1. Scope
These Terms of Use apply to StartupPatentHub.com and the free USPTO Response Period Calendar currently available on the site. Use of the site is subject to these Terms.
2. Free Reference Calendar
The calendar is a convenience date-calculation aid. It does not determine a legal deadline, filing requirement, extension availability, fee, or case-specific consequence, and it is not a docketing or monitoring service.
You must verify the applicable response period and filing date from the actual USPTO Office communication and current USPTO rules.
3. User Responsibility
You are responsible for your own docketing, deadline control, filing decisions, and verification of all dates and requirements. Do not rely on this site as the sole method of determining or tracking a legal deadline.
4. Acceptable Use
You may not attempt to interfere with the availability or security of the site, obtain unauthorized access to server resources, introduce malicious code, bypass security controls, or use automated activity in a way that materially disrupts the service.
5. Intellectual Property
StartupPatentHub branding, original site content, interface design, and software code are owned by StartupPatentHub or its licensors except where otherwise stated. These Terms do not transfer ownership rights.
6. Availability and Changes
The site and free utility may be changed, corrected, suspended, or discontinued. StartupPatentHub does not undertake to monitor a user’s matter or provide reminders or notices concerning any date.
7. Disclaimer of Warranties
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the site and free utility are provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis, without warranties that they will be uninterrupted, error-free, complete, or suitable for a particular legal or professional purpose.
8. Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, StartupPatentHub will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages arising from use of or reliance on the site or free utility, including losses associated with a missed or incorrectly calculated date. Nothing in these Terms excludes liability that cannot lawfully be excluded.
9. Changes to These Terms
These Terms may be updated as the site changes. The effective date above identifies the current published version.
