Welcome to IDEASTOX.
This website is designed to help people take their ideas from mere visions to actual products, services or other incarnation. This website gives a person with good, unique ideas the access to all the resources needed to get the idea funded, developed and/or purchased. By creating an account, the author of an idea can share her or his ideas with any number of people on the Internet. Ideas that are valued highly by others (i.e., ideas that have a high "STOX VALUE") are the most likely to attract the attention of sponsors, investors or other talented individuals who may want to make the vision of an idea author a reality. The services (the "Services") offered by this website include providing an accessible and reliable way for idea authors to share ideas with a larger community of people and businesses who may be in a position to fund, sponsor or purchase the ideas, as well as a way for people looking to invest in ideas the opportunity to search, browse and evaluate a variety of ideas. Also, as a result of IDEASTOX′s proprietary algorithm, each idea is assigned a STOX VALUE, which is determined by the opinions and votes of the IDEASTOX User community. The assigned STOX VALUE helps an idea author to mold, refine and develop the idea, and it helps the potential idea investors evaluate the ideas.

ADDITIONAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
(effective 1-29-09)

Effective 1-29-09 IDEASTOX adds the following terms to its TERMS AND CONDITIONS, as a result of launching the “Idea Stores” feature on IDEASTOX.com.

You, as a user of IDEASTOX.com, are now obligated under these new TERMS to:

• deliver payment for items purchased by you;
• deliver items purchased from you;
• neither manipulate the price of any item nor interfere with another other user's stores and;
• neither circumvent nor manipulate our fee structure, the billing process, or fees owed to IDEASTOX.

Fees and Services

Sharing ideas on IDEASTOX is free. We do charge a fee to set up a store. When you set up a store, you have an opportunity to review and accept the fee you will be charged.

Unless otherwise stated, all fees are quoted in U.S. Dollars. You are responsible for paying all fees and applicable taxes associated with our sites and services in a timely manner with a valid payment method. If your payment method fails or your account is past due, we may collect fees owed using other collection mechanisms. (This includes charging other payment methods on file with us and retaining collection agencies and legal counsel).

Liability

You will not hold IDEASTOX responsible for other users' content, actions or inactions, or items they list. You acknowledge that we are not a traditional retailer. Instead, IDEASTOX is a venue to allow anyone to sell and buy items related to ideas. We are not involved in the actual transaction between buyers and those authors who choose to sell to them. We have no control over and do not guarantee the quality, safety or legality of items advertised, the truth or accuracy of users’ content or stores, the ability of authors to sell items, the ability of buyers to pay for items, or that a buyer or author who sells will actually complete a transaction.

We do not transfer legal ownership of items from the author who sells to the buyer, and nothing in this agreement shall modify the governing provisions of California Commercial Code § 2401(2) and Uniform Commercial Code § 2-401(2), under which legal ownership of an item is transferred upon physical delivery of the item to the buyer by the author who sells. Unless the buyer and the author who sells agree otherwise, the buyer will become the item's lawful owner upon physical receipt of the item from the author who sells, in accordance with California Commercial Code § 2401(2) and Uniform Commercial Code § 2-401(2). Further, we cannot guarantee continuous or secure access to our services, and operation of the sites may be interfered with by numerous factors outside of our control. Accordingly, to the extent legally permitted, we exclude all implied warranties, terms and conditions. We are not liable for any loss of money, goodwill, or reputation, or any special, indirect, or consequential damages arising out of your use of our sites and services. Some jurisdictions do not allow the disclaimer of warranties or exclusion of damages, so such disclaimers and exclusions may not apply to you. Regardless of the previous paragraph, if we are found to be liable, our liability to you or to any third party is limited to the greater of (a) the total fees you paid to us in the 12 months prior to the action giving rise to the liability, and (b) $100.

Release

If you have a dispute with one or more users, you release us (and our officers, directors, employees, agents, subsidiaries, joint ventures and employees) from claims, demands and damages (actual and consequential) of every kind and nature, known and unknown, arising out of or in any way connected with such disputes. If you are a California resident, you waive California Civil Code §1542, which says: "A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him must have materially affected his settlement with the debtor."

No Agency

No agency, partnership, joint venture, employee-employer or franchiser-franchisee relationship is intended or created by these terms and conditions.

Additional Terms

Each of these policies may be changed from time to time. Changes take effect when we post them on IDEASTOX.com. When using particular services on our site, you are subject to any posted policies or rules applicable to services you use through the site, which may be posted from time to time. All such policies or rules are hereby incorporated into these terms and conditions.

Rules about Intellectual Property

IDEASTOX is committed to protecting the intellectual property rights of third parties and to providing its users with a safe place to buy and sell. Infringement is the unauthorized use of other people’s intellectual property – like copyrighted material and trademarks. Although IDEASTOX works to ensure that listed items do not infringe upon the copyright, trademark or other rights of third parties, we can not be held responsible for any such infringements. If you believe that your rights have been violated, please notify us at urgent@IDEASTOX.com and we will investigate.

Rules that affect what you can sell on IDEASTOX

The following items are restricted or prohibited because they would potentially infringe on intellectual property rights. This list is not exhaustive.

• Replica, counterfeit Items and unauthorized Copies
• Celebrity material including faces, names and signatures, and autographs
• Media - movie prints (35 mm, 70 mm), bootleg recordings, recordable media, promotional copies and digitally delivered goods.
• Certain types of software.
• Equipment that would support unauthorized copies including mod chips, game enhancers, and boot discs and hardware or software that would enable members to duplicate copy-protected material.

• Encourage or enable others to infringe copyrights, trademarks or other rights.
• Improperly use IDEASTOX Intellectual Property.
• Include authenticity disclaimers or deny responsibility for the items offered in their stores.

Rules for Idea Stores

To promote a safe, fair and enjoyable experience, IDEASTOX has established a set of rules and policies for Idea Stores. These restrictions involve how certain items are described, and practices to keep things fair.

Learning about the IDEASTOX Store policies before you add an item will help you to avoid unintentionally breaking rules.

Violations of these policies may result in a range of actions, including:

• Store cancellation
• Limits on member privileges
• Member suspension
• Forfeit of IDEASTOX fees on cancelled stores

When policy violations occur, IDEASTOX emails the author, that a store has been closed.

Stores must not misrepresent items.

Except as noted in the specific policy as exceptions, authors cannot:

Misrepresent the item location from which their item will be shipped.

Include brand names or other inappropriate keywords in a title or description. This is known as keyword spamming.

Have misleading titles that do not accurately describe the item for sale.

Author Performance Policy

IDEASTOX expects authors to consistently provide service that results in a high level of buyer satisfaction.

When an author opens a store on IDEASTOX and a buyer buys from it, the author and buyer enter into a contract that both members are expected to honor. For authors, this contract includes both formal requirements, as well as informal, "common-sense" obligations to provide good service to their buyers. If the author doesn't meet these requirements, it leads to a bad experience for the buyer and may result in negative comments, lower STOX VALUES and a lower Author Rank.

Buyers should let IDEASTOX know about their experience with authors through comments as well as help@ideastox.com.

Tax Policy

As a condition of using IDEASTOX.com, authors agree to comply with all applicable domestic and international laws, statutes, ordinances and regulations regarding:

the use of the IDEASTOX service.

their stores.

their solicitation of offers to purchase.

the sale of their items.

Authors are also responsible for paying all fees associated with using the IDEASTOX service, and all applicable taxes associated with the use of IDEASTOX.
