4. IDEAS

The Certinia IdeaExchange is an online forum for posting feature requests for Our products and services.

4.1. Posting of Feature Requests

You are encouraged to submit feature requests to Us by posting on the Certinia IdeaExchange. We reserve the right, in Our sole discretion and without cause at any time, to refuse to post, or to suspend or remove, any feature proposal on the IdeaExchange. To the extent Your employer or another organization with which You are affiliated owns or has rights in the feature request You are submitting, You represent that You are authorized by that employer or organization to submit Your feature request.

In consideration for Our permitting You to post Your feature request on the Certinia IdeaExchange (regardless of whether the feature request is adopted), You agree to the following:

• You represent and warrant that You own or otherwise possess all intellectual property and other rights necessary to allow You to post Your feature request on, and distribute it through, the Certinia IdeaExchange and to permit others to install and use Your feature request.
• You acknowledge that, to the best of Your knowledge and belief, Your submissions of feature requests on the Certinia IdeaExchange do not make You a contributing inventor to any inventions that may arise during development by Us of any products, services or applications implementing Your feature requests. Your preceding acknowledgement notwithstanding, in the event that You are determined to be a contributing inventor to an invention based upon Your postings on the Certinia IdeaExchange, by Us in Our discretion or by any court or government agency competent to make such a determination, You promise to: (a) cooperate with Us in procuring patents to protect the invention; (b) execute all necessary paperwork required to procure patents to the invention on Our behalf; and (c) at Our request execute any assignments assigning ownership of any patents or patent applications to the invention to Us.
• You acknowledge that We may, in Our sole discretion, elect to develop and market products, services or applications that incorporate feature requests that You submit on the Certinia IdeaExchange, and You agree not to make any claims against Us or anyone using a product or service marketed by Us related to the development and offering of such products, services or applications whether Your feature requests are adopted, not adopted or adopted but modified in any product, service or application.
• You acknowledge that anything posted on the Certinia IdeaExchange by any person, regardless of that person’s affiliation or non-affiliation with Us, reflects only the opinions of the person making the post. In particular, You acknowledge that nothing posted on the Certinia IdeaExchange gives rise in any way to a promise or undertaking by Us to adopt, or refrain from adopting, any feature request or course of action regarding any feature request and that any reliance upon such postings is solely at Your own risk. Any unreleased services or features discussed on the Certinia IdeaExchange or on other Certinia websites are not currently available and may not be delivered on time or at all. If You purchase Our services, You should make the purchase decisions based upon features that are currently available. We reserve the right to change Our product and service plans at any time without notice, in Our sole discretion.

4.2 Feature Request Status

If You post a feature request on the Certinia IdeaExchange, We may, in Our sole discretion, comment on the feature request by appending a status to the request. The status allows Us to communicate with the Certinia IdeaExchange community regarding implementation of feature request.

Posting a status to a feature request does not cause Us to undertake any obligation, such as, for example, to develop, implement, release, use, or not use a feature request.

5. PRODUCT ROADMAP INFORMATION

We may, in Our discretion, post product roadmap information on the Certinia Community, including, for example, information about features and functions that We may at that time be planning to add to one or more of Our products or services. Product roadmap information is subject to change at any time in Our sole discretion without notice to You. Posting product roadmap information does not cause Us to undertake any obligation to develop or release any feature, function, product or service. Any unreleased products, services, features or functions referenced on Our website are not currently available and may not be delivered on time or at all. Customers who purchase Certinia products or services should make their purchase decisions based on features and functions that are currently available.
