LEGAL INFORMATION
Terms & Conditions
These Terms & Conditions govern your use of the Worldmarx website and the services provided through it.
1. Introduction
These Terms & Conditions apply to your use of the Worldmarx website and to services requested through the website.
Worldmarx provides intellectual property related services, including support relating to trademark, copyright, patent and design matters. By accessing or using the website, you agree to comply with these Terms & Conditions.
2. Our Services
Worldmarx provides professional support in relation to intellectual property matters. The specific services available through the website may vary by jurisdiction, service type and applicable requirements.
The scope of any service will depend on the service selected and the information provided by the client.
3. No Guarantee of Registration
Submitting an application or using a Worldmarx service does not guarantee that a trademark, patent, design, copyright or other intellectual property right will be registered, granted or maintained.
Applications are subject to examination, objections, opposition, official requirements and decisions made by the relevant intellectual property authority.
Worldmarx cannot guarantee the outcome, processing time or acceptance of an application.
4. Information Provided by You
You are responsible for providing accurate, complete and current information when requesting our services.
You should ensure that any information, documents, representations or instructions supplied to Worldmarx are accurate and that you have the necessary authority to provide them.
Delays or problems caused by incomplete, inaccurate or late information may affect the provision of our services.
5. Client Responsibilities
You are responsible for reviewing information provided to you and for responding to requests for information or instructions within the required timeframe.
Where an intellectual property authority imposes a deadline, you remain responsible for providing any required instructions and information in sufficient time for the relevant action to be considered.
6. Fees and Payments
The fees displayed on the Worldmarx website may include professional service fees, official fees and applicable taxes, depending on the service and jurisdiction.
The applicable price will be communicated or displayed before the relevant service is confirmed.
Official fees may be determined by the relevant intellectual property authority and may change from time to time.
Where additional work, official fees, classes, government charges or other costs arise outside the original service scope, these may be payable separately where applicable.
7. Cancellations and Refunds
Cancellation and refund arrangements may depend on the service requested, the stage at which the service is cancelled and whether work or official filing activity has already been undertaken.
Any applicable refund terms will be communicated as part of the relevant service or order process.
Official fees or third-party charges may be non-refundable where the relevant authority or provider does not permit a refund.
8. Intellectual Property
Unless otherwise stated, the Worldmarx website, including its content, branding, design, graphics, text and other materials, is owned by or licensed to Worldmarx or the relevant rights holder.
You may not reproduce, modify, distribute, republish or commercially exploit website content without appropriate permission, except where permitted by applicable law.
Requests should be made using the contact details provided below. We may need to verify your identity before responding to certain requests.
9. Trademark Searches and Third-Party Information
Where Worldmarx provides trademark search or related information, results may be based on information obtained from official registers, databases or other third-party sources.
Search results are provided for the purpose of the requested service and should not be treated as a guarantee that a mark is available for registration or that no conflicting rights exist.
The completeness, accuracy and availability of third-party data may depend on the relevant source.
10. Third-Party Services
The Worldmarx website may use third-party services, platforms, payment providers, hosting providers, analytics services, intellectual property databases or other external services.
Where appropriate, your use of such services may also be subject to the terms and policies of the relevant third party.
11. Website Availability
We aim to keep the Worldmarx website available and functioning properly, but we do not guarantee that the website will always be available, uninterrupted or free from errors.
We may temporarily suspend, modify or restrict parts of the website for maintenance, security, updates or other operational reasons.

To the extent permitted by applicable law, Worldmarx will not be responsible for losses arising from circumstances outside our reasonable control, including delays, interruptions, failures of third-party systems, changes to official requirements or decisions made by intellectual property authorities.
Nothing in these Terms & Conditions is intended to exclude or limit liability where such exclusion or limitation is not permitted by law.
13. Confidentiality
We will handle information provided to us in accordance with our Privacy Policy and any applicable professional or legal obligations.
You should provide only information reasonably necessary for the requested service and follow any confidentiality or document-handling instructions provided during the service process.
