Engagement Agreement
1. PARTIES / EFFECTIVE DATE. This Agreement is made between The Law Firm of Sausser & Spurr, LLC (“Attorney”) and You (“Client”). The effective date shall be the date of the latest signed Engagement Agreement. This Agreement will not be fully-executed unless and until written acceptance is confirmed via email to Client from Attorney.

2. SCOPE OF LEGAL SERVICES PROVIDED. This Engagement Agreement is for the purposes of Client hiring Attorney for the services defined as Trademark Monitoring and Policing. Trademark Monitoring and Policing service is defined to include the following: The legal services provided by Attorney to Client will include monitoring trademark filings with the United States Patent and Trademark Office to identify any potential filings that may infringe on your trademark rights, reviewing Client’s trademark use for legal compliance, delivering a quarterly report by email to inform Client of any 3rd party uses and advise as to any action Client may take, an annual review of any infringing use by all third parties, and notices to the client when any renewal filings are due (“Legal Services”). Renewal filings include filings under sections 8(b), 9(a), and 15 of the Lanham Act. All other services will incur an additional charge. Attorney will provide the Legal Services as well as respond promptly to Client’s communications. Client understands that registered trademarks require maintenance. The filing of maintenance documents, such as section 8, 9, and 15 maintenance filings, are not handled by the Attorney under this Agreement. The legal fees and government fees to file said documents are in addition to the legal fee stated in this Agreement.

3. CLIENT’S PROMISE. Client agrees to work together with Attorney throughout the entire representation, to be available when requested by Attorney, to communicate with the Attorney, to pay all fees and costs associated with the representation in a timely manner, and to keep Attorney aware of Client’s current contact information, including street address, telephone number(s), and email address at all times. Client further understands Attorney is not responsible for any consequences resulting from Client’s breach of these promises.

4. LEGAL FEE. In accordance with the Rules of Professional Conduct of South Carolina, the fee associated with this agreement of three-hundred and ninety dollars ($390.00 USD) per year will be placed in an interest on lawyer’s trust account (IOLTA) and earned by Attorney at periodic intervals. Client will be charged the annual $390.00 legal fee automatically, unless Client otherwise notifies Attorney in writing to discontinue the Legal Services. Client may be entitled to a refund of all or a portion of the fee if the agreed upon Legal Services are not provided. Attorney will return to Client any unearned portion of the fee. In the first year of this Agreement, one-fifth (1/5) or seventy-eight dollars ($78.00 USD) of the legal fee is earned by Attorney after the initial consultation. Thereafter, the remaining portion of the fee will be earned in four separate installments of $78.00, each being paid to Attorney upon delivery to Client by email of the quarterly report. The annual Legal Services are complete once Attorney emails the last quarterly report. After the first year, Attorney will earn the fee on a quarterly basis after delivery by email of each quarterly report to Client. Attorney may be entitled to partial payment should Client terminate the relationship prior to completion of the Legal Services.

5. GOVERNMENT FEES.No Government fees are anticipated with this agreement. However, should government fees arise, Client understands such fees are in addition to the above stated legal fees.

If Client chooses to terminate this Agreement, Client must provide reasonable notice to Attorney and agrees to cover the expenses incurred prior to the termination, including but not limited to, payment for Attorney’s partially completed Legal Services. Should Client terminate the relationship prior to completing the Legal Services, Attorney has the option to charge an hourly fee of $200/hr. on the services provided prior to termination up to the flat fee rate.

8. SEVERANCE. In the event that one or more of the provisions of this Agreement shall be found by a court of law to be unenforceable, illegal or invalid, it shall not affect any other provisions of this Agreement, and this Agreement shall be construed as if the provision found to be unenforceable, illegal or invalid had never been contained in this Agreement.

This Agreement supersedes any prior or contemporaneous communications, representations or agreements between Attorney and Client and constitutes the complete and final agreement between the parties relating to this Agreement, this website or any services rendered by Attorney to Client. This Agreement contains the entire agreement of the parties. No other agreements, statements, or promises made on or before the effective date of this Agreement will be binding on the parties. This Agreement, and all terms herein, may only be modified by subsequent written agreement signed by both parties.

After confirmation that no conflict exists Attorney will send Client the fully executed Agreement via email. All the notes, writings, reports, research, and communications related to this matter will be maintained in strict confidence and are protected under the provisions of the Attorney-Client privilege.
