Acceptance of the Confidentiality Agreement is required to complete the submission process. See the Agreement at this link and at the bottom of the page. If you agree, please check the check box below:

The following questions are designed give us an understanding of your invention idea. Some questions may not be relevant, you may not know the answers to others, or for any reason at all, you may wish to skip a few. That's ok. You are not required to disclose confidential information for a Brutally Honest Review. We connect with you by phone, email and Google Meet, so email and phone are required. You can upload images, documents and videos up to 20MB with this form. You can also provide links (and passwords). The Confidentiality Agreement can be seen at this link and also shows at the bottom when you check the box above to accept it. If you have questions please send them to Dan Fulford at dan@inventioncity.com

Note on videos - We love videos but prefer to view them online at sites like YouTube and Vimeo. Vimeo offers password protection to keep videos private. YouTube offers a non-public sharing option. Don't worry about production quality. Focus on making your points quickly. Less is more. In most cases an invention can be well explained in under 2 minutes. 

Quantity discounts are available. Save on additional inventions if you submit more than one at a time for BHR Basic and BHR Silver.

Guarantee: We promise that we will give you honest feedback about your invention from an investor perspective. We do not guarantee that we will say "yes" to investing in your invention or offer you a licensing deal. if you feel that we did not perform as promised you may request a full refund within 30 days of receiving your review. All you need to do is to send an email asking for a refund with a short explanation of your reason - other than receiving an answer of "no". We believe that an honest "no" from us and the reasons behind it will likely save you thousands of dollars. We urge you to not submit if you are submitting only in the expectation of getting a yes.

Upon payment you will be entered into the Confidentiality Agreement at this link and shown below, and your information will be submitted to Invention City to begin the Brutally Honest Review. We typically respond within one business day to confirm that your information has been received and to ask follow up questions.

AGREEMENT TO KEEP INFORMATION CONFIDENTIAL

This Agreement to Keep Information Confidential is made and entered into by and between you, the discloser of an invention idea (“Inventor”) and Invention City, Inc., a Massachusetts corporation together with its advisers and affiliates, (“Reviewer”).

1. Inventor has developed and owns all rights to an idea (“Product”) and wishes to disclose the Product to Reviewer for evaluation of a possible business relationship (“Disclosure”). Both Inventor and Reviewer want the Disclosure to remain confidential and proprietary to Inventor as described in this Agreement.

2. Reviewer will hold in confidence all information relating to the Product that Inventor discloses to Reviewer hereafter and shall not directly or indirectly disclose to others such information except as expressly allowed by Inventor. Reviewer will protect the Disclosure as carefully as it protects its own trade secret information. To avoid misunderstanding, all Disclosure information shall be written (either by text or graphic) or tangible; orally transmitted information is not included by this Agreement. Inventor will make clear and keep a record of what information Inventor has disclosed to Reviewer.

3. Inventor retains all rights to the Product and Disclosure.

4. This Agreement does not apply to any information that was already known by Reviewer at the time of Disclosure or was publicly available at the time of Disclosure. This Agreement will cease to apply if a) Disclosed information becomes publicly available through no fault of Reviewer, b) is publicly disclosed by Inventor, c) is independently disclosed to Reviewer by an unrelated third party, or d) three years from the date of entering into this Agreement.

5. Both Inventor and Reviewer agree that this Agreement does not give either of them any rights to information or property owned by the other. Improvements or modifications to the Disclosure shall be protected under this Agreement when Disclosed as described in section 2.

6. This Confidentiality Agreement may change in the future. In such event, the version of Agreement in place at the time of your submission and Disclosure shall remain in effect.

7. This Agreement is governed only by Massachusetts law. Any dispute under this Agreement that cannot be settled by the parties themselves or with the assistance of a mediator within one month of notice of the dispute (except for the issuance of an injunction) will be settled by arbitration on an accelerated basis by a single arbitrator in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association, both mediation and arbitration to be held in Barnstable, Massachusetts USA. Each party will pay its own expenses of mediation and arbitration and equally share the mediator/arbitrator's fee and facility rental (if needed), unless the arbitrator chooses to require one party to pay all or a portion of the other party’s expenses.

By clicking on "submit" I understand that I am entering into a legally binding Agreement with Invention City to protect the confidentiality of my Product idea for review. I have been encouraged to consult with advisors of my choice before entering into this Agreement.
