Nothing in this section gives Aucorde ownership of intellectual property that you independently own unless a separate written agreement expressly provides otherwise.

7. Prototype testing

From time to time, Aucorde may invite people to participate in prototype testing or research.

An invitation to participate does not guarantee that a person will be selected.

The terms of those separate agreements will apply to the relevant activity.

9. Product information

Aucorde may change, modify, discontinue or delay products, features, specifications, technologies or services described on the Website.

Images and visualisations may represent concepts, prototypes or proposed designs rather than final products.
