unsolicited ideas offered to us. Please do not send your unsolicited ideas to Modality or anyone at Modality.
If, in spite of our request that you not send us your ideas, you still send them, then regardless of what

idea to you or respond to you in any way; (3) Modality will have no obligation to keep your idea confidential;
and (4) Modality may use your idea for any purpose whatsoever, including giving your idea to others.
However, Modality does welcome feedback regarding many areas of Modality's 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 above.
