# Chimbori Individual Contributor License Agreement | |
Thank you for your interest in contributing to open source software projects (“Projects”) made | |
available by Chimbori. | |
In order to clarify the intellectual property license granted with Contributions from any person or | |
entity, Chimbori must have a Contributor License Agreement ("CLA") on file that has been signed by | |
each Contributor, indicating agreement to the license terms below. This license is for your | |
protection as a Contributor as well as the protection of Chimbori; it does not change your rights to | |
use your own Contributions for any other purpose. This CLA sets out the terms governing any source | |
code, object code, bug fixes, configuration changes, tools, specifications, documentation, data, | |
materials, feedback, information or other works of authorship that you submit or have submitted, in | |
any form and in any manner, to Chimbori in respect of any of the Projects (collectively | |
“Contributions”). | |
If you have any questions respecting this Agreement, please contact [email protected]. | |
## Definitions. | |
"You" (or "Your") shall mean the copyright owner or legal entity authorized by the copyright owner | |
that is making this Agreement with Chimbori. For legal entities, the entity making a Contribution | |
and all other entities that control, are controlled by, or are under common control with that entity | |
are considered to be a single Contributor. For the purposes of this definition, "control" means (i) | |
the power, direct or indirect, to cause the direction or management of such entity, whether by | |
contract or otherwise, or (ii) ownership of fifty percent (50%) or more of the outstanding shares, | |
or (iii) beneficial ownership of such entity. | |
"Contribution" shall mean any original work of authorship, including any modifications or additions | |
to an existing work, that is intentionally submitted by You to Chimbori for inclusion in, or | |
documentation of, any of the products owned or managed by Chimbori (the "Projects"). For the | |
purposes of this definition, "submitted" means any form of electronic, verbal, or written | |
communication sent to Chimbori or its representatives, including but not limited to communication on | |
electronic mailing lists, source code control systems, and issue tracking systems that are managed | |
by, or on behalf of, Chimbori for the purpose of discussing and improving the Projects, but | |
excluding communication that is conspicuously marked or otherwise designated in writing by You as | |
"Not a Contribution." | |
You accept and agree to the following terms and conditions for Your present and future Contributions | |
submitted to Chimbori. Except for the license granted herein to Chimbori and recipients of software | |
distributed by Chimbori, You reserve all right, title, and interest in and to Your Contributions. | |
## Copyright License. | |
You hereby grant, and agree to grant, to Chimbori a non-exclusive, perpetual, irrevocable, | |
worldwide, fully-paid, royalty-free, transferable copyright license to reproduce, prepare derivative | |
works of, publicly display, publicly perform, and distribute your Contributions and such derivative | |
works, with the right to sublicense the foregoing rights through multiple tiers of sublicensees. | |
## Patent License. | |
You hereby grant, and agree to grant, to Chimbori, and to recipients of software distributed by | |
Chimbori, a non-exclusive, perpetual, irrevocable, no-charge, worldwide, fully-paid, royalty-free, | |
transferable patent license to make, have made, use, offer to sell, sell, import, and otherwise | |
transfer your Contributions, where such license applies only to those patent claims licensable by | |
you that are necessarily infringed by your Contributions alone or by combination of your | |
Contributions with the Project to which such Contributions were submitted, with the right to | |
sublicense the foregoing rights through multiple tiers of sublicensees. If any entity institutes | |
patent litigation against You or any other entity (including a cross-claim or counterclaim in a | |
lawsuit) alleging that your Contribution, or the Projects to which you have contributed, constitutes | |
direct or contributory patent infringement, then any patent licenses granted to that entity under | |
this Agreement for that Contribution or Project shall terminate as of the date such litigation is | |
filed. | |
## Moral Rights. | |
To the fullest extent permitted under applicable law, you hereby waive, and agree not to assert, all | |
of your “moral rights” in or relating to your Contributions for the benefit of Chimbori, its | |
assigns, and their respective direct and indirect sublicensees. | |
## Third Party Content/Rights. | |
If your Contribution includes or is based on any source code, object code, bug fixes, configuration | |
changes, tools, specifications, documentation, data, materials, feedback, information or other works | |
of authorship that were not authored by you (“Third Party Content”) or if you are aware of any third | |
party intellectual property or proprietary rights associated with your Contribution (“Third Party | |
Rights”), then you agree to include with the submission of your Contribution full details respecting | |
such Third Party Content and Third Party Rights, including, without limitation, identification of | |
which aspects of your Contribution contain Third Party Content or are associated with Third Party | |
Rights, the owner/author of the Third Party Content and Third Party Rights, where you obtained the | |
Third Party Content, and any applicable third party license terms or restrictions respecting the | |
Third Party Content and Third Party Rights. For greater certainty, the foregoing obligations | |
respecting the identification of Third Party Content and Third Party Rights do not apply to any | |
portion of a Project that is incorporated into your Contribution to that same Project. | |
## Representations. | |
You represent that, other than the Third Party Content and Third Party Rights identified by you in | |
accordance with this Agreement, you are the sole author of your Contributions and are legally | |
entitled to grant the foregoing licenses and waivers in respect of your Contributions. If your | |
Contributions were created in the course of your employment with your past or present employer(s), | |
you represent that such employer(s) has authorized you to make your Contributions on behalf of such | |
employer(s) or such employer(s) has waived all of their right, title or interest in or to your | |
Contributions. | |
## Disclaimer. | |
To the fullest extent permitted under applicable law, your Contributions are provided on an "as is" | |
basis, without any warranties or conditions, express or implied, including, without limitation, any | |
implied warranties or conditions of non-infringement, merchantability or fitness for a particular | |
purpose. You are not required to provide support for your Contributions, except to the extent you | |
desire to provide support. | |
## No Obligation. | |
You acknowledge that Chimbori is under no obligation to use or incorporate your Contributions into | |
any of the Projects. The decision to use or incorporate your Contributions into any of the Projects | |
will be made at the sole discretion of Chimbori or its authorized delegates. | |
## Disputes. | |
This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of | |
California, United States of America, without giving effect to its principles or rules regarding | |
conflicts of laws, other than such principles directing application of California law. The parties | |
hereby submit to venue in, and jurisdiction of the courts located in San Mateo County, California | |
for purposes relating to this Agreement. In the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement | |
shall be held by a court or other tribunal of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable, the | |
remaining portions hereof shall remain in full force and effect. | |
## Assignment. | |
You agree that Chimbori may assign this Agreement, and all of its rights, obligations and licenses | |
hereunder. | |
You agree to notify Chimbori of any facts or circumstances of which you become aware that would make | |
these representations inaccurate in any respect. |
