Idea Submission Terms

The short version: we love hearing your problems, but anything you send us isn't secret, isn't paid, and we may build and sell solutions to it - for you and for others.

JustKindaWorks LLC Idea Submission Terms. Version 2026-11-11.

JustKindaWorks LLC ("JustKindaWorks," "we," "us") invites people to tell us about problems they'd like solved. We work on many similar problems for many people, so these terms keep things clear for everyone. By ticking the box and submitting anything through our idea form, social media, email or any other channel (a "Submission"), you agree to these terms. If you don't agree, please don't send us a Submission.

  1. Not confidential. Your Submission is not confidential or proprietary. We have no duty to keep it secret, return it, or limit who sees it. Please don't send trade secrets, unpublished inventions, or anything you need kept private.
  2. We may use it freely. You give JustKindaWorks a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free, transferable and sublicensable right to use, copy, change, combine, publish, build on and commercialize your Submission and anything we make from it. That includes selling or licensing the resulting products, services or solutions to anyone, including other customers. You keep any ownership you already had in your own original material.
  3. No payment, credit or obligation. We owe you no compensation, royalty, credit or attribution. Receiving or reviewing a Submission doesn't oblige us to reply, build anything, or work with you.
  4. Independent development. We, our AI systems and other people may already be working on, or may later create, something similar to your Submission. You agree that similar products or ideas aren't evidence that we used your Submission, and we have no duty to show where an idea came from.
  5. Your promises. You confirm that you created the Submission or have the right to share it. You confirm it doesn't include anyone else's confidential information, trade secrets or third-party material you can't share, or anything that breaks a law or another agreement, such as an employer's confidentiality agreement.
  6. No partnership or job. A Submission doesn't create a partnership, joint venture, employment, agency or fiduciary relationship.
  7. Paid work is separate. If we ever do paid or confidential work for you, a separate written agreement signed by both of us will govern that work. These terms still cover anything you sent before that agreement.
  8. Public scoreboard. If you tick the scoreboard box, we may show a short, safe-for-work summary of your Submission on our public idea scoreboard, without your name or contact details.
  9. Your contact details. If you give us an email with a Submission, we use it only to reply about that Submission. We only send updates if you sign up for them separately on our updates page, and every update email lets you opt out. We don't sell your contact details.
  10. Release. To the fullest extent the law allows, you release JustKindaWorks and its members from any claim that we misused your Submission or owe you money for it.
  11. Texas law. These terms are governed by Texas law. Any dispute will be handled in the state or federal courts in Travis County, Texas.
  12. Changes. We may update these terms. The version in effect when you submitted applies to that Submission.
