Common use of Unsolicited Submissions Clause in Contracts

Unsolicited Submissions. Please do not send or provide any unsolicited data, reports, studies, ideas, works, materials, proposals, suggestions, content, or the like (collectively, “Unsolicited Submissions”) in any form to Ruby or any of our employees or contractors. As a result of the legal and business complexities, we regret that it has become necessary for us to adopt a strict policy against accepting or considering any Unsolicited Submissions sent to us. This policy is necessary to avoid potential misunderstandings or disputes that may arise if our new products or services or marketing campaigns were to appear similar to an idea submitted by you. If, despite our request that you not send us your Unsolicited Submissions, you still submit them, then regardless of what your correspondence says, you understand and agree that the following terms will apply to your submissions: (i) your Unsolicited Submissions and their contents will automatically become the property of Ruby, without any compensation to you; (ii) there is no obligation for Ruby to review, consider, or otherwise use the Unsolicited Submissions; (iii) Ruby may use or redistribute the Unsolicited Submissions and their contents for any purpose and in any way; and (iv) there is no obligation to keep any submissions confidential.
