Terms of Service

Last updated: October 1, 2026

1. What BidSignal is

BidSignal is a monitoring service. We scan public USPTO trademark filings every day and send subscribers a plain-English weekly alert when a new filing looks similar to a brand on their watch list. We are not a law firm.

2. Subscription and billing

• The service costs $99 per year, billed yearly in advance to your payment method via our payment processor, Stripe.
• You can cancel anytime — in one click, with no phone calls or retention process. Cancellation takes effect at the end of your current billing year; your alerts continue until then.
• No setup fees. No hidden charges.
• Your subscription renews yearly at $99 until you cancel. We will never enroll you in another product without your explicit opt-in.
• To cancel, use the subscription management link provided after checkout, or email hello@bidsignalwatch.com and we will cancel it for you.
• 30-day money-back guarantee: if you cancel within 30 days of subscribing, email hello@bidsignalwatch.com and we will refund you in full.
• If a payment fails, we may pause your alerts until billing is resolved.

3. Not legal advice

• Everything we send — including alert emails, dashboard content, and filing analyses — is informational only. It is not legal advice, and using the service does not create an attorney–client relationship. We are not your attorney.
• Threat scores, verdicts, and deadline dates are automated estimates, not legal conclusions. An "all clear" result is not a guarantee that no conflicting filing exists.
• We do not file oppositions, office action responses, or trademark applications on your behalf. Before acting on any deadline or filing decision, consult a licensed trademark attorney.

4. Data sources and accuracy

Alerts are based on public USPTO records and are provided on a best-efforts basis. We may miss filings, data may be delayed or change after we show it, and alert emails may not reach you (for example, because of spam filters). Deadline tracking is provided as a courtesy only — you are solely responsible for knowing and meeting your own legal deadlines. Always verify details on the USPTO's official site before acting.

5. Your responsibilities

• You must be at least 18 years old to subscribe.
• Give us accurate brand names and contact details so your alerts match correctly.
• You are solely responsible for meeting your own legal deadlines. Do not rely solely on our alerts.
• Use alerts for your own business purposes. Don't resell, republish, or systematically redistribute alert content.
• Don't misuse the service or attempt to disrupt it.

6. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless BidSignal against any third-party claims, damages, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising from your use or misuse of the service or your violation of these terms.

7. Changes

We may update features or these terms. We will post changes here; material changes to billing will be communicated by email before they take effect. Continued use of the service after changes take effect means you accept the updated terms.

8. Disclaimers and limitation of liability

The service is provided "as is" and "as available," without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, reliability, and non-infringement.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, we are not liable for any indirect, incidental, consequential, special, or punitive damages, or for lost profits, lost revenue, or loss of trademark rights — even if we were advised of their possibility.

Our total liability for any claim is limited to the fees you paid in the 12 months before the claim arose. In particular, we are not liable for missed filings, missed opposition deadlines, or decisions you make based on alert content.

9. Governing law and disputes

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of New York, without regard to conflict-of-law rules.

Any dispute arising from these terms or the service will be heard exclusively in the state or federal courts located in New York, New York. You consent to personal jurisdiction there and waive any objection to venue.

10. General

• If any provision of these terms is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions continue in full effect.
• These terms are provided in multiple languages for convenience. If there is a conflict, the English version controls.
• These terms are the entire agreement between you and BidSignal regarding the service.
