Unsolicited Submission Policy
Summary of This Policy
Squares 9 does not accept unsolicited ideas or submissions under any expectation of confidentiality, review, or compensation. Any materials submitted to Squares 9 become the property of the company and may be used without restriction or obligation.
This policy exists to protect both the individual submitting information and Squares 9 from misunderstandings related to ownership, use, or compensation. Individuals should avoid submitting confidential or proprietary information to the company.
The Policy
Squares 9 operates within a highly innovative and competitive environment across social media, digital systems, and platform development. The company actively develops its own ideas, technologies, and strategies through internal teams and structured partnerships.
To maintain clarity and avoid potential disputes, Squares 9 does not accept unsolicited submissions of ideas, proposals, concepts, or materials under any condition that creates an obligation of confidentiality, review, or compensation.
No Obligation to Review or Respond
Squares 9 is not obligated to review, acknowledge, or respond to any unsolicited submission. Due to the volume of communications received, individual responses are not feasible and should not be expected.
The absence of a response should not be interpreted as acceptance, evaluation, or consideration of any submitted material.
No Confidential Relationship
Submissions to Squares 9 are not treated as confidential. No confidential or fiduciary relationship is created through the act of submitting information to the company.
Any information submitted may be used, disclosed, or developed further by Squares 9 without restriction. Individuals should not submit information that they consider confidential, proprietary, or protected.
Ownership and Use of Submissions
All submissions and their contents become the property of Squares 9 upon receipt. This includes any ideas, concepts, materials, or supporting information provided by the submitting party.
Squares 9 may use, adapt, modify, publish, distribute, or incorporate submitted materials into its products, platforms, or services without limitation or obligation. No compensation, credit, or acknowledgment is owed for such use.
No Compensation
Squares 9 does not provide compensation for unsolicited submissions. This applies regardless of whether similar ideas are later developed, implemented, or released by the company.
Submission of materials is made voluntarily and without expectation of financial return, licensing arrangement, or contractual relationship.
Representations by the Submitting Party
By submitting any material to Squares 9, the submitting party represents that they have the legal right to provide the information and that it does not contain confidential or proprietary information belonging to another individual or entity.
The submitting party further represents that their submission does not violate intellectual property rights, contractual obligations, or legal protections held by any third party.
Purpose of This Policy
This policy is designed to create clarity. It protects individuals from unintended disclosure of sensitive information and protects Squares 9 from disputes related to independently developed ideas.
Innovation requires parallel thinking. Many ideas may emerge independently across different teams and organizations. This policy ensures that such overlap does not create confusion or legal conflict.
A Clear Boundary
Squares 9 values creativity, insight, and innovation. At the same time, the company maintains clear boundaries around how ideas are received and used.
Individuals who wish to collaborate with Squares 9 should do so through formal, structured channels where expectations, rights, and obligations are clearly defined in advance.
