Without a declaration of use, the registration lapses by operation of law; it may also lapse if the trademark is not used for three consecutive years.

  4. 04Are the contractual penalties payable by you greater than the value of your principal obligation?
  5. 05Does it renew automatically, with a penalty if you leave?
  6. 06Does it require you to attend court or arbitration in another city or country?
  7. 07Does it impose exclusivity or a non-compete obligation without any time or territorial limit?
  8. 08Did you sign blank promissory notes or personally become a guarantor or jointly and severally liable obligor?

A contract cannot leave its validity or performance to the discretion of only one party, and a contractual penalty cannot exceed the value of the principal obligation. In consumer contracts, unfair terms are void.
