Terms of Service

The agreement between ClaimGuard and the people who use it. Plain English where we can manage it; the legal bits where we have to.

Effective date: July 18, 2026

Not legal advice. ClaimGuard monitors public patent and trademark filings and surfaces likely overlaps with your product. The output is a triage signal, not an opinion from a licensed attorney. Always confirm any flagged risk with qualified counsel before you act on it.

1. Acceptance of Terms

By creating an account, accessing the dashboard, or otherwise using ClaimGuard, you agree to these Terms of Service. If you do not agree, do not use the service. We may update these terms from time to time; the effective date above is the authoritative version, and continued use after a change constitutes acceptance.

2. Service Description

ClaimGuard is a software-as-a-service platform that monitors newly published patent and trademark filings from public databases (including USPTO and EPO), cross-references them against the product description and roadmap items you provide, and delivers ranked alerts with plain-language risk summaries. We do not file or prosecute applications on your behalf.

3. Account & Payment

You are responsible for keeping your login credentials secure and for all activity that occurs under your account. Paid plans are billed monthly in advance via Stripe; you may cancel at any time and retain access through the end of the current billing period. Refunds are issued only where required by applicable law.

4. Acceptable Use

You agree not to (a) provide false or misleading product or roadmap information in a way that materially degrades the quality of your own alerts, (b) attempt to reverse-engineer, resell, or scrape the service for commercial redistribution, (c) use the service to harass, infringe, or surveil third parties, or (d) exceed reasonable usage thresholds designed to protect all customers from abuse.

5. Intellectual Property

Between us: ClaimGuard, its name, logo, product UI, and underlying software are owned by us and protected by intellectual-property law. Between us and you: your product descriptions, roadmap items, and alert preferences remain yours. You grant us a limited license to use that input solely to operate the service for your account.

6. Confidentiality

The roadmap items and product descriptions you provide are treated as confidential. We access them only to deliver the service to you, do not use them to train shared models, and do not disclose them to third parties except as required to operate the service (e.g. with our hosting provider under a confidentiality obligation) or as required by law.

7. Disclaimers

ClaimGuard is a monitoring and triage tool. The output we produce — risk scores, summaries, and alerts — is generated from public data and probabilistic matching and is not legal advice. A flagged overlap does not mean infringement has occurred, and a clean result does not mean your product is clear. Always involve a licensed attorney before acting on a flagged risk.

8. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, the service is provided "as is" without warranties of any kind, and our aggregate liability for any claim arising out of or relating to the service will not exceed the fees you paid us in the twelve months preceding the claim. We are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages.

9. Termination

You may terminate your account at any time from the dashboard. We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these terms or that pose a security risk, with or without notice. On termination, we delete your account data in accordance with the Privacy Policy.

10. Changes to These Terms

We will post material changes here and, where appropriate, notify active accounts by email at least 14 days before the change takes effect. The effective date at the top of this page reflects the version in force.
