How to publish an idea
To publish an idea you must be registered to the website.
To enter an idea are required, in addition to the title, a description and possibly pictures, drawings or videos associated to it, and the category it belongs to and keywords that will allow the contest to be found more easily.
You must indicate if it has particular characteristics (such as patents, working prototype, etc.) and the goal to be achieved by the publication (the purchase of the idea, the offer of participation in profits or otherwise. In the event of the purchase of the idea the ideator can provide a price or you can refer to the one requested by the buyer).
The ideas remain visible for a year or until removed by the ideator.
Ownership rights
The creator remains the sole owner of the idea, except from what agreed by the purchase contracts, collaboration or whatever concluded between the inventor and third parties, in which innovingbiz can’t and must not be considered as part of the contract or in any case obliged to any title to any performance. The negotiation of such autonomous agreements can’t be made using the website.
The User is required to publish ideas of which he/she’s the owner of all rights, including intellectual and industrial property rights.
Any information provided by the User must be truthful and not potentially liable to mislead any user of the website on the identity or quality of the User and/or the Idea.
It should be pointed out that, since the idea can potentially be seen by anyone who accesses the website, if it is not patented or copyrighted, the only way to protect it is to give not too detailed information though enough to describe it and make it attractive. More information can then be given to the person who will contact the creator directly.
Definition of “contest”
With contest it’s intended:
– A problem that can’t be solved, for which a particular process or tool is needed, which does not exist or the existence is not known.
– A creative work for your company, your website, your home
– Hints, ideas that would be useful to your business or yourself.
How to publish a contest
To participate in a contest you must be registered to the website.
To enter a contest are required, in addition to the title, a description and possibly pictures, drawings or videos associated to it, and the category it belongs to and keywords that will allow the contest to be found more easily.
A deadline must be provided, during which time answers will be accepted, and shorter than one year.
You must indicate if the answer must meet certain characteristics (such as patents, working prototype, etc.) and the goal to be achieved by the publication (the purchase of the idea, the offer of participation in profits or otherwise. In the event of the purchase of one or more ideas that meet the requirements, a price can be provided or you can refer to the one requested by the inventor).
The contest can be launched either anonymously (will be visible only the chosen username) or not.
To make the contest interesting, involving a larger number of participants and actually get what is required, in addition to careful assessment of what is offered as a reward, it must be described in as much detail as possible what the winner will get. It must be made explicit the need or requirement that needs to be satisfied, the goal you want to achieve, and in the case of a creative work, it’s very important to indicate the style you are interested in and features that it shouldn’t have (also by means of examples).
We remember that every country has specific contest prize rules. It is not the responsibility of Innovingbiz, but of those who publish the contest evaluate in advance whether or not the contest complies with the regulations of the country of reference.
Access to answers
The visualization of the answers to the contest will be granted only to those who publish the contest.
The user who starts the contest, through the services offered by the website, can receive different ideas as response.
In order to permit assessment of the ideas and not to jeopardize a possible development of them, the person who answers the contest undertakes, with the acceptance of the “Terms and conditions”, not to make the idea public, not to communicate, disseminate or exploit it economically, limited to the period in which the user who launched the contest has the right to examine it, amounting to 30 days, from the day of expiry of the contest launched (deadline for the introduction of ideas in response to contest on the website).
After that date and without the user who launched the contest having expressed interest in the answer and contacting the creator, the latter will be dissolved by the aforementioned constraint and will therefore be free to propose the idea in response to other contest or to publish it as an idea, to spread it, communicate it or exploit it economically outside of the website.
Likewise, if the user that launches the contest considers idea of interest and want to contact the creator, innovingbiz will provide contact information.
Those who create the contest and the creator may agree on specific purchase contracts independently, partnership or other in which innovingbiz can’t and must not be considered a party to the contract or otherwise obligated in any way to any performance. The negotiation of such autonomous agreements can’t be made using the website.
In any case, please note that the publisher of the contest is obliged to respect the obligations of non-disclosure of the Idea.
Those who launch the contest can agree different times for the evaluation of the ideas and the use of the same, giving a detailed description in the contest.
Nondisclosure agreement idea
The user who launches the contest will not disclose to third parties or exploit economically the Idea of which he has knowledge thanks to innovingbiz.
The ideas have to be considered ownership of the sole innovator and can’t be economically exploited, communicated, distributed, published, transmitted, used or reproduced by those who launched the contest.
It is expressly subject to the user’s ability to grant different specific economic exploitation regimes, communication, dissemination, publication, transmission and use of the Idea directly with the innovator, by separate contracts in which innovingbiz can’t and must not be considered part of, or other obligation of any kind to any performance.
Evaluation and contact
If those launching the contest are interested in one or more ideas they received in response, they can contact the creator to get more information.
Negotiations will take place with no third party directly involved between the creator and who launched the contest. Innovingbiz will not be the intermediary.
The user who launches the contest declares he/she’s aware that the ideas could also be amateur, and therefore may also refer to non-professional quality material and must take all necessary precautions in using them. We do not guarantee that those who enter the contest have the qualification (degree, registration, permits, etc ..) to submit appropriate solutions to the demands. Therefore it’ll be the user’s responsibility to evaluate in advance whether or not to launch the contest, or whether to verify independently after receiving the proposals the skills of the creator.
Answers to contests
To respond to contests, the same rules apply for the inclusion of an idea.
In this case, the contact information will be visible only to those who launched the contest. If the idea is not chosen by those who launched the contest, the creator can choose to make it visible to everyone by posting it as an idea.
It is possible for those who publish the contest to receive responses only through other channels specifically indicated (eg email address, web site, …). In these cases, those who respond will have to comply with what is stated in the regulation of the single contest.
