or claim thereto; or (ii) that you have sufficient rights in and to the product
and all materials submitted with a product such that your submission to HSN
LP, its parent, affiliates and subsidiaries (collectively "HSN") will
not violate the intellectual property rights or other proprietary rights of
any third party.
2. You acknowledge that review of the product submission in no way implies
or creates a confidential relationship or any other obligation of any kind between
you and HSN, including, but not limited to, an obligation by HSN to maintain
the secrecy of any product or material submitted, to pursue your product, or
to pay any consideration for any use of your product or material.

or the product's use by HSN, if any, shall be limited exclusively to the rights
and remedies you may be entitled to under applicable United States patent, copyright
and other intellectual property laws. The acceptance, consideration, and/or
use of the product or material submitted with a product by HSN shall in no way
restrict HSN's right to contest the validity of any patent, trademark, service
mark or copyright that might have been or may hereafter be issued on or obtained
for the product or material submitted.
5. You hereby waive all claims you may have of any nature whatsoever arising
out of any disclosure or submission you may make to HSN. Furthermore, HSN accepts

or material submitted with a product, and you hereby release HSN from any and
all liability for loss of, or damage to, any product or material submitted to

such provision or part thereof shall be deemed omitted, and these terms and
conditions with such provision or part thereof omitted, shall remain in full
force and effect.
9. These terms and conditions will be governed by and construed in accordance
with the internal laws of the State of Florida without regard to conflict of
laws principles. Any suit brought under or in connection with these terms and
conditions may be brought only in the courts of the State of Florida, Pinellas
