SENDGRID_CLA

These terms apply to the contribution of materials to any SendGrid, Inc. ("SendGrid", "we"  , "us" or "our") open source project ("project"), and set out the intellectual property rights you grant to SendGrid in the contributed materials. If any contribution is made on behalf of a company, the term "you" will also mean the company you identify below. If you agree to be bound by these terms, please fax or email a signed copy of these terms with the information below filled in to us at dx@sendgrid.com. You may also provide the information requested below along with the statement “I accept these terms” in the body of an email, attach the copy of these terms you received from us to that email, and send the email to us at [email address]. Please read this agreement carefully before agreeing to be bound.

1. The term "contribution" means any source code, object code, patch, tool, sample, graphic, specification, manual, documentation, or any other content or material (1) ever posted or submitted by you to the project, or (2) owned by you and otherwise ever included in the project as of the date you agree to these terms.

2. With respect to any worldwide copyrights, or copyright applications and registrations, in any contribution:
  - you hereby assign to us joint ownership, and to the extent that such assignment is or becomes invalid, ineffective or unenforceable, you hereby grant to us a perpetual, irrevocable, non­exclusive, worldwide, no­charge, royalty­free, unrestricted license to exercise all rights under those copyrights. This includes, at our option, the right to sublicense these same rights to third parties through multiple levels of sublicensees or other arrangements;
  - you agree that each of us can do all things in relation to any contribution as if each of us were the sole owners, and if one of us makes a derivative work of any contribution, the one who makes the derivative work (or has it made) will be the sole owner of that derivative work;
  - you agree that you will not assert any moral rights in any contribution against us, our licensees or transferees;
  - you agree that we may register a copyright in any contribution and exercise all ownership rights associated with it; and
  - you agree that neither of us has any duty to consult with, obtain the consent of, pay or render an accounting to the other for any use or distribution of any contribution.

3. With respect to any patents you own, or that you can license without payment to any third party, you hereby grant to us a perpetual, irrevocable, non­exclusive, worldwide, no­charge, royalty­free license to:
  - make, have made, use, sell, offer to sell, import, transfer and otherwise practice any contribution in whole or in part, alone or in combination with or included in the project or any product, work, or materials arising out of the project; and
  - at our option, to sublicense these same rights to third parties through multiple levels of sublicensees or other arrangements.

4. Except as set out above, as between you and us, you keep all right, title, and interest in any contribution. The rights that you grant to us under these terms are effective on the date the contribution was first submitted us, even if the submission took place before the date you agree to these terms.

5. With respect to any contribution, you represent that:
  - it is an original work and that you can legally grant the rights set out in these terms;
  - it does not to the best of your knowledge violate any third party's copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets or other non­patent intellectual property rights; and
  - you are authorized to sign this contract on behalf of your company (if identified below).

6. These terms will be governed by the laws of the State of Colorado (USA) and applicable U.S. Federal law. Any choice of law rules will not apply. All issues or disputes involving these terms will be brought in a court in Denver, Colorado (USA), or any court having jurisdiction over those courts, and each party irrevocably submits to the jurisdiction and venue of those courts.

3. By agreeing to this does that create license for you to use my proprietary IP unaffiliated with my contributions? This is the only disambiguation I require.
