Idea Submission & Confidentiality Agreement

Online submission. Effective upon submission.

Our submission process is simple, transparent, and inventor-respectful.

When you submit your idea through the form on our site, it is automatically protected under a Confidentiality Agreement with 2XSR Corp., operating as XL Ovation. This agreement applies even if you have not filed for a patent.

The purpose of this agreement is to allow us to review your idea responsibly while you retain full ownership. Submitting your idea does not transfer any rights or create any obligation for either party.

A copy of your submission and the agreement will be emailed to you automatically after submission for your records.

We work with inventors and product developers at all stages, from early concepts to patented products, and we accept submissions from inventors worldwide. Electronic submissions are typically reviewed within two business days.

PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE SUBMITTING YOUR IDEA

This Agreement is entered into between you ("Inventor") and 2XSR Corp., a Canadian corporation, operating under the business name "XL Ovation" ("Reviewer") and becomes legally binding at the moment you submit your idea through this website.

If you do not agree, please do not submit your information and email us for further information.

Purpose of Disclosure

Inventor wishes to submit information relating to an invention, product concept, or business idea ("Idea") to Reviewer solely for the purpose of evaluation and discussion of a potential business relationship.

Reviewer has no obligation to pursue, license, commercialize, compensate, or enter into any agreement regarding the Idea unless expressly agreed to in a separate written agreement signed by both parties.

Confidential Information

"Confidential Information" includes all non-public information relating to the Idea disclosed by Inventor to Reviewer, whether in written, visual, electronic, or oral form.

Oral disclosures will be treated as Confidential Information if summarized in writing within thirty (30) days of the disclosure.

Confidentiality Obligations

Reviewer agrees to use reasonable care to keep Confidential Information confidential and not to disclose it to third parties except as reasonably necessary for evaluation purposes or with Inventor's permission.

Confidentiality obligations do not apply to information that:

  • Was publicly known at the time of disclosure
  • Becomes public through no fault of Reviewer
  • Was already known by Reviewer prior to disclosure
  • Is independently developed by Reviewer without use of the Confidential Information
  • Is lawfully received from a third party without restriction

Ownership of the Idea

All rights, title, and interest in the Idea and Confidential Information remain solely with Inventor.

Nothing in this Agreement grants Reviewer any ownership, license, or other rights in the Idea unless agreed to in a separate written agreement.

Independent Development

Inventor acknowledges that Reviewer may currently be working on, or may in the future work on, products, concepts, or technologies that are similar or related to the Idea.

Nothing in this Agreement restricts Reviewer from independently developing or using information or concepts not derived from Inventor's Confidential Information, even if similar in nature.

Third Parties & International Communications

Reviewer may engage contractors, advisors, manufacturers, service providers, or other third parties, including those located outside Canada, for the purpose of evaluating submissions.

Reviewer will make reasonable efforts to maintain confidentiality but does not guarantee absolute confidentiality for parties or communication channels beyond its direct control.

No Partnership or Agency

This Agreement does not create any partnership, joint venture, agency, fiduciary relationship, or employment relationship between Inventor and Reviewer.

Term

This Agreement will remain in effect for five (5) years from the date of submission, or until the Confidential Information becomes publicly available through no fault of Reviewer, whichever occurs first.

Limitation of Liability

Reviewer shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, consequential, special, or speculative damages arising from this Agreement or the evaluation of the Idea.

Inventor's sole remedy for a proven breach of confidentiality is injunctive relief and direct damages, if any, caused by such breach.

Governing Law & Dispute Resolution

This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the Province of Ontario, Canada, without regard to conflict-of-law principles.

Any dispute arising under this Agreement shall first be attempted to be resolved through good-faith negotiation, then mediation, and if unresolved, binding arbitration in Ontario, Canada.

Each party shall bear its own costs unless otherwise determined by the arbitrator.

Entire Agreement

This Agreement constitutes the entire understanding between the parties regarding confidentiality of the submitted Idea and supersedes all prior discussions or understandings on this subject.

  • You have read and understand this Agreement
  • You are voluntarily submitting your Idea
