("Agreement"), and making a Contribution (as defined below) to
Cado Security, Inc. ("Cado Security"), You (as defined below) accept and
agree to the following terms and conditions for Your present and
future Contributions submitted to Cado Security. Except for the license
granted in this Agreement to Cado Security and recipients of software
distributed by Cado Security, You reserve all right, title, and interest
in and to Your Contributions.
1. Definitions
"You" or "Your" shall mean the copyright owner or the individual
authorized by the copyright owner that is entering into this
Agreement with Cado Security.
"Contribution" shall mean any original work of authorship,
including any modifications or additions to an existing work, that
is intentionally submitted by You to Cado Security for inclusion in,
or documentation of, any of the products owned or managed by
Cado Security ("Work"). For purposes of this definition, "submitted"
means any form of electronic, verbal, or written communication
sent to Cado Security or its representatives, including but not
limited to communication or electronic mailing lists, source code
control systems, and issue tracking systems that are managed by,
or on behalf of, Cado Security for the purpose of discussing and
improving the Work, but excluding communication that is
conspicuously marked or otherwise designated in writing by You as
"Not a Contribution."
2. You Grant a Copyright License to Cado Security
Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, You hereby
grant to Cado Security and recipients of software distributed by
Cado Security, a perpetual, worldwide, non-exclusive, no-charge,
royalty-free, irrevocable copyright license to reproduce, prepare
derivative works of, publicly display, publicly perform,
sublicense, and distribute Your Contributions and such derivative
works under any license and without any restrictions.
3. You Grant a Patent License to Cado Security
Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, You hereby
grant to Cado Security and to recipients of software distributed by
Cado Security a perpetual, worldwide, non-exclusive, no-charge,
royalty-free, irrevocable (except as stated in this Section)
patent license to make, have made, use, offer to sell, sell,
import, and otherwise transfer the Work under any license and
without any restrictions. The patent license You grant to
Cado Security under this Section applies only to those patent claims
licensable by You that are necessarily infringed by Your
Contributions(s) alone or by combination of Your Contributions(s)
with the Work to which such Contribution(s) was submitted. If any
entity institutes a patent litigation against You or any other
entity (including a cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit)
alleging that Your Contribution, or the Work to which You have
contributed, constitutes direct or contributory patent
infringement, any patent licenses granted to that entity under
this Agreement for that Contribution or Work shall terminate as
of the date such litigation is filed.
4. You Have the Right to Grant Licenses to Cado Security
You represent that You are legally entitled to grant the licenses
in this Agreement.
If Your employer(s) has rights to intellectual property that You
create, You represent that You have received permission to make
the Contributions on behalf of that employer, that Your employer
has waived such rights for Your Contributions, or that Your
employer has executed a separate Corporate Contributor License
Agreement with Cado Security.
5. The Contributions Are Your Original Work
You represent that each of Your Contributions are Your original
works of authorship (see Section 8 (Submissions on Behalf of
Others) for submission on behalf of others). You represent that to
Your knowledge, no other person claims, or has the right to claim,
any right in any intellectual property right related to Your
Contributions.
You also represent that You are not legally obligated, whether by
entering into an agreement or otherwise, in any way that conflicts
with the terms of this Agreement.
You represent that Your Contribution submissions include complete
details of any third-party license or other restriction (including,
but not limited to, related patents and trademarks) of which You
are personally aware and which are associated with any part of
Your Contributions.
6. You Don't Have an Obligation to Provide Support for Your Contributions
You are not expected to provide support for Your Contributions,
except to the extent You desire to provide support. You may provide
support for free, for a fee, or not at all.
6. No Warranties or Conditions
Cado Security acknowledges that unless required by applicable law or
agreed to in writing, You provide Your Contributions on an "AS IS"
BASIS, WITHOUT WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF ANY KIND, EITHER
EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY WARRANTIES
OR CONDITIONS OF TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, MERCHANTABILITY, OR
FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
7. Submission on Behalf of Others
If You wish to submit work that is not Your original creation, You
may submit it to Cado Security separately from any Contribution,
identifying the complete details of its source and of any license
or other restriction (including, but not limited to, related
patents, trademarks, and license agreements) of which You are
personally aware, and conspicuously marking the work as
"Submitted on Behalf of a Third-Party: [named here]".
8. Agree to Notify of Change of Circumstances
You agree to notify Cado Security of any facts or circumstances of
which You become aware that would make these representations
inaccurate in any respect. Email us at [email protected].
