1. THE PARTIES / EFFECTIVE DATE. This Agreement is made between Cohn Legal, PLLC (“Attorney“) and You (“Client“) and is effective as of the latest date of signing by Client.
2. LEGAL SERVICES PROVIDED,RESPONSIBILITIES OF ATTORNEY AND CLIENT. The Legal Services to be provided by Attorney to Client are the preparation and filing of Client’s Copyright application, and responding to any “Procedural“ Office Actions issued by the Copyright which require thirty (30) minutes of time or less to answer (“Legal Services“). All additional services, namely responding to Substantive objections including but not limited to, “Work lacks the minimum level of creative authorship; work lacks human authorship, work is not fixed in a tangible medium of expression etc.“ will be billed according to a per project basis. These additional charges will be discussed with the Client before Attorney commences work. Client will be cooperative and responsive, providing necessary information and monies for all legal fees and costs. Client will also notify Attorney of any changes to Client’s Address and Contact information. Client understands that Attorney cannot guarantee the admission of the Copyright to the Copyright Office and that the application may result in denial of the Client’s Copyright.
3. FEE. The Flat Fee for the Legal Services agreed to by the Attorney and Client is $650.00 USD (the “Flat Fee“) per Copyright application. The rules of professional conduct for attorneys in the State of New York in the United States of America require that unearned clients fees advanced by clients to attorneys be kept in a separate “trust' account until the fees are earned and/or the representation terminated by either party. The Legal Services are completed and the Flat Fee is earned when Attorney completes a draft Copyright application in preparation of the final filing with the Copyright Office. Client IS NOT entitled to partial refund if the Client terminates this agreement prior to the completion of Attorney completing the Legal Services.
4. COSTS AND EXPENSES. The US Government fee is either $65.00 or $85.00 per Copyright Application. It is conceivable that we'll be able to file your Copyright under the $65.00 fee schedule instead of the more standard $85.00 application. Should we be required to use the $65.00 application, we will refund you the difference of $20.00. Finally, our fees for any other legal services to be performed in connection with the Copyright matter, such as responding to potential Objections from the Copyright Office, will be determined on a “Per-Project Basis”. Hopefully, we will not need to respond to any such Objections but if we do, we will of course discuss these matters with you in advance before you are billed for any additional work.
5. WORK PRODUCT: The writings, notes, memoranda, reports of conversations, research and confidential materials which we prepare will be maintained in strict confidence and under the provisions of the attorney-client privilege.
6. TERMINATION: As is appropriate in any professional relationship, You may terminate our engagement at any time upon reasonable notice to us, and we retain the right to terminate this agreement as well. In the event that our representation is terminated, you agree to pay all bills thereafter rendered covering expenses incurred prior to the termination.
7. ENTIRE AGREEMENT / SEVERABILITY. This Agreement contains the entire agreement of the Parties. No other agreement, statement, or promise made on or before the effective date of this Agreement will be binding on the Parties. If any provision of this Agreement is held by a court or other tribunal of competent jurisdiction, in whole or in part, to be unenforceable for any reason, the remainder of that provision and of the entire Agreement will be severable and remain in effect.
8. CLIENT ASSENT.While we agree to represent you to the best of our ability, you must understand that no results can be guaranteed, and we do not warrant that your Copyright will necessarily be registered by the Copyright Office. By Submitting payment, Client agrees to the terms of this agreement.
