The key point here is that those terms apply to both private and public repositories. So if you use this service, they can distribute your private designs if they so choose.

Copyright isn't an issue for hardware designs because copyright does not cover functional devices. When the PC boards of clones of your product start coming out of China, InventHub is in the clear with those terms. To be taken seriously, InventHub has to take on the obligation of protecting your trade secrets.
