Contributor Agreement
Thank you for your interest in contributing to Woboq Code Browser ("We" or "Us").
The purpose of this contributor agreement ("Agreement") is to clarify and
document the rights granted by contributors to Us.
1. DEFINITIONS "You" means the Individual Copyright owner who submits a
Contribution to Us. If You are an employee and submit the Contribution as part
of your employment, You have had Your employer approve this Agreement or sign
the Entity version of this document.
Contribution means any original work of authorship (software and/or
documentation) including any modifications or additions to an existing work,
Submitted by You to Us, in which You own the Copyright. If You do not own the
Copyright in the entire work of authorship, please contact Us at
contact@woboq.com.
Copyright means all rights protecting works of authorship owned or controlled
by You, including copyright, moral and neighboring rights, as appropriate, for
the full term of their existence including any extensions by You.
Material means the software or documentation made available by Us to third
parties. When this Agreement covers more than one software project, the
Material means the software or documentation to which the Contribution was
Submitted. After You Submit the Contribution, it may be included in the
Material.
Submit means any form of physical, electronic, or written communication sent to
Us, including but not limited to electronic mailing lists, source code control
systems, and issue tracking systems that are managed by, or on behalf of, Us,
but excluding communication that is conspicuously marked or otherwise
designated in writing by You as Not a Contribution.
Submission Date means the date You Submit a Contribution to Us.

2. LICENSE GRANT
2.1 Copyright License to Us
Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, You hereby grant to Us a
worldwide, royalty-free, NON-exclusive, perpetual and irrevocable license, with
the right to transfer an unlimited number of non-exclusive licenses or to grant
sublicenses to third parties, under the Copyright covering the Contribution to
use the Contribution by all means, including, but not limited to:
to publish the Contribution, to modify the Contribution, to prepare derivative
works based upon or containing the Contribution and to combine the Contribution
with other software code, to reproduce the Contribution in original or modified
form, to distribute, to make the Contribution available to the public, display
and publicly perform the Contribution in original or modified form.
2.2 Moral Rights
remain unaffected to the extent they are recognized and not waivable by
applicable law. Notwithstanding, You may add your name in the header of the
source code files of Your Contribution and We will respect this attribution when
using Your Contribution.
3. PATENTS
3.1 Patent License
Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement You hereby grant to us a
worldwide, royalty-free, non-exclusive, perpetual and irrevocable (except as
stated in Section 3.2) patent license, with the right to transfer an unlimited
number of non-exclusive licenses or to grant sublicenses to third parties, 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 applies to all patents owned or controlled by
You, whether already acquired or hereafter acquired, that would be infringed by
making, having made, using, selling, offering for sale, importing or otherwise
transferring of Your Contribution(s) alone or by combination of Your
Contribution(s) with the Material.
3.2 Revocation of Patent License
You reserve the right to revoke the patent license stated in section 3.1 if we
make any infringement claim that is targeted at your Contribution and not
asserted for a Defensive Purpose. An assertion of claims of the Patents shall be
considered for a "Defensive Purpose" if the claims are asserted against an
entity that has filed, maintained, threatened, or voluntarily participated in a
patent infringement lawsuit against Us or any of Our licensees.
4. DISCLAIMER
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 AND BY US TO YOU. 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 OR US
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. Approximation of Disclaimer and Damage Waiver
IF THE DISCLAIMER AND DAMAGE WAIVER MENTIONED IN SECTION 4 AND SECTION 5 CANNOT
BE GIVEN LEGAL EFFECT UNDER APPLICABLE LOCAL LAW, REVIEWING COURTS SHALL APPLY
LOCAL LAW THAT MOST CLOSELY APPROXIMATES AN ABSOLUTE WAIVER OF ALL CIVIL LIABILITY
IN CONNECTION WITH THE CONTRIBUTION.
7. Term
7.1 This Agreement shall come into effect upon Your acceptance of the
terms and conditions.
7.2 In the event of a termination of this Agreement Sections 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8
shall survive such termination and shall remain in full force thereafter. For
the avoidance of doubt, Contributions that are already licensed under a free and
open source license at the date of the termination shall remain in full force
after the termination of this Agreement.
8. Miscellaneous
8.1 This Agreement and all disputes, claims, actions, suits or
other proceedings arising out of this agreement or relating in any way to it
shall be governed by the laws of Germany excluding its private international law
provisions.
8.2 This Agreement sets out the entire agreement between You and Us for Your
Contributions to Us and overrides all other agreements or understandings.
8.3 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 that 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.
8.4 You agree to notify Us of any facts or circumstances of which you become
aware that would make this Agreement inaccurate in any respect.
