1. Website operator and purpose

The Website is operated by or on behalf of Intellectulaw, The Law Offices of P.B. Tufariello, P.C. for INTELLECTULAW services (collectively, "we," "us," or "our").

INTELLECTULAW is designed to provide information about intellectual property and business legal services. The Website may describe services such as trademark naming guidance, preliminary clearance guidance, trademark application preparation and filing, prior art searches, freedom to operate searches, patent application preparation and filing, copyright application preparation and filing, prosecution support, monitoring, oppositions, cancellations, cease-and-desist work, brand-protection counseling, non-disclosure and confidentiality agreements, business to business contracts, intellectual property licensing, and other legal services.

The Website is informational and promotional. It is not a substitute for a conflict check, individualized legal advice, a written engagement agreement, or direct attorney review of your facts.

2. Acceptance of these Terms

By accessing or using the Website, submitting information, joining a waitlist, requesting a call, using a payment link, using a client-portal link, downloading materials, or communicating with us through the Website or related online channels, you agree to these Terms to the extent applicable to your use of the Website.

If you do not agree with these Terms, do not use the Website or submit information through it.

3. Attorney advertising

The Website may constitute attorney advertising. Prior results, descriptions of experience, testimonials, media posts, educational materials, examples, or case discussions do not guarantee any future result.

No statement on the Website should be understood as a promise or guarantee that a trademark will be available, approved, registered, enforced, defended, maintained, or free from challenge; that a patent will be granted, enforced, defended, maintained, or free from challenge; that a copyright will be registered, enforced, or free from challenge; or that any agreement will be successfully made or meet the expected goals.

4. No legal advice through the Website

The Website provides general information about intellectual property and business law and INTELLECTULAW services. The Website does not provide legal advice for any specific person, business, application, dispute, deadline, or transaction.

Do not rely on Website content, blog posts, videos, social-media posts, FAQs, pricing summaries, downloadable materials, or automated form responses as legal advice. Intellectual property law is fact-specific, and small differences in names, goods, services, channels of trade, timing, ownership, use, specimens, and prior rights can materially change the analysis.

5. No attorney-client relationship from Website use, forms, social media, or payment links

Viewing the Website, following or commenting on a INTELLECTULAW social-media account, sending a direct message, submitting a form, uploading information, requesting a consultation, joining a waitlist, receiving a scheduling link, receiving an automated response, or starting a payment process does not create an attorney-client relationship.

An attorney-client relationship is formed only after conflicts are cleared, the matter is accepted by the responsible attorney or law firm, and a written engagement agreement or other written confirmation of representation is signed or issued.

Do not post confidential information, proposed trademarks, deadlines, disputes, or sensitive facts in social-media comments or public Website areas. If confidential or sensitive information is needed, we may direct you to Clio or another appropriate channel after an intake process.

6. Prospective-client information and conflicts

Information submitted through the Website may be used to evaluate an inquiry, conduct a conflict check, decide whether representation is possible, and communicate with you about potential services.

Submission of information does not mean we can represent you. We may decline or be unable to accept a matter for any reason permitted by law and applicable professional-responsibility rules, including conflicts, jurisdictional limits, capacity, scope, timing, or suitability.

Until representation is confirmed in writing, do not assume that we are protecting your rights, monitoring a deadline, preparing a filing, responding to a government office, or taking any legal action for you.

7. No emergency or deadline monitoring before engagement

The Website is not intended for emergency legal communications. Do not use Website forms, social media, or general email for urgent deadlines unless the responsible attorney or law firm has expressly directed you to do so in an active matter.

No USPTO, TTAB, Copyright Office, PTAB, court, contract, response, renewal, extension, opposition, cancellation, cease-and-desist, or other deadline is being monitored unless we have expressly agreed in writing to represent you for that matter and to monitor that deadline.

If you have received a USPTO Office Action, TTAB paper, PTAB paper, cease-and-desist letter, lawsuit, platform takedown, or other time-sensitive communication, consult counsel promptly.

8. Privacy Policy and data processing

Your use of the Website is also governed by the INTELLECTULAW Privacy Policy, which is incorporated by reference into these Terms.

