue is resolved.

4. Intellectual Property

All content on this Site, including text, graphics, logos, images, and software, is the property of Central Trademark Registration or its content suppliers and is protected by United States and international copyright laws.
