The Trademark Company’ Services
The Trademark Company provides online legal information to give visitors a general understanding of the law, a proprietary software solution for individuals who wish to assemble and file their own legal documents, as well as access to independent attorneys through our various prepaid legal service plans. The Site includes general information on commonly encountered legal issues. The Trademark Company’ services also include a review of your answers for completeness, spelling, and for internal consistency of names, addresses and the like. Consistent with the scrivener rule, at no time do we review your answers for legal sufficiency, draw legal conclusions, provide legal advice, opinions or recommendations about your legal rights, remedies, defenses, options, selection of forms, or strategies, or apply the law to the facts of your particular situation. The Trademark Company is not a law firm and may not perform services performed by an attorney. The Trademark Company, its services, and its forms or templates are not a substitute for the advice or services of an attorney.
The Trademark Company endeavors to keep its legal documents accurate, current and up-to-date. However, because the law changes rapidly, The Trademark Company cannot guarantee that all of the information on the Site or Applications is completely current. The law is different from jurisdiction to jurisdiction, and may be subject to interpretation by different courts. The law is a personal matter, and no general information or legal tool like the kind The Trademark Company provides can fit every circumstance. Furthermore, the legal information contained on the Site and Applications is not legal advice and is not guaranteed to be correct, complete or up-to-date. Therefore, if you need legal advice for your specific problem, or if your specific problem is too complex to be addressed by our tools, you should consult a licensed attorney in your area.
This Site and Applications are not intended to create any attorney-customer relationship, and your use of The Trademark Company does not and will not create an attorney-customer relationship between you and The Trademark Company . Instead, you are and will be representing yourself in any legal matter you undertake through The Trademark Company’ legal document service.
