Unsolicited Ideas
PRKS is an innovative company that actively works to develop creative ideas and products on its own pertaining to technologies, marketing materials and other aspects of our business.

This policy is not intended to prohibit the receipt and response to PRKS guest feedback, but rather to avoid future misunderstandings about creative ideas when new products, services and features should PRKS independently develop ideas or concepts similar or even identical to a third party’s idea.
Due to the volume of unsolicited ideas and proposals for ideas, products and services, and the business and legal challenges of determining whether an idea is truly a “new” ideas or materials, PRKS must adhere to this policy of not accepting or considering any unsolicited ideas, and not compensating anyone for unsolicited materials of this nature.
