Terms of Service

Version 2026-08-20 · Last updated: 20 August 2026

Plain-English summary: RenewMark independently checks public USPTO records and sends informational alerts. It is not a law firm, filing service, or guarantee. Annual subscriptions renew at the displayed price unless you cancel online; the initial purchase has a 30-day money-back guarantee. The full terms below control.

1. Seller identity and acceptance

RenewMark is a trade name operated by Michael Dube, a sole proprietor (“RenewMark,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). By using the website or Service, creating a watch, or completing Stripe Checkout, you agree to these Terms and acknowledge our Privacy Policy. If you use the Service for a business or another owner, you represent that you have authority to bind that person or entity.

You must be at least 18 years old and legally capable of entering a contract to purchase a subscription. If you do not agree, do not use or purchase the Service.

2. The Service

RenewMark is an automated informational service that reads publicly available United States Patent and Trademark Office (“USPTO”) records, calculates commonly applicable federal trademark-maintenance windows, and sends reminders, status-change alerts, delivery-status records, and periodic heartbeats for eligible registered U.S. trademarks.

• Not a law firm or filing service. We do not provide legal advice, determine what you should file, prepare filings, represent you, or establish an attorney-client relationship.
• Independent. We are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or acting for the USPTO, Amazon, Etsy, any marketplace, or any government body.
• Public third-party data. USPTO records may be delayed, incomplete, unavailable, or changed after we read them. Email may be filtered, delayed, bounced, or suppressed.
• No similar-mark or infringement watch. Unless a product page expressly says otherwise, the Service watches only the official record for the mark you enrolled.

3. Your continuing responsibility

You remain solely responsible for preserving your rights, monitoring the official record, obtaining legal advice when appropriate, maintaining current USPTO correspondence information, selecting and preparing any filing, paying government fees, and filing on time. Before acting, verify every deadline, status, document, and fee directly through the USPTO. A RenewMark message is a backstop, not proof that no other action is required.

4. Account information and acceptable use

• Provide accurate information and maintain a monitored primary email address. A backup contact must confirm its own address before receiving alerts.
• Enroll only marks you own or are authorized to monitor. You are responsible for anyone using your secure account link.
• Do not evade security controls or rate limits; probe or disrupt the Service; introduce malicious code; scrape at scale; reverse engineer; resell access; impersonate another person; or use the Service unlawfully.
• Tell us promptly through Support if you suspect unauthorized account access or an incorrect result.

5. Annual subscriptions and automatic renewal

The Single-mark plan is $49 per 12-month period and the Portfolio plan is $129 per 12-month period, unless Stripe Checkout clearly displays a different promotional price before you authorize payment. Stripe processes the payment. Taxes, if legally required and shown at checkout, are additional.

Automatic renewal: your subscription renews automatically every 12 months at the then-disclosed annual price until canceled. The checkout page repeats the amount, renewal cadence, and cancellation method before payment and requires acceptance of these Terms. We retain the policy version and renewal wording associated with the completed checkout.

We send an advance renewal notice approximately 30 days before an uncanceled annual renewal to the primary subscriber email. If the annual price increases, we will provide clear advance notice before the increased renewal takes effect. Promotions normally apply only for the period stated.

Cancel online: use the direct cancellation control in your private account or the Stripe billing portal before the renewal date. You do not have to call, mail a letter, or contact support. Period-end cancellation stops the next charge and normally keeps the Service active through the current paid period. A cancellation confirmation is emailed and stored in the delivery log.

30-day initial-purchase guarantee: during the first 30 days after the initial purchase, the private account offers a separate “cancel and refund” control. If eligible, it ends the subscription and submits a full refund of the initial purchase to the original payment method. Bank processing time is outside our control. This guarantee does not limit any non-waivable refund right.

6. Service communications

Transactional messages—including baseline results, status alerts, statutory-deadline reminders, account links, billing notices, cancellation confirmations, and operational heartbeats—are part of the Service. Free reminder emails require inbox confirmation and include one-click unsubscribe. You may stop paid transactional messages by canceling the Service, but we may still send necessary billing, security, legal, or account-closing messages.

7. License and ownership

We grant you a limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use the Service for your internal personal or business purposes while these Terms apply. RenewMark’s software, design, compilation, original text, and branding are owned by us or our licensors. USPTO records and third-party names remain subject to their respective rights. Feedback may be used without restriction or payment, but we do not claim ownership of your trademarks.

8. Availability and changes to the Service

We may maintain, secure, improve, replace, or discontinue features. We may temporarily pause lookups, checkout, new watches, or alerts when official data, payment, email, or security checks fail; this fail-closed behavior is intended to avoid unsupported results. If we permanently discontinue a paid Service before the end of a paid period, we will provide an appropriate prorated refund unless the discontinuation results from your breach or circumstances for which a refund is not legally required.

9. Disclaimers

To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Service is provided “as is” and “as available,” without express or implied warranties, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, non-infringement, accuracy, availability, or uninterrupted operation. We do not warrant that data or calculations are complete, that a message will be delivered, that every relevant USPTO event will be identified, or that using the Service will preserve any trademark or marketplace benefit. Nothing in these Terms excludes a warranty that applicable law does not allow us to exclude.

10. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, RenewMark and its operators, contractors, and service providers will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or lost profits, revenue, goodwill, data, trademark rights, marketplace access, or business opportunities arising from the Service. Our aggregate liability arising from the Service will not exceed the greater of (a) the amount you paid RenewMark in the 12 months before the event giving rise to the claim or (b) $100.

These limits do not apply to liability that cannot lawfully be limited, or to our fraud, willful misconduct, gross negligence, or violation of a non-waivable consumer right. Some jurisdictions do not allow some exclusions, so those exclusions apply only to the extent permitted there.

11. Indemnity

To the extent permitted by law, you will defend and indemnify RenewMark from a third-party claim caused by your unlawful misuse of the Service, infringement through content you provide, or material breach of these Terms. We will give reasonably prompt notice, allow you to control the defense with qualified counsel, and may participate at our expense. You may not settle a claim in a way that admits fault by or imposes an obligation on RenewMark without our written consent. This section does not require a consumer to indemnify us for our own conduct.

12. Suspension and termination

We may restrict or suspend access when reasonably necessary to address abuse, security risk, nonpayment, illegality, or material breach. Where practical, we will give notice and an opportunity to cure. You may stop using free tools at any time and may cancel a paid subscription as described above. Sections that by their nature should survive—including payment records, ownership, disclaimers, liability limits, dispute terms, and legal-compliance retention—survive termination.

13. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms prospectively. We will post the new version and effective date. For a material change affecting an active paid subscription, we will provide reasonable advance notice by email or in the Service. A change does not retroactively rewrite the version recorded for a completed purchase. If you do not agree to a material change, you may cancel before it takes effect.

14. Governing law and disputes

Massachusetts law governs these Terms, without regard to conflict-of-laws rules, except that mandatory consumer law in your home jurisdiction continues to apply. Before filing a claim, please submit a Support request so both sides can try to resolve it informally. Where legally permitted, courts located in Massachusetts have non-exclusive jurisdiction. These Terms do not require arbitration and do not waive any right to bring or participate in a class action.

15. General terms

These Terms and the Privacy Policy are the complete agreement about the Service and replace earlier statements on the same subject. If a provision is unenforceable, it will be limited to the minimum extent necessary and the rest remains effective. A failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver. You may not assign these Terms without our consent; we may assign them with a merger, sale, reorganization, or transfer of the Service, subject to applicable law. Headings and the plain-English summary are for convenience; the full provisions control.
