1. Introduction

Welcome to Afenio ("the Platform"), operated by EPB AB ("we," "us," or "our"). These Terms & conditions govern your use of our AI-powered intellectual property (IP) registration services. By accessing or using the Platform, you agree to these terms.

In the future, we may introduce additional services, including prescription services related to IP registration. If such services are introduced, relevant terms will be added accordingly.

2. Scope of Services

The Platform provides AI-assisted support for trademark and design registration preparation.

AI-generated insights are for informational purposes only and do not constitute legal advice.

Users may receive feedback regarding the distinctiveness of their suggested brand name or other registration-related insights.

Every application undergoes final review by a human expert before submission.

Users are responsible for verifying the accuracy of their application details before submission.

3. User Responsibilities

Users must provide accurate and complete information.

The Platform does not guarantee the approval of any IP application submitted through its services.

Users must ensure compliance with applicable intellectual property laws.

4. Fees & Payment

Fees for trademark and design registration services are displayed at checkout.

Payments cover both AI assistance and final human expert review.

All payments are non-refundable unless otherwise required by law.

Official fees to registration offices (e.g., EUIPO) and other legal or administrative fees are not included in the service fee and are charged separately.

Additional fees may apply where a subcontractor is involved (e.g., responding to an office action or filing an opposition upon customer request).

Fees may be adjusted annually based on inflation, business conditions, and official registration fee changes.

We may use third-party payment processors for transactions.

5. AI Transparency & Limitation of Liability

The Platform and its services are provided "as is" without warranties of any kind, express or implied.

AI-generated recommendations do not replace professional legal judgment.

Users may receive feedback regarding the likelihood of registration success, but the final decision rests with the relevant IP authority.

Every submission is reviewed by a human expert before final filing.

The Platform assumes no liability for errors, rejections, or omissions after submission to official authorities (e.g., EUIPO).

Users have the right to challenge or request clarification regarding AI-generated suggestions before final review.

6. Confidentiality & Data Sharing

We undertake to protect customer-provided information and will not disclose it to unauthorized third parties.

If the customer agrees to involve external advisors or service providers, the necessary information may be shared with them to complete the service.

The Platform may collaborate with trusted subcontractors for registration services where required.

7. Intellectual Property Rights

Copyright and all intellectual property rights related to the documents, insights, and other work results created by the Platform remain exclusively owned by us to the extent reasonably applicable.

Users may use such documents solely for the purposes for which they were created but may not distribute, resell, or use them for commercial purposes without our explicit consent.

8. Dispute Resolution

These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of Sweden.

Any disputes arising from these Terms shall be settled by the Stockholm District Court.

9. Changes to Terms

We reserve the right to update these Terms & conditions at any time.

Users will be notified of significant changes via email or a notice on the Platform.
