Terms of Service

Using Edison Chronicle

Edison Chronicle provides a practical online space for people exploring product ideas, prototypes, evaluation, and constructive discussion. By accessing the site, creating an account, submitting material, or participating in community areas, you agree to use the site responsibly and in accordance with these terms.

The site may change over time. We may update features, guides, community tools, or these terms when needed. The current version will be posted on this page. Continued use after an update means you accept the revised terms.

Keep your account accurate

You must be at least 18 years old to create and use an account. Provide information that is accurate and keep your account details current. You are responsible for activity carried out through your account and should not share account credentials with another person.

Accounts are for individual participation. Do not use another person’s identity, account, name, or password without permission. Do not collect member contact details or use community information to send unsolicited communications.

Your materials and your choices

You may choose to post text, images, files, designs, or other material through the site. You remain responsible for what you submit and for ensuring that you have the right to share it. Do not post material that violates another person’s privacy, intellectual-property rights, contractual rights, or other lawful interests.

By making content available through the site, you grant Edison Chronicle a limited, non-exclusive permission to host, display, reproduce, adapt for technical presentation, and distribute that content as needed to operate the relevant site features. This permission ends when content is removed from public areas, except where retention is reasonably necessary for backups, legal obligations, dispute handling, or records of community moderation.

Public discussion can affect confidentiality and intellectual-property choices. Share only information you are comfortable making available in a community setting. Consider obtaining qualified professional advice before publicly disclosing a potentially protectable idea.

Help keep the space useful

Use the site in a respectful, lawful, and constructive way. You may not use Edison Chronicle to:

• post material that is unlawful, deceptive, threatening, discriminatory, exploitative, or intended to harass another person;
• share private or identifying information about another person without permission;
• upload malicious code, interfere with site operations, bypass access controls, or use automated tools that place an unreasonable burden on the service;
• infringe copyrights, patents, trade secrets, trademarks, or other rights;
• send unsolicited promotional messages, impersonate others, or use the community primarily for unauthorized commercial solicitation; or
• encourage or provide operational assistance for unlawful activity.

Content should be suitable for a professional learning environment. Keep discussions focused on ideas, evidence, testing, and respectful feedback.

Community access and moderation

We may review, refuse, edit for formatting, remove, or restrict access to content or accounts when we reasonably believe that doing so is necessary to enforce these terms, protect participants, maintain site operations, or meet legal obligations. We may also suspend or end access where use of the site presents a material risk to the community or service.

We do not guarantee that all content will be reviewed, and community posts may be incomplete, inaccurate, or unsuitable for a particular purpose. Use independent judgment before relying on material shared by other participants.

If you believe that content on the site violates these terms or your rights, contact info@edisonchronicle.com-html.com with enough detail for us to understand the concern.

Information is not a promise of results

The site and its materials are provided on an “as available” basis. Edison Chronicle does not promise that information, community feedback, tools, or site access will always be complete, uninterrupted, secure, or suitable for your particular needs.

Ideas, feedback, guides, and discussion are general information. They are not legal, financial, engineering, safety, manufacturing, or professional advice. You are responsible for your decisions, testing, compliance obligations, and any action you take in connection with a product idea.

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Edison Chronicle is not responsible for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive losses arising from use of the site or reliance on community content. Where liability cannot be excluded, it is limited to the extent permitted by law.

Other important terms

You agree to comply with laws that apply to your use of the site. If a provision of these terms is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in effect. A delay in enforcing a provision is not a waiver of that provision.

These terms, together with the applicable privacy policy, form the agreement between you and Edison Chronicle regarding use of the site. Questions about these terms may be sent to info@edisonchronicle.com-html.com.
