Terms of Service

1. What Spotsworth does

Spotsworth reads the United States Patent and Trademark Office's public data on new trademark applications and publications, compares those filings with the marks you add, uses automated tools (including AI models) to assess how similar they are, and emails you the matches along with the opposition deadline we calculate.

2. Spotsworth is not legal advice

Spotsworth is not a law firm, and using it does not create an attorney–client relationship. Matches, risk ratings and explanations are automated assessments of similarity. They are not legal opinions or findings of infringement, and we never tell you whether to oppose a filing. Decisions about your trademarks are yours; a trademark attorney can advise you on them.

3. No guarantee of completeness or accuracy

We work from USPTO public data, which can be late, incomplete or wrong. Our automated search can miss similar filings and can flag filings that turn out not to matter. Deadlines are our own calculation, moved past weekends and federal holidays, and can differ from the official one, for example after an unscheduled USPTO closure. Confirm any deadline on the USPTO's TTABVUE system before relying on it. Spotsworth does not replace a full clearance search.

4. Your account

• You must be at least 18 and able to enter into a binding agreement.
• Use an email address you control. Alerts go to it, so we confirm it before you can sign in.
• Keep your password to yourself. You are responsible for what happens under your account.

5. Acceptable use

You agree not to:

• access or try to access another customer's account or data;
• probe, disrupt or overload the service, or get around its limits;
• scrape, bulk-download or resell the service, its alerts or its data;
• use the service to harass, threaten or defame anyone, including the owners of the filings we report;
• use the service in breach of any law or of the USPTO's terms for its data.

6. Paid plans

If you subscribe to a paid plan, you agree to pay the fees shown when you subscribe. Fees are charged in advance through our payment processor and renew automatically until you cancel. You can cancel at any time; cancellation takes effect at the end of the period you have paid for. Fees are non-refundable except where the law requires otherwise. We may change prices, and will tell you before a change applies to your next renewal.

7. USPTO data

Filing information comes from USPTO public records. Spotsworth is not affiliated with or endorsed by the USPTO, and our alerts are our own assessment, not official notices. Trademarks shown in the service belong to their owners.

8. Our content

The Spotsworth name, logo, illustrations, website and software are owned by us and protected by law. You may use the alerts we send you for your own business purposes.

9. Ending your use

You can stop watching a mark or delete your account at any time from your dashboard. We may suspend or close an account that breaks these terms or puts the service or other customers at risk. Sections 2, 3 and 10 to 13 continue to apply after your account ends.

10. Disclaimer of warranties

The service is provided “as is” and “as available”. To the fullest extent the law allows, we disclaim all warranties, express or implied, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement and accuracy, and any warranty that the service will be uninterrupted, timely or error-free.

11. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent the law allows, we are not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, or for lost profits, revenue, goodwill, trademark rights or business opportunities, including any loss that results from a missed, late or inaccurate alert or deadline. Our total liability for all claims relating to the service is limited to the greater of the amount you paid us in the 12 months before the claim arose, or US$50.

12. Indemnity

You agree to indemnify us against claims, losses and costs, including reasonable legal fees, that arise from your misuse of the service or your breach of these terms.

13. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of California and applicable United States federal law, without regard to conflict-of-laws rules.

14. Changes to these terms

We may update these terms. The date at the top shows the latest version. If a change is significant, we will tell you by email or in the app before it takes effect. Continuing to use Spotsworth after that means you accept the updated terms.

15. Who we are

Spotsworth is owned and operated by EzPacking, Inc. (“we”, “us”). How we handle your information is described in our Privacy Policy.
