This page states the terms and conditions (“Terms of Use”) under which you may use the Website and any materials, online communications and other information that is or becomes available on the Website. By accessing the Website you accept and agree to be bound, without limitation or qualification, by these terms and conditions. The Terms of Use are a legal and binding agreement between you and Trademark Access.  If you do not accept any of the terms or conditions stated here, do not use the Website.

Not Legal Advice or Attorney-Client Relationship

Information found in this Website is provided for general informational purposes only and should not be construed as legal advice. Legal issues are highly factual matters and advice which may be given is highly dependent on the facts of each case. You are urged to consult an experienced lawyer concerning your particular factual situation and any specific legal questions you may have.  Delaying addressing legal issues may prejudice your rights or your ability to protect or attain rights.

The information found on this Website is not intended to constitute, and does not constitute, a solicitation for the formation of an attorney-client relationship.  No attorney-client relationship is created as a result of any exchange of information through use of this Website.  An attorney-client relationship will not attach between you and Trademark Access or any of our attorneys until at least after all of the following occurs: (1) you have entered into a written engagement agreement with us; (2) we have conducted a conflicts-of-interest check and cleared any potential conflicts; and (3) you have paid the required retainer fee; legal advice will only be rendered after all of these and other formal-procedures have been completed.  Information you provide us via e-mail or through this website shall be subject to our Privacy Policy and will not be considered confidential unless you formally engage us after completion of the engagement procedures described above.  In the event you enter into an engagement agreement with us and any term of the engagement agreement conflicts with the Terms of Use, then the conflicting term of the engagement agreement shall govern.

 Jurisdiction and Venue

Trademark Access is located in Salt Lake City, Utah. Lawyers in the firm are licensed to practice in limited jurisdictions. Trademark Access does not seek to represent anyone desiring representation based upon accessing the Site in a jurisdiction where the Site fails to comply with applicable laws and ethical rules. In addition, our attorneys do not seek to practice law in any jurisdiction in which they are not properly authorized to do so. No Trademark Access attorney will undertake representation of clients in states where he or she is not admitted or otherwise properly authorized to do so.  If you engage us, you will be deemed to have come to Utah for the services and all work performed by us for you will be deemed to be performed by us in the State of Utah and subject to the Utah Rules of Professional Responsibility. You acknowledge and agree that any disputes arising from or relating to the Website or any services identified on the Website will be resolved by the courts located in the State of Utah and you expressly agree to be subject to personal jurisdiction by the courts located in the State of Utah for such purposes.

Discount Fees Only Available Through Website

Legal fees and any other service fees recited on the Website only apply to services that are ordered through the website and expressly agreed to in an engagement agreement between you and Trademark Access.  The legal fees recited on the website are commonly discounted fees provided on a flat fee basis because of limitations and restrictions set forth in the engagement agreement applicable to the services. If you seek legal services directly through the law firm Trademark Access. (Trademark Access), then the standard fees of Trademark Access. shall apply.

Government Filing Fees

Fees charged by the United States Patent and Trademark Office for filings in connection with trademark applications and trademark registration are typically based on a per class of goods or services basis.  In the event your application or registration involves more than one class of goods or services, you may be required to pay additional fess for each additional class.  Furthermore, while the government filing fee charged by the USPTO is commonly $325 per class of goods or services, in cases where the entire description of goods or services may be found in the U.S. Acceptable Identification of Goods and Services Manual the fee charged by the USPTO is usually $275 per class of goods or services.  Nonetheless, because finding appropriate descriptions from the U.S. Acceptable Identification of Goods and Services Manual may require additional research and legal analysis to determine whether an available description would be appropriate in an applicant’s particular circumstances, the total charge for preparing and filing a U.S. trademark application, which includes both the attorney fee and the government filing fee, will be the same irrespective of whether the fee charged by the USPTO is $325 or $275 per class of goods or services.

Refund Policy

Payments made through the Website for services are deemed earned as soon as we initiate performance  of services. Except in limited circumstances where required by law, refunds are not available once services have been initiated because of the small size of the flat fees involved and the administrative time and resources involved in setting up each new account.  Trademark Access does not guarantee the successful outcome of any matter undertaken for clients. Predictions about the outcome of trademark applications, prosecution, litigation or other matters are only estimates and expressions of judgment, and are not representations or guarantees that any particular result will actually occur.
