Unless expressly stated otherwise herein, any information submitted by you through this Site shall be deemed non-confidential and non-proprietary.

Unauthorized idea submissions
Star Knowledge does not accept unauthorized idea submissions outside of formalized business relationships. To protect the interests of our customers and ourselves, we must treat the issue of such submissions with great care. Importantly, without a clear business relationship, Star Knowledge cannot and does not treat any such submissions in confidence. Accordingly, please do not communicate unauthorized idea submissions to Star Knowledge through this Site. Any ideas disclosed to Star Knowledge outside a pre-existing and documented confidential business relationship are not confidential and Star Knowledge may, therefore, develop, use and freely disclose or publish similar ideas without compensating you or accounting to you.
Star Knowledge will make every reasonable effort to return or destroy any unauthorized idea submissions without detailed review of them. However, if a review is necessary in Star Knowledge’s sole discretion, it will be with the understanding that Star Knowledge assumes no obligation to protect the confidentiality of your idea or compensate you for its disclosure or use. By submitting an idea or other detailed submission to Star Knowledge through this Site, you agree to be bound by the terms of this stated policy.

Star Knowledge will remove any posted submission that infringes the copyright or other intellectual property right of any person under U.S. law upon receipt of such a statement (or any statement in conformance with 17 U.S.C. 512(c)(3)). U.S. law provides significant penalties for submitting such a statement falsely.
Under appropriate circumstances, persons who repeatedly submit infringing or unlawful material will be prohibited from posting further submissions.
