1. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing or using www.yourideatomarket.com (the "Platform"), creating an account, submitting a worksheet, or purchasing a report, you ("User" or "Inventor") agree to be bound by these Terms of Use and our Privacy Policy.

If you do not agree to these terms, do not use the Platform. These Terms constitute a legally binding agreement between you and Your Idea To Market ("Company," "we," "us," or "our").

You must be at least 18 years old to use this Platform. By using the Platform, you represent that you are 18 or older.

2. Confidentiality & Idea Protection

We recognize that inventors share sensitive, potentially valuable product ideas with our Platform. We treat all submitted information as confidential. This section constitutes our binding confidentiality commitment to you.

🔒 Our Confidentiality Commitment to You

Your Idea To Market hereby agrees and covenants that with respect to any product idea, invention description, market research, or other proprietary information you submit through the Platform ("Your Idea"):

  • We will hold Your Idea in strict confidence and will not disclose it to any third party without your explicit written consent.
  • We will use Your Idea solely for the purpose of generating your personalized analysis report, for no other purpose.
  • We will not reproduce, copy, sell, license, patent, or otherwise commercially exploit Your Idea.
  • We will not disclose Your Idea to our employees, contractors, or agents except on a strictly need-to-know basis for technical support you request.
  • Your Idea will not be used to train, fine-tune, or improve any artificial intelligence model.
  • This confidentiality obligation survives termination of your account and these Terms indefinitely.

Limitation: Our confidentiality obligation does not apply to information that: (a) is or becomes publicly available through no fault of ours; (b) you have independently published or disclosed elsewhere before submitting to us; or (c) we are required to disclose by law or court order (in which case we will notify you promptly to the extent permitted by law).

⚠️ Practical advice: We strongly recommend filing a Provisional Patent Application (USPTO, ~$320 micro-entity fee) before sharing detailed technical specifications of any patentable invention with any party, including our platform. A provisional application establishes your priority date for 12 months.

3. Intellectual Property Ownership

Your Intellectual Property

You retain full and exclusive ownership of your product idea, invention concept, and all intellectual property rights associated with them. Submitting information to our Platform does not constitute any transfer, assignment, or license of your intellectual property to us.

You grant us a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable license solely to process your submitted information for the purpose of generating your analysis report. This license terminates when you delete your account or request deletion of your data.

Our Intellectual Property

The Platform itself, including its design, code, analysis methodology, scoring systems, and all content we create, is owned by Your Idea To Market and protected by copyright and other intellectual property laws. Your analysis report, once generated, belongs to you.

Before making significant business, financial, or legal decisions based on your report, we strongly encourage you to consult with qualified professionals including a patent attorney, business advisor, or market research firm.

The viability scores, market estimates, and recommendations in your report are AI-generated estimates based on the information you provided and general knowledge, not verified market data.

11. Termination

You may terminate your account at any time from your dashboard or by contacting us. Upon termination, your account data will be deleted within 30 days per our Privacy Policy.

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms. In the event of termination for cause, any purchased reports remain accessible to you for 30 days following termination so you can download them.

Sections 2 (Confidentiality), 3 (IP Ownership), 8 (AI Disclaimer), 9 (Limitation of Liability), and 10 (Indemnification) survive termination of these Terms.

12. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the United States. Any disputes arising from these Terms or your use of the Platform shall be resolved through binding arbitration under the American Arbitration Association's rules, except that either party may seek injunctive relief in a court of competent jurisdiction for IP or confidentiality violations.

If any provision of these Terms is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions will continue in full force and effect.
