1. Evaluation only
Submitting an idea, attachment or proposal does not guarantee acceptance, create a partnership, transfer intellectual property or establish a development obligation. Development begins only under the relevant approved agreement.
2. Your information and authority
Provide accurate information and only material you are authorized to submit. Identify existing rights and restrictions where relevant. Avoid unnecessary personal information and highly sensitive commercial material before appropriate protections are agreed.
You authorise the limited use of submitted material reasonably necessary to evaluate and administer your application. Submission does not assign rights or authorise public showcasing or unrelated commercial reuse.
3. Confidentiality
Proposal access is restricted in the platform. The published Privacy Policy, Website Terms and Confidentiality Information describe the treatment of submissions before a separate agreement exists. An executed confidentiality agreement may add project-specific protections. Arrange suitable protections before sending highly sensitive information.
4. Application process
Applications may move through review, additional-information requests, discussions and negotiation. An accepted application can become a project record; acceptance does not mark a contract executed. Applicants can withdraw through the workspace where the lifecycle permits.
5. Accepted version
The platform records the published submission-terms version accepted, applicant account, associated application and timestamp. Material changes to project obligations use the relevant agreement process.
6. Contact and requests
For general website or project enquiries, contact [email protected]. Contact [email protected] for privacy rights requests or our Information Officer. Requests are reviewed for identity, authority and applicable retention obligations.
