Fair Share Innovation

Disclaimer = Plain-English, No-Nonsense Explanation of What Fair Share Is, What It Isn’t, and How You’re Protected

1. WHAT THIS IS

This document is a plain-English disclaimer for anyone using the Fair Share Innovation (FSI) website, tools, or services. A disclaimer means we’re being transparent about what we do and don’t do—so that everyone is protected, including you.

By using this website, you are agreeing to this disclaimer in full. If you do not agree, do not use the platform.

2. WHAT FAIR SHARE INNOVATION ACTUALLY IS

Fair Share Innovation is not a law firm, patent agency, or invention manufacturer.
Fair Share is a public trust platform. It helps everyday inventors protect, refine, and prepare their ideas using a $100 timestamping service, AI-enhanced feedback, and educational tools.

We are not offering legal advice, legal representation, or filing patents on your behalf. We are a preparation platform, not a legal or licensing authority.

3. IDEA SUBMISSIONS AND LIMITS OF PROTECTION

When you submit your idea through Fair Share:

• It      is hashed using SHA-256, a cryptographic fingerprinting method.
• The      hash is timestamped using OpenTimestamps and stored on the Bitcoin      blockchain—creating a verifiable record of your idea's existence at a      specific date and time.

But this is not a patent.

A blockchain timestamp is not the same as a government-issued patent, trademark, or copyright. It gives you a strong starting point and public proof of existence—but it does not grant you exclusive rights under intellectual property law.

4. COPYRIGHT, TRADEMARK, AND PATENT NOTICE

Fair Share does not claim ownership over your idea.

However:

• We do      claim ownership over our platform, our systems, our branding, and the Fair      Share Innovation model.
• This      includes any educational materials, explainer videos, process flows, AI      refinement methods, and licensing models used on this site.

The Fair Share name, logo, explainer tools, and Golden Goose system are protected under Canadian and international copyright and trademark laws.

If you replicate our model, you must:

• Provide      visible credit to Fair Share Innovation
• Link      to our original system
• Follow      any smart contracts or fair use licensing terms that apply

Otherwise, we reserve the right to pursue legal recourse in the future, especially once Fair Share becomes fully funded and represented.

5. NO GUARANTEE OF SUCCESS

We do not guarantee that your idea will:

• Become      a successful business
• Be      accepted by partners like Davison or crowdfunding firms
• Be      unique, patentable, or profitable

We help prepare your idea. The results depend on many things—including effort, timing, market conditions, and your own decision-making.

According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, approximately 45% of startups fail within the first five years, and 65% fail within 10 years. Most failures are due to lack of preparation, poor timing, and funding constraints—not lack of effort.

Fair Share exists to reduce these risks, but we cannot eliminate them.

6. DUE DILIGENCE IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY

You are responsible for:

• Ensuring      your idea does not already exist or conflict with existing patents
• Conducting      a patent search through the USPTO, CIPO, or your country’s IP office
• Understanding      local laws before publicly sharing your idea

We offer educational guidance, but we do not and cannot guarantee legal compliance for every invention.

If your idea accidentally violates an existing patent, you may be legally liable, not Fair Share.

We strongly recommend consulting a qualified IP attorney if you are unsure.

7. NO LIABILITY FOR MISUSE OR OUTCOMES

Fair Share Innovation and its team are not responsible for:

• Business failures
• Missed deadlines
• Lost opportunities
• Third-party misuse of ideas
• Legal disputes
• Failure to follow through on your part

We are a support platform, not a representative, agent, or business partner.

You are in control of your invention journey. Our role is to educate, timestamp, and support, not to guarantee outcomes.

8. COMMUNITY USE AND VOLUNTARY GIVEBACK

Fair Share allows you to list your protected idea in the Golden Goose public directory, making it visible to potential collaborators.

If someone uses your idea after seeing it there:

• They are encouraged (but not legally forced) to credit you
• They are invited to give back 10% of any profit, per the Fair Share      ethos

We are building an ecosystem of ethical reciprocity, not legal enforcement. You choose how public or private your idea is.

By participating, you agree to operate in good faithand to respect the trust-based culture of the Fair Share network.

9. INTERNATIONAL USE + LEGAL JURISDICTION

Fair Share Innovation is based in Canada and complies with Canadian law.

By using this platform, you agree that:

• All      legal questions will be resolved in the Province of Alberta
• Canadian      laws (including intellectual property, digital privacy, and online      commerce laws) will apply
• You      are not guaranteed protections under your home country's legal systems      unless explicitly stated

We welcome international users—but cannot guarantee local compliance or enforceability outside of Canada.

10. THE PLATFORM IS A WORK IN PROGRESS

Fair Share is a living system, constantly improving.

It is currently:

• In a      minimum viable product (MVP) stage
• Fully      self-funded, without external investors
• Built      with the intention to become a certified B Corporation
• Led      by someone who believes in equity, dignity, and transparency

Mistakes may happen. Bugs may appear. Updates will occur. You are using this platform as-is—and we promise to do our bestto fix issues, improve protection, and evolve fairly.

11. CONTACT US IF YOU HAVE CONCERNS

We welcome good-faith feedback. If you see a flaw, have a question, or believe your intellectual property has been used unfairly, please contact:

We believe in bridge building, not litigation. Let's talk.

12. FINAL WORD

Fair Share exists to level the playing field.
To help underdogs rise.
To protect ideas, not exploit them.
To offer access, not gatekeeping.

We are not trying to outcompete patent lawyers or invention firms—we're trying to prepare inventors so those firms can succeed faster.

If you're here to copy, compete, or exploit, we ask that you respect the blockchain timestamp and give credit where it's due.

If you're here to build something beautiful, you're welcome in this space.

We’ll meet you with honesty, effort, and trust.
