5 . | Payment Term and Payment Method |
Upon receipt of your confirmation of engagement, we will issue and send an invoice together with the wiring instructions to you for your settlement. When you arrange the payment, please put our invoice number of account number in the message section and then send email a copy of the remittance receipt to us for our records. Because of the nature of service, we require full payment in advance. And once the service is commenced, no refund of service fee will be made. |
6 . | Refund Policy |
No refund of fees will be made after the commencement of services. For example, if we have conducted a pre-filing search and found an identical mark is already in the register, the application will not be processed, and the fees for the pre-filing search will not be refunded. If we have already filed an application and the application is refused or objected by CTMO or any other party, there will be no refund of fees. |
