2\. Grant of Rights
-------------------

### 2.1 Copyright License

  1. You retain ownership of the Copyright in Your Contribution and have the same
rights to use or license the Contribution which You would have had without
entering into the Agreement.

  2. To the maximum extent permitted by the relevant law, You grant to Us a
perpetual, worldwide, non-exclusive, transferable, royalty-free, irrevocable
license under the Copyright covering the Contribution, with the right to
sublicense such rights through multiple tiers of sublicensees, to reproduce,
modify, display, perform and distribute the Contribution as part of the
Material; provided that this license is conditioned upon compliance with [Section
2.3](#2.3-outbound-license).

### 2.2 Patent License

For patent claims including, without limitation, method, process, and apparatus
claims which You own, control or have the right to grant, now or in the future,
You grant to Us a perpetual, worldwide, non-exclusive, transferable,
royalty-free, irrevocable patent license, with the right to sublicense these
rights to multiple tiers of sublicensees, to make, have made, use, sell, offer
for sale, import and otherwise transfer the Contribution and the Contribution in
combination with the Material (and portions of such combination). This license
is granted only to the extent that the exercise of the licensed rights infringes
such patent claims; and provided that this license is conditioned upon
compliance with [Section 2.3](#2.3-outbound-license).

### 2.3 Outbound License

Based on the grant of rights in [Sections 2.1](#2.1-copyright-license)
and [2.2](#2.2-patent-license), if We include Your Contribution in a Material,
We may license the Contribution under any license, including copyleft, permissive,
commercial, or proprietary licenses. As a condition on the exercise of this right,
We agree to also license the Contribution under the terms of the license or
licenses which We are using for the Material on the Submission Date.

### 2.4 Moral Rights

If moral rights apply to the Contribution, to the maximum
extent permitted by law, You waive and agree not to assert such moral rights
against Us or our successors in interest, or any of our licensees, either direct
or indirect.

### 2.5 Our Rights

You acknowledge that We are not obligated to use Your
Contribution as part of the Material and may decide to include any Contribution
We consider appropriate.

### 2.6 Reservation of Rights

Any rights not expressly licensed under this section
are expressly reserved by You.

You confirm that:

1. You have the legal authority to enter into this Agreement.

2. You own the Copyright and patent claims covering the Contribution which are
required to grant the rights under [Section 2](#2.-grant-of-rights).

3. The grant of rights under [Section 2](#2.-grant-of-rights) does not violate
any grant of rights which You have made to third parties, including Your employer.
If You are an employee, You have had Your employer approve this Agreement or sign
the Entity version of this document. If You are less than eighteen years old,
please have Your parents or guardian sign the Agreement.

EXCEPT FOR THE EXPRESS WARRANTIES IN [SECTION 3](#3.-agreement), THE CONTRIBUTION
IS PROVIDED *"AS IS"*. MORE PARTICULARLY, ALL EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTIES INCLUDING,
WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR
PURPOSE AND NON-INFRINGEMENT ARE EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMED BY YOU TO US. TO THE
EXTENT THAT ANY SUCH WARRANTIES CANNOT BE DISCLAIMED, SUCH WARRANTY IS LIMITED
IN DURATION TO THE MINIMUM PERIOD PERMITTED BY LAW.


5\. Consequential Damage Waiver
-------------------------------

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL YOU BE
LIABLE FOR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, LOSS OF ANTICIPATED SAVINGS, LOSS OF DATA,
INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL AND EXEMPLARY DAMAGES ARISING OUT
OF THIS AGREEMENT REGARDLESS OF THE LEGAL OR EQUITABLE THEORY (CONTRACT, TORT OR
OTHERWISE) UPON WHICH THE CLAIM IS BASED.


6\. Miscellaneous
-----------------

1. This Agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws
of excluding its conflicts of law provisions. Under certain circumstances, the
governing law in this section might be superseded by the United Nations
Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (*"UN Convention"*)
and the parties intend to avoid the application of the UN Convention to this
Agreement and, thus, exclude the application of the UN Convention in its
entirety to this Agreement.

2. This Agreement sets out the entire agreement between You and Us for Your
Contributions to Us and overrides all other agreements or understandings.

3. If You or We assign the rights or obligations received through this
Agreement to a third party, as a condition of the assignment, that third party
must agree in writing to abide by all the rights and obligations in the
Agreement.

4. The failure of either party to require performance by the other party of any
provision of this Agreement in one situation shall not affect the right of a
party to require such performance at any time in the future. A waiver of
performance under a provision in one situation shall not be considered a waiver
of the performance of the provision in the future or a waiver of the provision
in its entirety.

5. If any provision of this Agreement is found void and unenforceable, such
provision will be replaced to the extent possible with a provision that comes
closest to the meaning of the original provision and which is enforceable. The
terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement shall apply notwithstanding any
failure of essential purpose of this Agreement or any limited remedy to the
maximum extent possible under law.
