Trademark Policy
Permission is Required to Use Our Trademarks
LawyerDoneDeal Corp.’s (“LDD’s”) trademarks may only be used with LDD’s written permission, and then only to the extent of and within the scope of the permission granted. Any use of an LDD trademark that does not comply with such permission and this policy is not authorized. We require permission because LDD provides services to lawyers, mortgage providers, builders, developers, banks, insurance companies and others, all of which operate in an environment of high trust and accountability. Therefore we must protect both that trust in the LDD name and the viability of the LDD platform for all that rely on it. We also believe that it is important to avoid confusion that can arise when the LDD name and trademarks are used so as to create the false impression of an LDD connection or endorsement.
