Policy on ideas and other proposals from individuals

Occasionally TS TECH receives from users inquiries about ideas such as proposals for new products, technologies, designs, or product names, plans, concepts, or other proposals ("proposals" hereinafter).
However, TS TECH is engaged in independent research and development in various fields on a daily basis, and there is a possibility that unpublished ideas developed by TS TECH independently could resemble users' proposals entirely by chance. Such an occurrence could lead to misunderstandings or disputes.
To avoid the risk of such cases, TS TECH handles proposals from users as described below.

In principle, we ask users to refrain from submitting any proposals to TS TECH

Please understand that any proposals submitted to TS TECH despite the above request shall be understood to have been submitted in consent with the following conditions:

  • TS TECH is under no obligation to keep submitted proposals confidential.
  • TS TECH is under no obligation to consider, evaluate or use submitted proposals.
  • TS TECH bears no liability any way, including that for payment of remuneration etc. to submitters of proposals even if it has adopted a proposal that is identical or similar, in whole or in part, to their proposals.
  • TS TECH is under no obligation to respond to or return any documents or other materials related to submitted proposals.

Thank you for your understanding.
