This contract is between the “User” requesting the services through the web site and Trademarkers.com, hereinafter the “Company”, acting directly or through its Attorneys. The agreement on Terms and Conditions for Use and the Privacy Policies are an integral part of this Contract.

1. DESCRIPTION OF SERVICES

   Our full-service solutions cover the entire process of acquiring and protecting a trademark which includes the following:

   • Trademark Study - This involves extensive research on similar trademarks, if there is any. If there is a pre-existing claim to your trademark, it is best to know before investing time and resources into proceeding with the application. A trademark study provides a snapshot of potential brands in your target market.

   • Trademark Registration - Trademarks are not protected by the moment it is created hence, the need to register. Through this, potential copycats are deterred from infringing on your brand and also, if a confusingly similar mark is filed, it is much easier to pursue legal action against infringements.

   • Trademark Monitoring - This is vital to ensuring that other parties do not lay claim to your trademark because even after registration, your trademark is only secure as long as your ownership of it is enforced e.g., filing actions for trademark infringements and the like.

2. SPECIFIC SERVICE CONDITIONS
