Waters Edge does not accept unauthorized idea submissions outside of established business relationships. To protect the interests of our current clients and ourselves, we must treat the issue of such submissions with great care. Importantly, without a clear business relationship, Waters Edge cannot and does not treat any such submissions in confidence. Accordingly, please do not communicate unauthorized idea submissions to Waters Edge through this website. Any ideas disclosed to Waters Edge outside a pre-existing and documented confidential business relationship are not confidential and Waters Edge may therefore develop, use and freely disclose or publish similar ideas without compensating you or accounting to you. Waters Edge will make every reasonable effort to return or destroy any unauthorized idea submissions without detailed review of them. However, if a review is necessary in Waters Edge’s sole discretion, it will be with the understanding that Waters Edge assumes no obligation to protect the confidentiality of your idea or compensate you for its disclosure or use. By submitting an idea or other detailed submission to Waters Edge through this website, you agree to be bound by the terms of this stated policy.

Waters Edge reserves the right to amend or modify these Terms of Use from time to time, and without notice.  Your use of this website at any time following any such amendment or modification shall constitute your agreement that such use is subject to the then current Terms of Use.  We also may establish terms and conditions governing specific portions of this website, or services included within those portions, which may vary from these Terms of Use; in such case, we will provide suitable notice of the existence of the different terms and conditions.

We may terminate your access to this website immediately and without notice if, in our sole discretion, you fail to comply with any of these Terms of Use or any other term or condition of use posted on this website. Upon termination of your use of this website, you must cease use the website and destroy all materials obtained from the website and all copies of such materials.
