Terms of service

1. The agreement

By creating an account or using Archecura you agree to these terms on behalf of yourself and, if you act for one, your organization. If you do not agree, do not use the service. “We” is Perizer LLC, a Texas limited liability company. “You” is the person or organization holding the account.

2. What the service is

Archecura is software for organizing trademark records and deadlines. It imports public USPTO records by serial number, stores records and documents you provide, computes docket items from published rules, and sends reminders you configure.

3. What the service is not

Archecura is not a law firm and we are not your attorneys. Nothing in the service is legal advice. In particular, the service does not:

• file anything with the USPTO or any other office, or act as correspondent or attorney of record;
• run clearance searches, monitor for infringement, or opine on whether a mark is registrable or confusingly similar;
• choose classes, draft identifications, or recommend how to respond to an office action;
• guarantee that any docket item is complete, correct, or the only deadline that applies.

Docket items are computed from public USPTO data and general rules; you must verify them against USPTO records and with counsel. USPTO deadlines that are missed are generally not extendable. You are responsible for meeting them.

4. Your data

Everything you put in the register, including uploaded documents, belongs to you. You grant us the license needed to store, process, back up, and display it to you and the people you invite, and for no other purpose. We do not sell it, use it for advertising, or use it to train models. You can export it at any time and delete it as described in the privacy policy. Where data protection law applies, the data processing agreement forms part of these terms.

5. Accounts and seats

Keep your credentials to yourself. You are responsible for what happens under your account and for the people you invite, including counsel seats. Tell us at once at [email protected] if you believe an account has been compromised.

6. Acceptable use

You agree not to:

• use the service to break the law or to infringe anyone’s rights;
• upload malware, or content you have no right to store;
• probe, scan, or test the service for vulnerabilities other than through the process on our security page;
• scrape the service, resell it, or use it to build a competing product;
• use the service to make automated requests to the USPTO beyond what the service itself does on your behalf;
• impersonate another person or organization, or misrepresent who owns a mark.

7. Plans and fees

Plans are priced by marks under management and billed monthly in advance through Stripe. You can change or cancel your plan from Settings; cancellation takes effect at the end of the billing period and we do not refund partial months. Plan limits are enforced; an import beyond the limit is refused and nothing else changes. We may change prices with 30 days’ notice by email. USPTO fees are never charged through Archecura; fee amounts shown in the service are for planning and must be verified at filing.

8. Availability and changes

We aim to keep the service available around the clock, but it is provided as is and we make no promise of uninterrupted operation. USPTO systems are outside our control and their availability affects syncing. We may change or retire features with reasonable notice; we will not remove your ability to export your data.

9. Our intellectual property

The service, its design, and its code are ours or our licensors’. These terms grant no rights in them beyond use of the service. Feedback you give us may be used without obligation.

10. Disclaimers and limitation of liability

To the fullest extent the law allows, the service is provided without warranties of any kind, including accuracy, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. We are not liable for any loss arising from a missed or misstated deadline, an abandoned, cancelled, or expired application or registration, or any action you take or fail to take in reliance on the service. Our total liability to you for any claim is limited to the fees you paid us in the twelve months before the claim arose. Nothing here limits liability that cannot be limited by law.

11. Termination

You can close your organization at any time. We can suspend or close an account that breaks these terms, with notice where practical. On closure your data stays recoverable for 14 days, then is purged, except invoices, which are kept for seven years.

12. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Texas and the United States, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Disputes are heard in the state or federal courts in Texas, and you consent to their jurisdiction.

13. Changes to these terms

We will post changes here with a new date and email account owners about material changes at least 14 days before they take effect. Continued use after that date is acceptance.
