Deadline Monitoring Subscription Terms

These terms govern the recurring Deadline Monitoring subscription only. Individual trademark searches are one-time purchases and are covered by the Search Terms & Conditions instead.

What you get Billing & renewal Cancelling Refunds Price changes Limits

This subscription renews automatically

  • It renews by itself until you cancel. There is no fixed end date and no renewal reminder you need to act on.
  • What you pay: $6 per month, or $60 per year if you chose the annual plan. You picked one of these at checkout.
  • When you are charged: at the start of each period, on the same date, using the payment method you gave Stripe. Monthly plans are charged every month; annual plans every twelve months.
  • How to stop it: cancel at any time from your portfolio, using the Manage or cancel link next to your subscription status. Cancel before the renewal date to avoid the next charge.
  • Prices include no tax. Any sales tax is added at checkout where it applies.

1. What the subscription buys

Listing the marks you own is free and stays free. The subscription buys two things: the computed statutory deadlines on those marks, and an automated watch of newly published USPTO marks. It is an automated USPTO watch, not a full watch service, and you confirmed you understood that scope when you subscribed.

What it does

  • Computes the statutory maintenance deadlines (§8, §9, SOU windows and similar) from your mark's public USPTO record, and shows them with a countdown
  • Compares newly published USPTO marks against your docketed marks weekly
  • Flags similar marks in overlapping classes so you have time to consider opposition
  • Emails you what it found, with the publication date and the opposition window

What it does not do

  • Search state trademark registers
  • Monitor common-law or unregistered use, trade press, domains or marketplaces
  • Monitor foreign filings, including those claiming US priority
  • Involve a human reviewing every result before it reaches you
  • File anything for you or extend any deadline. The dates and duties remain yours.

If your mark is commercially important, use a professional watch service in addition to this one. Ours is an automated first alert, not a substitute for comprehensive watching.

2. Cancelling

Cancel whenever you like, from the account you subscribed with, without emailing or telephoning anyone: open your portfolio and use Manage or cancel beside your subscription status. That opens our payment processor's billing page, where cancelling takes one click.

Cancelling stops the next charge; it does not end the current period. Monitoring keeps running until the period you have already paid for ends, and then stops. You are not charged again.

Your marks are not deleted when you cancel. They stay listed in your portfolio, but computed deadlines and watch alerts stop. Resubscribing turns both back on.

If the billing page will not open for any reason, email support@launchtimeip.com and we will cancel it for you. A technical failure on our side is never a reason you stay subscribed.

3. Refunds

Because cancelling always leaves you with the time you paid for, we do not refund part-used periods as a matter of course. If you were charged for a renewal you did not want and you tell us promptly, email support@launchtimeip.com and we will refund that renewal.

If a charge is plainly wrong (a duplicate, a charge after you cancelled, or a charge for a service that was not delivered), we refund it in full. Nothing in these terms limits any refund right you have under applicable law.

4. Price and term changes

We may change the price or what the subscription includes. If the change affects you, we will email the address on your account at least 30 days before it takes effect, and it will only ever apply to a period that begins after that notice. If you do not want to continue at the new price, cancel before then and you will not be charged it.

We will not change the price of a period you have already paid for.

5. What this is not

LaunchTime IP is software, not a law firm. Subscribing does not create an attorney–client relationship, nothing the subscription produces is legal advice, and no one here is acting as your attorney. Deadlines and their consequences remain yours to meet.

The deadlines we compute come from the public USPTO record. That record can be incomplete, delayed or wrong, and our computation can be wrong too. Treat what you see as a prompt to check, not as the final word. A deadline that we miss, compute incorrectly, or fail to alert you to is still your deadline, and we are not liable for a missed filing, a lapsed registration, or an opposition window that closes. If a deadline matters, confirm it against the USPTO record and take advice.

We may suspend or end a subscription if payment fails and is not corrected, or if the account is used in a way that breaks these terms. If we end it without cause, we refund the unused part of the period.

6. General

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. If any part of them is unenforceable, the rest continues to apply.

Your information is handled as described in our Privacy Policy. Payments are processed by Stripe; we never see or store your full card number.

In short. $6 a month or $60 a year, renewing automatically until you cancel. Cancel in one click from your portfolio; monitoring runs out the period you paid for. It is an automated first alert on the federal register, not a full watch service and not legal advice. The deadlines are still yours to meet.
