Please do not submit through general website forms:
11. Confidentiality of Inquiries
Bluest treats business inquiries responsibly; however, submitting information through the Site does not, by itself, create a legal duty of confidentiality. Do not assume that information submitted through a general contact form or unsolicited communication is protected under a nondisclosure agreement. When a prospective or active engagement requires exchange of confidential information, the parties should establish appropriate confidentiality obligations through a written nondisclosure agreement, consulting agreement, master services agreement, statement of work, or other applicable agreement. Once such an agreement is in place, its confidentiality provisions will govern the information covered by that agreement.
12. Unsolicited Ideas and Materials
Bluest welcomes legitimate inquiries about our services but does not request unsolicited proprietary business ideas, methodologies, inventions, product concepts, confidential strategies, or other materials through the Site. If you voluntarily submit unsolicited non-confidential ideas or suggestions regarding the Site or Bluest services, you acknowledge that Bluest may already be developing or considering similar concepts. Nothing in these Terms transfers ownership of your pre-existing intellectual property to Bluest. Likewise, submission of unsolicited information does not restrict Bluest from independently developing ideas, methods, services, or materials that may be similar.

Your use of the Site is also subject to the Bluest Privacy Policy, which explains how personal information may be collected, used, disclosed, retained, and protected.

22. Severability
If any provision of these Terms is found unenforceable or invalid, that provision will be interpreted or limited to the extent necessary to make it enforceable where possible. The remaining provisions will remain in effect.
23. No Waiver
A failure by Bluest to enforce a provision of these Terms does not waive the right to enforce that provision or another provision later.
24. Entire Website Agreement
These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and any other policies expressly incorporated by reference, constitute the agreement governing general use of the Site. They do not replace or modify a separately executed NDA, consulting agreement, master services agreement, statement of work, licensing agreement, or other written agreement between Bluest and another party.
