Foresight retains all rights to use non-proprietary data collected during service provision. Contracts for services, unless for consulting services which explicitly so state, do not include development of intellectual property. Accordingly, Foresight retains rights in any intellectual property developed in the course of all other services. Should this be necessary, Foresight shall inform Customer and receive authorization for this activity. One-half of the contract fee is due on signing, with the remaining on completion of the project.
Foresight provides a good-faith effort.
Customers need to understand the depth of project research, and thus our findings and recommendations are limited by budget. In addition, the work we conduct is limited by what data is available as of the date of the project. Reports are intended for the Customer's internal use. They are not designed to be marketing documents or promotional material. Such intended use would be inconsistent with our goal of providing an honest assessment of commercialization potential.
