Terms and Conditions for Idea Kiln

Description of Idea Kiln

Idea Kiln is a collaborative platform where innovators, entrepreneurs, and creative thinkers can submit, refine, and develop their concepts through community feedback and engagement. Our platform provides tools for idea submission, collaborative refinement, and community interaction to help transform raw concepts into well-crafted, viable ideas.

User Content and Intellectual Property

You retain ownership of all ideas, concepts, and content you submit to the platform. By posting content on Idea Kiln, you grant us a non-exclusive, royalty-free license to display, use, and distribute your content within the platform for the purpose of enabling community feedback and collaboration.

Additionally, you grant Idea Kiln permission to showcase and promote your ideas on our social media accounts (including but not limited to X, TikTok, Bluesky), in our newsletters, and in other promotional materials. We will always attribute the idea to you as the creator when promoting your content outside the platform. If your idea is selected for promotion, you may request that we remove it from our promotional channels at any time by contacting me at sebastian@ideakiln.com.

While we encourage collaboration and feedback, users are responsible for protecting their own intellectual property rights. We recommend not sharing proprietary information, trade secrets, or patentable ideas without proper protection.

Payment Terms

Idea Kiln offers subscription plans to access premium features. When you subscribe to a plan, you agree to pay the fees associated with your selected plan. We process payments through trusted third-party payment processor Stripe.

For one-time promotional payments (such as Promoted or Premium idea placement), all sales are final and non-refundable once the promotional service has been activated. This is because these services provide immediate visibility benefits that cannot be reversed.

Subscribers receive a 30% discount on one-time promotional payments for idea enhancement. This discount is automatically applied when you have an active subscription.

We offer a full refund within 7 days of subscribing if you are not satisfied with our services, provided you have not purchased any one-time promotional products during this period. After the 7-day period, you may cancel your subscription at any time, but no refunds will be issued for the current billing cycle. To request a refund or cancel your subscription, please contact our support team.
