This website and related server systems may log and retain IP address, date and time of access, browser and device information, user-agent, referring page, session/access records, form submission data, and related technical records. These records may be used to verify access history, establish disclosure timelines, investigate unauthorized use, protect intellectual property, and support legal proceedings if necessary.

The purpose of disclosure is limited to evaluation of a possible investment, development, vendor, advisory, partnership, marina, real estate, hospitality, licensing, or business relationship with Floating Lofts™.

2. Confidential Information

Confidential Information includes all non-public information disclosed through FloatingLofts.com, by email, in meetings, in calls, through documents, presentations, prototypes, renderings, models, websites, files, data rooms, or any other medium. This includes technical and business information relating to proprietary ideas, patentable ideas, inventions, copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, research and development, products and services, software, schematics, designs, architectural and engineering concepts, marina concepts, floating residential and hospitality concepts, production methods, costs, profit and margin information, finances, financial projections, customers, clients, investors, vendors, marketing, current or future business plans, and business models, whether or not marked confidential.

4. No License or Ownership Transfer

All Confidential Information and intellectual property remain the exclusive property of Discloser. No license, ownership interest, patent right, copyright right, trademark right, trade secret right, development right, territory right, partnership right, investment right, or other right is granted or implied by access to the information or by submission of this form.

5. Limited Use

Recipient may use Confidential Information only for the limited purpose of evaluating a potential relationship with Floating Lofts™.

Upon request, Recipient shall immediately return, delete, or destroy all Confidential Information, including copies, extracts, notes, analyses, reports, work product, screenshots, downloads, printouts, and derivative materials, and shall certify such deletion or destruction in writing if requested.

8. Exceptions

This Agreement does not restrict information that Recipient can prove was already lawfully in Recipient's possession before disclosure, became public through no fault of Recipient, was lawfully received from a third party without a duty of confidentiality, was authorized for release in writing by Discloser, or was independently developed without use of Confidential Information.

9. Term and Trade Secrets

This Agreement applies from the time of submission and continues for five (5) years from the last disclosure. Trade secret obligations and restrictions on unauthorized use of intellectual property survive for as long as permitted by applicable law.

11. No Business Obligation and Non-Reliance

Nothing in this Agreement requires either party to proceed with any transaction, investment, partnership, purchase, sale, employment, advisory role, or other business relationship. Recipient agrees not to rely on Confidential Information as a promise, representation, guarantee, offer, or commitment unless later stated in a separate written agreement signed by Discloser.

12. Governing Law and Venue
