Submission of unsolicited ideas

Whilst we enjoy feedback on our games and their content, we ask that you do not submit any creative ideas, materials or other suggestions in relation to our games. We ask this so that we each avoid any potential misunderstandings or disputes as to ideas and ownership should any of our current or future content seem similar to anything you may have submitted to us. We have lots of ideas in development at all times and it is possible that something we have been working on independently may be similar to something you have sent in.

Whilst we do not wish you to send in any ideas, we can’t stop you from doing so. If you have any legal rights in the ideas or content that you might send us, you confirm that we can use it in any way we choose and without any payment of any nature to you, whether or not any such content might appear in a game of ours.

To expand on the above paragraph, should you send any unsolicited material to us, you grant us a royalty-free, irrevocable, non-exclusive, worldwide, perpetual, transferable unlimited right and license (with the right to sublicense or assign) to use and exploit the material in any way and through all media and to copy, alter, modify, prepare derivative works from, implement, adapt, manufacture, market, publish, stream, distribute and sell or otherwise exploit the material in any way and in all media, may they be currently known or developed in the future.

Having regard to the above grant, if and to the extent necessary, you undertake to execute and deliver any and all documents and perform any and all actions necessary or desirable to ensure that the rights to use such materials granted to us as outlined in the paragraph above are valid, effective and enforceable. You waive and agree not to assert those rights to the maximum extent permitted by the laws of your jurisdiction.
