Wonder by Deloitte identifies, builds and launches new profit-with-purpose businesses that have massive potential to transform our collective future, while also future-proofing our firm with new learnings, relationships and innovations (“Wonder”).

As part of its commitment to workplace innovation, Deloitte Inc. (“Deloitte”) has launched a website for use by Deloitte personnel for the purposes of: (i) submitting ideas for assessment of commercial application and marketability by the Wonder team, (ii) getting involved in existing opportunities being commercialized by the Wonder team, and (iii) browsing through opportunities being worked on at Wonder (the “Wonder Site”).

These terms and conditions (the “Terms”) govern your use of the Wonder Site, and Deloitte asks that you read them carefully. By accessing or otherwise using the Wonder Site, you accept and agree to be bound, without qualification, by the Terms. Deloitte’s failure to insist upon or enforce strict performance of any provision of the Terms will not be construed as a waiver of any provision or rights it may have under the Terms.

Right to Use

You may only access and use the Wonder Site and any web pages, software, information in all forms, logos, and other data, elements, or information contained in the Wonder Site (the “Content”) for (i) submitting and managing ideas, content, and other materials submitted by you to the Wonder Site; and/or (ii) joining an existing opportunity where you add or further develop ideas, content and other materials (the “Submitted Materials”), where such Submitted Materials are for the internal business purposes of Deloitte.

By submitting an idea or joining an opportunity on the Wonder Site: (i) you hereby assign to Deloitte all rights, title, and interests, including all intellectual property rights, in and to the Submitted Materials that are created, modified, or enhanced when you submit, and work on, an opportunity at Wonder; (ii) you warrant that the Submitted Materials, and any and all inventions, discoveries, concepts, ideas, designs, improvements, trade secrets, and other proprietary rights, whether or not patentable or registrable under patent, copyright, trademark or similar laws included in the Submitted Materials do not infringe any third party proprietary rights;(iii) you hereby waive all moral rights that you have in and to all Submitted Materials; and (iv) you agree to cooperate fully, both during and after the termination or resignation of your employment, with respect to signing further documents and doing such acts and other things reasonably requested by Deloitte to confirm the transfer of ownership of all rights, title, and interests in and to the Submitted Materials, the waiver of moral rights in the Submitted Materials, or to obtain or enforce patent, copyright, trade secret, or other protection for Submitted Materials.

Except as expressly permitted by Deloitte, you may not use the Wonder Site, the Content, or Submitted Materials for any commercial purposes whatsoever. You must not allow another person to access or use the Wonder Site with your account, and you must notify Deloitte as soon as reasonably practicable after learning of any unauthorized use of your account, breach of security, or loss or theft of any account information (including your username and password).
