12)	Ownership of Intellectual Property

	By registering to enter the Competition, you agree as follows:
(a)	Your Team owns all the rights, title & interests in and to the Intellectual Property you create through the Competition, as joint owners, together in equal shares.

(b)	If your team’s Entry is awarded either first or second prize, all rights, title & interest in and to the Intellectual Property you create as a result, as embodied in the Entry is assigned to RMIT (or its nominee) on announcement of the prizes.  You must not commercialise (eg licence or further developer sell) the Intellectual Property, and if it contains confidential information, you must not disclose it to any third parties, even after the end of the Competition.

(c)	For all other Entries which are not awarded either first or second prize, you agree to give RMIT (or its nominee) the right to purchase the Intellectual Property in the entry for a period of up to 1 month after the Judging and Prizegiving, in consideration for the payment of AU$500.  RMIT may give you written notice that it wishes to purchase the Intellectual Property, & you agree to assign it in exchange for the payment, & will sign the necessary documents in order to effect this.

If RMIT (or its nominee) does not give you written notice within 1 month after the Judging and Prize giving, then you may offer the Intellectual Property in the Entry to third parties, or develop it yourself, provided you remove all confidential or proprietary information contained in the Entry (and any ability to reverse engineer confidential or proprietary information).

Because you are joint owners, if you choose to further work with your IP, no one of you individually can deal with it without the agreement of the whole team. This includes licensing the Intellectual Property or selling it. Your Team can decide if, between yourselves, you want to own specific parts of Intellectual Property separately or in different proportions, or if you want to be able to deal with it individually – but this is something you have to work out, agree & document yourselves, separately. You can do this before or after the Competition.

1	This Competition
1.1	This hackathon (Competition) is run by RMIT (ABN 49 781 030 034) (the Promoter / we / us / our) on these T&Cs, including the Details above (Terms). By registering for the Competition, all entrants (you / your) agree to these Terms. The Competition starts on Registration Open & ends when the Results are announced.
1.2	Each Team is responsible for its own membership, cooperation, & settling any disputes. Neither RMIT (or our representatives, contractors, employees, directors, officers licensors, service providers, agents, Venue operators), the Sponsors, nor anyone else connected with the Competition (our Affiliates) is responsible for any Team disputes, including about contribution, cooperation, distribution of Prizes or Intellectual Property.
1.3	If you don’t comply with these Terms, you may be disqualified. If one Team member is disqualified, we may also disqualify the whole team.

2	Intellectual Property
2.1	Intellectual Property (or IP) includes all unregistered rights in respect of copyright, designs, circuit layouts, trade marks, trade secrets, know-how, moral rights, confidential information, patents, inventions, discoveries & domain names.
2.2	You promise that your Entry it is based on the original ideas of you & your Team, & that none of you have copied anything from any third party. Your Entry must not be based on, or substantially reproduce:
(a)	any other entry or idea which you or anyone in your Team has previously submitted in another competition, promotion, tender process, request for funding, application, assignment, exam or other assessment process for any educational institution.
(b)	anything which you have, or anyone in your Team has, developed in the course of your (or their) employment.
Your Entry can, however, be based on & incorporate your other original ideas & use things you have created yourself earlier – nothing changes your ownership of these ideas & works.
2.3	Your Entry must not infringe any third party IP rights, or contain confidential information which you do not have the right to include. Your Entry must not contain any third party software; however it can utilise open source software, open hardware & creative commons licenced works, & it may use off the shelf development tool kits within the terms of the applicable licences (eg Powerpoint).
2.4	In addition to any transfer of IP elsewhere in these Terms, you grant us a non-exclusive, non-transferable, worldwide, royalty-free licence to communicate, publish, display & perform any part of your Entry (including IP), as well as your name, photos of you, & details of your expertise, in all media, for the purposes of promoting or marketing us, or as part of our own internal purposes in recording, reviewing & improving our services & endeavours.
2.5	If your Team wins a Prize, you will participate in any media interviews or press events, as reasonably requested by us. We may require you to provide a written statement or quotes about the Competition, which we may edit & publish. You must not, however, use any of RMIT’s logos or trade marks on any documents, press or materials, without our prior written consent.
2.6	Under RMIT’s Intellectual Property Policy, if you are a staff member (which includes PhD candidates & researchers) any IP which you create in the course of your employment, or which utilises RMIT’s Intellectual Property or resources (such as equipment or facilities), will be owned by RMIT. This is based on your contract with RMIT.  It’s a standard position in employment contracts that IP created by employees in the course of their employment will be owned by their employer. If there are exceptions to this, which means that your research is not owned by RMIT they will usually be set out in a separate contract with you.
2.7	If you are an RMIT staff member who is participating in this Competition, you might inadvertently use IP which belongs to RMIT as part of your Entry, or you might use RMIT resources in creating the Entry.  Using RMIT’s IP or resources potentially means that the IP in the Entry may be owned by RMIT, jointly with you and your team members.
2.8	If you’re not sure about whether you are a staff member, or whether your participation in this Competition will potentially involve you using RMIT’s IP, then talk to your RMIT manager or supervisor. You should be clear about when you are & aren’t using our IP or resources, so that there are no issues about ownership of the IP in your Team’s Entry.
2.9	We encourage you to hashtag, geotag, or check-in, but if you otherwise want to use our IP (such as content from our websites or RMIT branding), you need to get our written permission first, which we may not be able to give. We may also apply a licence fee, royalty, & other conditions, to your use of our IP.
