Submission Policy

Samsung SDS is pleased to hear from its users and welcomes your comments regarding Samsung SDS's services and products, and may from time to time request certain feedback or content from you, such as on message boards or in connection with contests ("Solicited Submissions"). Nevertheless, Samsung SDS's long-standing company policy does not allow it to accept or consider creative ideas, show designs, photographs, drawings, or original artwork, suggestions for new products or product improvements, suggestions for technologies, methods, techniques, processes, inventions, marketing plans, or any materials other than those it has specifically requested (see below) ("Unsolicited Submissions"). We hope you will understand that it is the intent of this policy to avoid the possibility of future misunderstandings when projects developed by Samsung SDS's or its affiliates' professional staff might seem to others to be similar to their own creative work. Accordingly, we ask that you do not send Samsung SDS any Unsolicited Submissions.
Both Solicited and Unsolicited Submissions (collectively "Submissions") will be treated as non-confidential and non-proprietary in each instance. For purposes of this paragraph, all community content shall be deemed included in the definition of Submissions. None of the Submissions shall be subject to any obligation of confidence on the part of Samsung SDS, and Samsung SDS shall not be liable for any use or disclosure of any Submissions. Any Submission may be used by Samsung SDS without restriction for any purpose whatsoever, including, without limitation, reproduction, disclosure, transmission, publication, broadcast or posting, and you hereby irrevocably waive, release and give up any claim that any use of such Submission violates any of your rights, including, without limitation, copyrights, trademarks, patents, moral rights, privacy rights, proprietary or other property rights, publicity rights, or right to credit for the material or ideas. Samsung SDS shall have and is irrevocably granted the right, but not the obligation, to reproduce, modify, adapt, publish, broadcast, license, perform, post, sell, translate, incorporate, create derivative works from, distribute and otherwise use the Submission in any and all media, now known or hereafter devised, throughout the universe, in perpetuity, without according you any compensation or credit. By making a Submission to Samsung SDS, you represent that such Submission is original with you and does not violate or infringe upon the rights of any third parties, including, without limitation, any intellectual property rights and rights of publicity and/or privacy. All Submissions to Samsung SDS shall be the sole property of Samsung SDS and will not be acknowledged or returned. You agree and understand that Samsung SDS is not obligated to use any Submission you and that you have no right to compel such use. You hereby acknowledge and agree that your relationship with Samsung SDS is not a confidential, fiduciary, or other special relationship, and that your decision to submit any material to Samsung SDS does not place Samsung SDS in a position that is any different from the position held by members of the general public with regard to your Submission. You understand and acknowledge that Samsung SDS has wide access to ideas, stories, designs, and other literary materials, and that new ideas are constantly being submitted to it or being developed by Samsung SDS's own employees. Many ideas or stories may be competitive with, similar or identical to your Submission in theme, idea, plot, format or other respects. You acknowledge and agree that you will not be entitled to any compensation as a result of Samsung SDS's use of any such similar or identical material. Finally, you acknowledge that, with respect to any claim you may have relating to or arising out of a Samsung SDS's actual or alleged exploitation or use of any material you submit to Samsung SDS, the damage, if any, thereby caused will not be irreparable or otherwise sufficient to entitle you to injunctive or other equitable relief or to in any way enjoin the production, distribution, exhibition or other exploitation of any production based on or allegedly based on the material, and your rights and remedies in any such event shall be strictly limited to the right to recover damages, if any, in an action at law.
