Confidentiality and unauthorized ideas

You are responsible for complying with the laws of the jurisdiction from which you are accessing this site and you agree that you will not access or use the Information on this site in violation of such laws. Unless expressly stated otherwise herein, any information submitted by you through this site shall be deemed non-confidential and non-proprietary. You represent that you have the lawful right to submit such information and agree that you will not submit any information unless you are legally entitled to do so. Because of the open nature of the Internet, we recommend that you not submit information you consider confidential.


AkzoNobel 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, AkzoNobel cannot and does not treat any such submissions in confidence. Accordingly, please do not communicate unauthorized idea submissions to AkzoNobel through this website. Any ideas disclosed to AkzoNobel outside a pre-existing and documented confidential business relationship are not confidential and AkzoNobel shall therefore be entitled to develop, use, copy and/or commercially exploit these or similar ideas to the fullest extent and without compensating you or accounting to you.

However, if a review is necessary in AkzoNobel's sole discretion, it will be with the understanding that AkzoNobel 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 AkzoNobel through this website, you agree to be bound by the terms of this stated policy.


Severability

If these Terms of Use are or become partially void, the parties will continue to be bound by the remainder of the same. The parties shall replace the void part be provisions that are valid and have legal effect that correspond with those of such void part as much as possible, taking into account the content and the purport of these Terms of Use.


In the event that a translation of these Terms of Use differs from the original English version, the English version will prevail.


Applicable law and jurisdiction

These Terms of Use shall be exclusively governed by the laws of the country in which AkzoNobel is established. All disputes arising in connection with these Terms of Use, including but not limited to disputes concerning the existence and validity thereof, shall be resolved by the competent courts of aforesaid country.
