The Ideas Trading Center (ITC) is an independent facilitator, and is neither a party to nor involved in any business transaction between the originator/seller of ideas and reviewer(s) or buyer(s) of ideas. ITC does not promote any idea but merely makes it available to prospective reviewers and/or buyers. ITC does not evaluate, judge, assign value to, or develop a prototype for any idea, nor does it assess the feasibility of any idea. Prospective reviewers and/or buyers are fully responsible for independently evaluating ideas. There is no guarantee that a seller's idea will be reviewed or purchased by a prospective reviewer or buyer. ITC will not participate in any legal disputes that may arise between idea reviewers/buyers and idea sellers.

The ITC platform for selling and buying ideas is simple, efficient, versatile, low-cost, and fast, delivering benefits to both idea sellers and reviewers/buyers.

All transactions are processed through secure payment gateways and encrypted to ensure data safety.

In addition to various reality checks and confirmations in the idea registration form, submitted ideas are examined by ITC prior to acceptance to ensure compliance with the written requirements for completing the idea registration form.
