You may only access the Services after reading and accepting these Terms of Use.

3. Submitting ideas and thoughts in a lab. 

3.1 You can join Open labs to discuss, engage in conversation, or give ideas on certain topics.

3.3 If you have an idea on a certain topic that is appropriate but publishing it on a lab might harm your wish for execution, your ownership or future commercialization, we strongly advice you not to post it on the lab’s pages, but get in contact with the lab owner or Addictlab management.  

3.4 Unless otherwise agreed upon with the lab owner, by entering a lab you have no obligation to provide Addictlab with ideas, suggestions or proposals (“Issues, Comments, Answers”). There is no contract or obligation to deliver.