As described in the Privacy Policy, information submitted through the Website, intake forms, payment links, emails, scheduling tools, and client portals may include contact information, proposed trademark information, goods and services descriptions, website and social-media information, deadline information, payment information, documents, and other information related to prospective or active matters.

By using the Website or submitting information, you acknowledge that information may be collected, stored, transmitted, and processed through service providers used for website hosting, website operations, forms, payment processing, client portals, matter management, billing, document storage, security, and communications.

9. Clio, payments, client portals, and storage of client information

We use Clio, including Clio Manage, Clio billing tools, Clio client-portal features, and Clio Payments, to help administer intake, conflict review, client communications, matter management, document storage, docketing, billing, invoices, payment plans, subscription payments, trust or operating payments, and payment records.

If you use a Clio portal, Clio payment link, Clio intake link, or other Clio feature, information you provide may be processed by Clio and its payment-processing or technology partners according to their own terms, privacy policies, security practices, and legal obligations.

When payment is made through Clio Payments or another authorized processor, we generally do not receive or store full credit card, debit card, or bank account numbers. We may receive limited payment-related information, such as name, amount, invoice number, transaction status, payment date, matter reference, transaction identifier, and partial payment-method details.

Do not send full payment-card numbers, bank account numbers, or other sensitive payment credentials by email, social media, or public forms.

10. Wix, DreamHost, website hosting, and technical operations

The Website is hosted, built, maintained, supported, or routed through Wix and DreamHost services. Wix, DreamHost, and their related service providers may process information necessary to host, display, secure, troubleshoot, analyze, back up, and operate the Website.

Website operation may involve cookies, server logs, security tools, forms, analytics, page views, IP addresses, device information, browser information, and other technical data as described in the Privacy Policy.

If information is submitted through a Website form, booking tool, chat tool, embedded feature, or other Website function, the information may pass through Wix, DreamHost, Clio, or other authorized systems before it is routed to us.

11. Services descriptions are summaries only

The Website may describe INTELLECTULAW services such as Patents, Trademarks, Copyrights, Intellectual Property Litigation, Business & Commercial Litigation, Corporate Formation, License and Distribution Agreements, General Business Contracts, and other legal services. These descriptions are summaries for informational and marketing purposes only.

The written engagement agreement or subscription agreement controls the actual scope of services, included services, excluded services, attorney response times, plan limits, client responsibilities, payment terms, minimum terms, cancellation terms, renewal terms, and any carryover or non-rollover rules.

No Website description should be interpreted as unlimited legal services, unlimited attorney access, unlimited filings, unlimited prosecution, unlimited disputes, unlimited cease-and-desist work, or unlimited monitoring.

12. Fees, government fees, and third-party costs

Legal fees shown on the Website do not include USPTO filing fees, TTAB filing fees, PTAB filing fees, court costs, foreign counsel fees, investigation costs, expert fees, courier fees, platform fees, database-search costs, settlement payments, damages, judgments, taxes, or other third-party charges unless a written engagement agreement expressly states otherwise.

Government fees and third-party costs may change and may depend on the services or actions required.

The client is responsible for timely payment of required government fees and approved third-party costs unless the written engagement agreement states otherwise. Failure to pay required fees or costs may result in missed filings, missed deadlines, abandonment, loss of rights, or termination of representation, subject to applicable professional obligations.

13. Payment authorization and nonpayment

If you authorize a payment Clio Payments or another authorized processor, you authorize the applicable charges according to the written engagement agreement, invoice, payment authorization, or checkout terms.

Making a payment does not create an attorney-client relationship unless and until conflicts are cleared, the matter is accepted, and a written engagement agreement or written confirmation of representation is in effect.

If payment fails, is reversed, is disputed, or is not timely made, we may suspend future services, decline to begin work, withdraw from representation, or terminate access to plan benefits, subject to applicable law, court rules, tribunal rules, USPTO/TTAB/PTAB rules, ethics rules, and professional obligations.

If you believe a charge is incorrect, contact us promptly before initiating a chargeback so the issue can be reviewed.

