Terms of Service | MarkCompare

1. Introduction These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your use of the MarkCompare website and services, including our Global Brand Screening reports and IP Tech Advisory services (collectively, the "Service"). By purchasing a report or engaging our services, you agree to be bound by these Terms.

2. Nature of Service: MarkCompare provides market intelligence and risk detection services. We are not a law firm, and we do not provide legal advice.

Information Only: Our reports identify potential conflicts based on algorithmic logic and manual research. This information is for decision-support purposes only.
No Guarantee: A "Low Risk" or "Green" result does not guarantee that an official office will register your trademark, nor does it guarantee that you will not face opposition or infringement claims from third parties.
Professional Counsel: You should always consult with a qualified Intellectual Property attorney before making legal decisions, filing applications, or launching a brand based on our reports.

3. Scope of Screening Reports

Limitations: While we strive for comprehensiveness across 10+ channels, trademark databases and web indexes are subject to lag times, data errors, and incomplete records. We cannot guarantee that every possible conflict will be detected.
Subjectivity: The "Traffic Light" risk classification represents our expert opinion based on similarity criteria, but trademark examiners or judges may hold different views.

4. Payments and Refunds

Fees: Screening report prices are one-time fees as displayed on our website at the time of purchase.
No Refunds: Due to the manual and custom nature of the research work, fees are non-refundable once the screening process has commenced. If you made a mistake in your order, contact us immediately at info@markcompare.com.
Taxes: VAT will be applied where applicable based on your location and status (B2B/B2C) in accordance with Irish and EU tax laws.

5. Intellectual Property

Your Data: You retain all rights to the brand names and materials you submit for screening.

6. Limitation of Liability To the maximum extent permitted by law:

MarkCompare shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages (including loss of profits, rebranding costs, or legal fees) arising from your use of the Service or reliance on our reports.
Our total liability for any claim arising out of these Terms or the Service shall not exceed the total amount paid by you to MarkCompare for the specific service giving rise to the claim.

7. Indemnification You agree to indemnify and hold harmless MarkCompare from any claims, damages, or expenses arising out of your use of the Service or your violation of these Terms (e.g., if you use our report to knowingly infringe on a third party's rights).

8. Governing Law These Terms are governed by the laws of Ireland. Any disputes arising from these Terms shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Ireland.

9. Contact Information If you have questions about these Terms, please contact us at info@markcompare.com
