Prisma Data, Inc. Contributor Agreement

Contributing to Prisma

Thank you for contributing code to Prisma! Like many projects, we need a contributor license agreement from you before we can merge in your changes.You only need to fill out this agreement once. In brief, by submitting your code to the Prisma project, you are granting us a right to use that code under the terms of this Agreement, including providing it to others. You are also certifying that you wrote it, and that you are allowed to license it to us. You are not giving up your copyright in your work. Contributor License Agreements are important because they define the chain of ownership of a piece of software. Some companies won't allow the use of free software without clear agreements around code ownership. That's why many open source projects collect similar agreements from contributors. Please read this document carefully before signing and keep a copy for your records. (You'll get an email confirmation when you electronically sign the CLA.) If you have questions about these terms, or if you cannot submit an electronic copy, please contact us at support@prisma.io.

The Prisma Data, Inc. Contributor Agreement ("PCA") Version 2.0

You accept and agree to the following terms and conditions for Your present and future Contributions submitted to Prisma Data, Inc.. Except for the license granted herein to Prisma Data, Inc. and recipients of software distributed by Prisma Data, Inc., You reserve all right, title, and interest in and to Your Contributions.

  1. Definitions. "You" (or "Your") shall mean the copyright owner or legal entity authorized by the copyright owner that is making this Agreement with Prisma Data, Inc. For legal entities, the entity making a Contribution and all other entities that control, are controlled by, or are under common control with that entity are considered to be a single Contributor. For the purposes of this definition, "control" means (i) the power, direct or indirect, to cause the direction or management of such entity, whether by contract or otherwise, or (ii) ownership of fifty percent (50%) or more of the outstanding shares, or (iii) beneficial ownership of such entity. "Contribution" shall mean any original work of authorship, including any modifications or additions to an existing work, that is intentionally submitted by You to Prisma Data, Inc. for inclusion in, or documentation of, any of the products owned or managed by Prisma Data, Inc. (the "Work"). For the purposes of this definition, "submitted" means any form of electronic, verbal, or written communication sent to Prisma Data, Inc. or its representatives, including but not limited to communication on electronic mailing lists, source code control systems, and issue tracking systems that are managed by, or on behalf of, Prisma Data, Inc. for the purpose of discussing and improving the Work, but excluding communication that is conspicuously marked or otherwise designated in writing by You as "Not a Contribution."

  2. Grant of Copyright License. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, You hereby grant to Prisma Data, Inc. and to recipients of software distributed by Prisma Data, Inc. a perpetual, worldwide, non-exclusive, no-charge, royalty-free, irrevocable copyright license to reproduce, prepare derivative works of, publicly display, publicly perform, sublicense, and distribute Your Contributions and such derivative works.

  3. Grant of Patent License. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, You hereby grant to Prisma Data, Inc. and to recipients of software distributed by Prisma Data, Inc. a perpetual, worldwide, non-exclusive, no-charge, royalty-free, irrevocable (except as stated in this section) patent license to make, have made, use, offer to sell, sell, import, and otherwise transfer the Work, where such license applies only to those patent claims licensable by You that are necessarily infringed by Your Contribution(s) alone or by combination of Your Contribution(s) with the Work to which such Contribution(s) was submitted. If any entity institutes patent litigation against You or any other entity (including a cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that your Contribution, or the Work to which you have contributed, constitutes direct or contributory patent infringement, then any patent licenses granted to that entity under this Agreement for that Contribution or Work shall terminate as of the date such litigation is filed.

  4. You represent that you are legally entitled to grant the above license. If your employer(s) has rights to intellectual property that you create that includes your Contributions, you represent that you have received permission to make Contributions on behalf of that employer, that your employer has waived such rights for your Contributions to Prisma Data, Inc..

  5. You represent that each of Your Contributions is Your original creation (see section 7 for submissions on behalf of others). You represent that Your Contribution submissions include complete details of any third-party license or any other restriction (including, but not limited to, related patents and trademarks, whether such patents or trademarks are Yours, Your employer’s or any other party’s) of which you are personally aware and which are associated with any part of Your Contributions.

  6. You are not expected to provide support for Your Contributions, except to the extent You desire to provide support. You may provide support for free, for a fee, or not at all. Unless required by applicable law or agreed in writing, You provide Your Contributions on an "AS IS" BASIS, WITHOUT WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF ANY KIND, either express or implied, including, without limitation, any warranties or conditions of TITLE, NON- INFRINGEMENT, MERCHANTABILITY, or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.

  7. Should You wish to submit work that is not Your original creation, You may submit it to Prisma Data, Inc. separately from any Contribution, identifying the complete details of its source and of any license or other restriction (including, but not limited to, related patents, trademarks, and license agreements) of which you are personally aware, and conspicuously marking the work as "Submitted on behalf of a third-party: [named here]".

  8. You agree to notify Prisma Data, Inc. of any facts or circumstances of which you become aware that would make these representations inaccurate in any respect.

This Agreement is derived from The Apache Software Foundation’s Individual Contributor License Agreement V2.0. Prisma Data, Inc.’s substantive changes from that agreement are: (1) changes to identify Prisma Data, Inc. and Prisma Data, Inc.’s project as the recipients of Your Contribution and associated changes in the introductory language and signature blocks, (2) removal of references to the Corporate Contribution License Agreement, and (3) clarification that You must disclose both third party and Your own license or intellectual property restrictions associated with Your Contribution. Prisma Data, Inc. is not associated with The Apache Software Foundation.
