Idea Submission Policy
We at Happy Tenders are pleased to hear from our customers and welcome their comments regarding our products and services. Unfortunately, however, our company policy does not allow Happy Tenders, or any of its subsidiary companies, to accept or consider creative ideas, suggestions, or materials other than those that we have specifically requested.
It is the intent of this policy to avoid the possibility of future misunderstandings when projects developed by our professional staff might seem to others to be similar to their own creative work. Please do not send any unsolicited original creative materials such as ideas, concepts, or artwork. While we do value their feedback on our services and products, we request that they be specific in their comments on those services and products, and not submit any creative ideas, suggestions, or materials (unless specifically requested by us).
If, through participation in certain activities, they send any material (e.g., postings to message boards, contests, etc.) or, despite our policy, they send us unsolicited creative suggestions, ideas, notes, drawings, concepts, or other information (collectively, the “Submissions”), the Submissions shall be deemed, and shall remain, our property. None of the Submissions shall be subject to any obligation of confidentiality on our part and we shall not be liable for any use or disclosure of any Submissions. Without limitation of the foregoing, we shall exclusively own all now-known or hereafter existing rights to the Submissions for any purpose whatsoever, commercial or otherwise, without compensation to the provider of the Submissions or any other person or entity.