14. Refunds and terminations

Refunds and termination rights are governed by the written engagement agreement. Website summaries do not modify those terms.

Termination does not automatically end responsibility for pending deadlines, government fees, third-party costs, or separately authorized work. If representation has begun, withdrawal or termination must be handled consistently with applicable professional obligations.

If a client terminates representation, the client remains responsible for arranging continued representation unless the written agreement states otherwise.

15. Client responsibilities

Clients and prospective clients are responsible for providing truthful, complete, accurate, and timely information.

You are responsible for reviewing all documents provided to you promptly and carefully for truth and accuracy to the best of your knowledge including all filings, specimens, evidence, correspondence, invoices, and instructions.

You must notify us promptly of deadlines, correspondence, disputes, changes in business ownership, changes in trademark use, changes in goods or services, changes in contact information, and any facts that may affect an intellectual property or other related matter.

16. No guarantee of outcome

No attorney, law firm, Website, intake form, search, application, demand letter, opposition, cancellation, or enforcement effort can guarantee trademark availability, patentability, copyrightability, non-infringement, USPTO approval, registration of trademark, registration of copyright, grant of patent, maintenance, enforceability, settlement, withdrawal of an objection, avoidance of disputes, or litigation result.

Intellectual property searches and clearance reviews reduce certain risks but cannot eliminate all risks. Other users may have unregistered rights, foreign rights, prior rights, pending uses, marketplace activity, made prior disclosure, or facts that are not found or not evaluated in a particular search scope.

USPTO, TTAB, PTAB, US Copyright Office, court, platform, and third-party decisions are outside our control.

17. Not insurance

INTELLECTULAW provides legal-services, not insurance policies. Legal services do not insure against intellectual property disputes, refusals, oppositions, cancellations, litigation, damages, settlements, judgments, government fees, third-party costs, or business losses.

INTELLECTULAW does not provide any insurance that pays damages, judgments, settlements, penalties, fines, adverse-party fees, inventory losses, rebranding expenses, advertising losses, or business interruption costs unless a written agreement expressly states otherwise.

18. Educational materials, downloadable content, and checklists

The Website may provide checklists, guides, articles, videos, cost calculators, quizzes, roadmaps, comparison pages, FAQs, or educational materials. These materials are for general informational purposes only and may not reflect current law, current USPTO rules, current fees, current deadlines, or your specific facts.

You may use downloadable materials for your own internal informational purposes. You may not sell, republish, copy, modify, distribute, or use them to provide legal services or legal advice to others without written permission.

19. Website accounts, passwords, and client-portal access

If you receive access to a client portal, payment portal, scheduling system, or account, you are responsible for keeping login credentials confidential and for notifying us promptly of suspected unauthorized access.

Do not share portal credentials with unauthorized persons. If a business has multiple owners, employees, agents, or advisers, the client is responsible for identifying who is authorized to access matter information.

20. Communications and consent to electronic communications

By submitting information through the Website or otherwise communicating with us electronically, you consent to receive communications by email, telephone, video conference, text message, portal message, postal mail, and other methods reasonably related to your inquiry or matter, subject to applicable law and your communication preferences.

Electronic communications may not be secure. Do not send highly sensitive information through unsecured channels unless directed. Service-related communications may continue even if you opt out of marketing communications.

21. Social media

INTELLECTULAW may maintain social-media profiles or post educational content on platforms such as TikTok, LinkedIn, Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, Threads, X, or other platforms.

Social-media content is general information, not legal advice. Comments, direct messages, follows, likes, shares, tags, or replies do not create an attorney-client relationship.

Do not post proposed marks, disputes, deadlines, confidential facts, or sensitive documents in comments or direct messages. We may delete, hide, or not respond to comments or messages for any reason permitted by law and platform rules.

22. Third-party websites and platforms

The Website may link to or integrate with third-party websites, platforms, databases, scheduling tools, payment processors, client portals, social-media platforms, government websites, search tools, or educational resources.

We do not control third-party sites or platforms and are not responsible for their content, availability, accuracy, privacy practices, security, terms, fees, or actions. Your use of third-party sites or platforms is subject to their own terms and policies.

