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 re-mittance 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.
We accept cash, HKD check, TT and credit card through Paypal. An extra handling fee of 5% will be charged if paid by Paypal. If a China or Taiwan Value-Added Tax invoice is required, 7.5% or 5% additional charge will be incurred.

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 al-ready filed an application and the application is refused or objected by DPMA or any other party, there will be no refund of fees.
If you have prepaid our fees for all three stages of an application and the search result indicates that an identical mark is already in the register, the application will not be processed. The fees for the non-rendered services, i.e., filing for application and issuing of certificate of registration, will be refunded after deducting the incurred bank wiring charges.
