|
| 41 |

|
| 43 | including any modifications or additions to an existing work, that
|
| 44 | is intentionally submitted by You to StrongLoop for inclusion in,

|
| 59 | grant to StrongLoop and recipients of software distributed by
|
| 60 | StrongLoop, a perpetual, worldwide, non-exclusive, no-charge,
|
| 61 | royalty-free, irrevocable copyright license to reproduce, prepare
|
| 62 | derivative works of, publicly display, publicly perform,

|
| 67 |
|
| 68 | Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, You hereby
|
| 69 | grant to StrongLoop and to recipients of software distributed by

| 80 | entity (including a cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit)
|
| 81 | alleging that Your Contribution, or the Work to which You have
|
| 82 | contributed, constitutes direct or contributory patent
|
| 83 | infringement, any patent licenses granted to that entity under
|
| 84 | this Agreement for that Contribution or Work shall terminate as
|
| 85 | of the date such litigation is filed.
|
| 86 |
|
| 87 | 4. You Have the Right to Grant Licenses to StrongLoop
|

|
| 89 | You represent that You are legally entitled to grant the licenses
|
| 90 | in this Agreement.
|
| 91 |
|
| 92 | If Your employer(s) has rights to intellectual property that You
|
| 93 | create, You represent that You have received permission to make
|
| 94 | the Contributions on behalf of that employer, that Your employer
|
| 95 | has waived such rights for Your Contributions, or that Your
|
| 96 | employer has executed a separate Corporate Contributor License
|
| 97 | Agreement with StrongLoop.
|
| 98 |
|
| 99 | 5. The Contributions Are Your Original Work
|
| 100 |
|
| 101 | You represent that each of Your Contributions are Your original
|
| 102 | works of authorship (see Section 8 (Submissions on Behalf of
|
| 103 | Others) for submission on behalf of others). You represent that to
|
| 104 | Your knowledge, no other person claims, or has the right to claim,
|
| 105 | any right in any intellectual property right related to Your
|
| 106 | Contributions.
|
| 107 |
|
| 108 | You also represent that You are not legally obligated, whether by
|
| 109 | entering into an agreement or otherwise, in any way that conflicts
|
| 110 | with the terms of this Agreement.
|
| 111 |
|
| 112 | You represent that Your Contribution submissions include complete
|
| 113 | details of any third-party license or other restriction (including,
|

|
| 115 | are personally aware and which are associated with any part of
|
| 116 | Your Contributions.
|

|
| 118 | 6. You Don't Have an Obligation to Provide Support for Your Contributions
|
| 119 |
|
| 120 | You are not expected to provide support for Your Contributions,
|
| 121 | except to the extent You desire to provide support. You may provide
|
| 122 | support for free, for a fee, or not at all.
|
| 123 |
|
| 124 | 6. No Warranties or Conditions
|
| 125 |
|
| 126 | StrongLoop acknowledges that unless required by applicable law or
|
| 127 | agreed to in writing, You provide Your Contributions on an "AS IS"
|
| 128 | BASIS, WITHOUT WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF ANY KIND, EITHER
|
| 129 | EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY WARRANTIES
|
| 130 | OR CONDITIONS OF TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, MERCHANTABILITY, OR

|
| 132 |
|
| 133 | 7. Submission on Behalf of Others
|
| 134 |
|
| 135 | If You wish to submit work that is not Your original creation, You

|
| 137 | identifying the complete details of its source and of any license
|
| 138 | or other restriction (including, but not limited to, related
|
| 139 | patents, trademarks, and license agreements) of which You are
|
| 140 | personally aware, and conspicuously marking the work as
|
| 141 | "Submitted on Behalf of a Third-Party: [named here]".
|
| 142 |
|
| 143 | 8. Agree to Notify of Change of Circumstances
|
| 144 |
|
| 145 | You agree to notify StrongLoop of any facts or circumstances of
|
| 146 | which You become aware that would make these representations
|
| 147 | inaccurate in any respect. Email us at callback@strongloop.com.