23. Intellectual property rights in Website materials

The INTELLECTULAW name, Website design, text, graphics, logos, icons, videos, downloadable materials, checklists, images, layout, and other materials are owned by or licensed to the Website operator, except for third-party materials.

You may not copy, scrape, reproduce, modify, distribute, display, publish, sell, license, reverse engineer, or create derivative works from Website content without written permission, except for ordinary personal use of the Website or as permitted by law.

Nothing on the Website grants a license to use the INTELLECTULAW name, logo, or other brand identifiers.

24. User submissions and permission to use submitted information

If you submit information, documents, text, images, logos, specimens, screenshots, links, files, or other materials through the Website, Clio, email, or another authorized channel, you represent that you have the right to provide them and that they are accurate to the best of your knowledge.

You authorize us to use submitted information for purposes described in the Privacy Policy and, if representation is accepted, to provide legal services, conduct searches, prepare filings, communicate with government offices, communicate with third parties, manage records, process payments, and perform related services within the applicable scope of engagement.

You should not submit materials that infringe others rights, contain malicious code, violate law, or include information you are not authorized to disclose.

25. Prohibited uses

You may not use the Website to violate law, infringe rights, submit false or misleading information, impersonate another person, interfere with Website operation, attempt unauthorized access, upload malicious code, scrape content, spam, harvest information, or misuse forms, payment links, client portals, or communication tools.

We may block, restrict, or terminate access to the Website, forms, materials, or online systems if we believe access is being misused or creates risk.

26. Accuracy, availability, and changes to Website content

We aim to keep Website information accurate and useful, but we do not warrant that Website content is complete, current, error-free, uninterrupted, or suitable for your specific circumstances.

Trademark laws, USPTO rules, TTAB rules, fees, deadlines, platform rules, and legal standards may change. Website content may be updated, removed, or modified at any time without notice.

Website availability may depend on Wix, DreamHost, Clio, internet service providers, browsers, devices, security tools, and other third-party systems. We are not responsible for Website unavailability or delays that occur before an attorney-client relationship is formed.

27. Disclaimers

To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Website and Website content are provided "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including warranties of accuracy, completeness, timeliness, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, availability, or uninterrupted operation.

These disclaimers do not waive duties that cannot be waived under applicable law, court rules, tribunal rules, ethics rules, or a written attorney-client engagement agreement.

28. Limitation of liability for Website use

To the fullest extent permitted by law, and except for obligations that cannot be limited by law, we will not be liable for damages arising from use of or inability to use the Website, reliance on general Website information, Website errors, Website unavailability, third-party platforms, social-media communications, or unauthorized access to Website systems.

This section is not intended to limit professional duties owed to an accepted client under an applicable written engagement agreement or rules of professional conduct.

29. Indemnification for misuse of the Website

To the fullest extent permitted by law, you agree to be responsible for losses, damages, liabilities, claims, costs, and expenses, including reasonable attorneys fees, arising from your misuse of the Website, your violation of these Terms, your submission of false or unauthorized information, your infringement of third-party rights, or your unlawful conduct.

This section does not alter any rights or obligations that may exist under a written attorney-client engagement agreement.

30. Jurisdictional limits and unauthorized practice

The Website is not intended to solicit legal matters in jurisdictions where the responsible attorney or law firm is not authorized to practice or where the Website would violate applicable law or ethics rules.

Legal services may be limited by attorney licensure, jurisdiction, subject matter, conflicts, capacity, professional obligations, and the scope of the written engagement agreement.

31. Governing law, venue, and dispute resolution

Unless a written engagement agreement states otherwise or applicable law requires a different rule, these Website Terms are governed by New York, unless another jurisdiction is required by applicable law or a written engagement agreement states otherwise.

Nothing in these Terms limits a client right that cannot be limited under applicable law or professional-responsibility rules.

32. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. The updated version will be posted on the Website with a revised effective date or last-updated date.

Your continued use of the Website after changes are posted means that the updated Terms apply to your continued Website use, to the extent permitted by law.
