Engagement Terms

1. No attorney-client relationship on initial contact

Submitting a contact form, requesting a consultation, purchasing a monitoring plan, or subscribing to the Trademark Database API does not create an attorney-client relationship. An attorney-client relationship is established only upon execution of a written engagement agreement signed by both parties.

2. Scope of monitoring services

Goalie IP's monitoring services are designed to identify potential intellectual property conflicts and infringement. Our reports flag possible issues for client review. Reports do not constitute legal opinions on infringement, validity, or enforceability unless explicitly stated in writing.

Monitoring coverage is comprehensive but not exhaustive. No monitoring service can guarantee detection of all infringements across all platforms and jurisdictions.

The Trademark Database API is a separate data product and is not a monitoring service. API subscribers receive programmatic access to publicly available USPTO trademark records only. API access does not include attorney review, monitoring reports, infringement analysis, or enforcement assistance. Those services require a separate monitoring engagement.

4. Confidentiality

Information you share with Goalie IP in connection with a monitoring engagement is held in confidence. We do not share client information with third parties except as required by law or with client consent.

API subscribers are not subject to the monitoring engagement confidentiality provisions of this section unless they separately engage monitoring services. Queries submitted through the API are logged for quota enforcement and abuse detection purposes as described in our Privacy Policy.

5. Limitation of liability

Goalie IP's liability arising from any monitoring engagement is limited to the fees paid for that engagement. We are not liable for any consequential, incidental, or punitive damages arising from reliance on our reports.

6. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the state of North Dakota, Goalie IP Inc.'s principal place of business.
