Genesis or any of its employees do not accept or consider unsolicited ideas, including ideas for new advertising campaigns, marketing strategies, new or improved products, technologies, services, processes, materials, or new product names. We have found this policy necessary in order to avoid misunderstandings should Genesis' business activities bear coincidental similarities with one or more of the thousands of unsolicited ideas offered to us. Please do not send your unsolicited ideas to Genesis or anyone at Genesis. If, in spite of our request that you not send us your ideas, you still send them, then regardless of what your posting, email, letter, or other transmission may say, (1) your idea will automatically become the property of Genesis, without any compensation to you; (2) Genesis will have no obligation to return your idea to you or respond to you in any way; (3) Genesis will have no obligation to keep your idea confidential; and (4) Genesis may use your idea for any purpose whatsoever, including giving your idea to others.
However, Genesis does welcome feedback regarding many areas of Genesis' existing businesses that will help satisfy customer's needs, and feedback can be provided through the many listed contact areas on the Site. Any feedback you provide shall be deemed a Submission under the terms in the User Supplied Information section.
Genesis does not want to receive confidential or proprietary information from you via the Site. You agree that any material, information, or data you transmit to us or post to the Site (each a "Submission" or collectively "Submissions") will be considered non confidential and non proprietary.
