Terms and Conditions

This platform is operated by the Open Innovation portal team at yet2 on behalf of Haleon plc and its subsidiaries comprising the Haleon group of companies ("Haleon") - together "we", "us".

You understand that by submitting your idea, you are agreeing to have it reviewed and evaluated by us. Submissions will be initially reviewed by yet2 who will first evaluate your submission to ensure it contains only non-confidential information. If yet2's initial evaluation determines your submission to contain confidential information, yet2 will reject your submission and ask you to resubmit non-confidential information only. Once the submission is deemed to contain only non-confidential information, yet2 will evaluate the submission against Haleon's needs and interests. During this process yet2 may reach out to you through the portal to ask clarifying questions on your submission and request additional non-confidential information to be added to your submission. If your submission meets Haleon's needs and interests, yet2 will pass your non-confidential submission to Haleon's External Innovation teams for further review. You will receive automated notifications from the platform notifying you as your submission progresses to different evaluation stages.

You acknowledge that there is no obligation for Haleon to review your submission nor for any compensation to be paid or owed to you by submitting your idea.

You acknowledge and agree that your submission should provide only brief and non-confidential information and that you are solely responsible for taking care of and protecting your idea. You acknowledge and agree that your submission and any details you disclose as part of your submission are entirely at your own election, discretion and risk.
