Thank you for your interest in contributing to Gratheon ("We" or "Us").
This Contributor License Agreement ("Agreement") documents the rights granted
by contributors to Us. To make this document effective, please sign it and
send it to Us by email at contributors@gratheon.com, or submit it through our

This is a legally binding document, so please read it carefully before agreeing
to it. The Agreement may cover more than one software project managed by Us.
## 1. Definitions

**"Contribution"** means any work of authorship that is Submitted by You to Us
in which You own or assert ownership of the Copyright.
**"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 work of authorship which is made available by Us to
third parties. When this Agreement covers more than one software project, the
Material means the work of authorship to which the Contribution was Submitted.
**"Submit"** means any form of electronic, verbal, or written communication
sent to Us or our representatives, including but not limited to electronic
mailing lists, source code control systems, and issue tracking systems.
**"Submission Date"** means the date on which You Submit a Contribution to Us.
## 2. Grant of Rights
### 2.1 Copyright License
(a) You retain ownership of the Copyright in Your Contribution and have the
same rights to use or license the Contribution which You would have had
without entering into the Agreement.
(b) To the maximum extent permitted by the relevant law, You grant to Us a
perpetual, worldwide, non-exclusive, transferable, royalty-free,
irrevocable license under the Copyright covering the Contribution, with
the right to sublicense such rights through multiple tiers of
sublicensees, to reproduce, modify, display, perform and distribute the
Contribution as part of the Material; provided that this license is
conditioned upon compliance with Section 2.3.
### 2.2 Patent License
For patent claims including, without limitation, method, process, and apparatus
claims which You own, control or have the right to grant, now or in the future,
You grant to Us a perpetual, worldwide, non-exclusive, transferable,
royalty-free, irrevocable patent license, with the right to sublicense these
rights to multiple tiers of sublicensees, 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).
### 2.3 Outbound License
Based on the grant of rights in Sections 2.1 and 2.2, if We include Your
Contribution in a Material, We may license the Contribution under any license,
including copyleft, permissive, commercial, or proprietary licenses. As a
condition on the exercise of this right, We agree to also license the
Contribution under the terms of the license or licenses which We are using for
the Material on the Submission Date.
### 2.4 Moral Rights
If moral rights apply to the Contribution, to the maximum extent permitted by
law, You waive and agree not to assert such moral rights against Us or our
successors in interest, or any of our licensees, either direct or indirect.
### 2.5 Our Rights
You acknowledge that We are not obligated to use Your Contribution as part of
the Material and may decide to include any Contribution We consider appropriate.
### 2.6 Reservation of Rights
Any rights not expressly licensed under this section are expressly reserved by
You.
## 3. Agreement
You confirm that:
(a) You have the legal authority to enter into this Agreement.
(b) You own the Copyright and patent claims covering the Contribution which are
required to grant the rights under Section 2.
(c) The grant of rights under Section 2 does not violate any grant of rights
which You have made to third parties, including Your employer. If You are
an employee, You have had Your employer approve this Agreement or sign the
Entity version of this document. If You are less than eighteen years old,
please have Your parents or guardian sign the Agreement.
(d) You have followed the instructions in the Material, if any, that explain
the process for Submitting Contributions.
## 4. Disclaimer
EXCEPT FOR THE EXPRESS WARRANTIES IN SECTION 3, 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.
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 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. Miscellaneous
6.1 This Agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance with the
laws of Estonia excluding its conflicts of law provisions. Under certain
circumstances, the governing law in this section might be superseded by
the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of
Goods ("UN Convention") and the parties intend to avoid the application
of the UN Convention to this Agreement and, thus, exclude the application
of the UN Convention in its entirety to this Agreement.
6.2 This Agreement sets out the entire agreement between You and Us for Your
Contributions to Us and overrides all other agreements or understandings.
6.3 If You or We assign the rights or obligations received through this
Agreement to a third party, as a condition of the assignment, that third
party must agree in writing to abide by all the rights and obligations in
the Agreement.
6.4 The failure of either party to require performance by the other party of
any provision of this Agreement in one situation shall not affect the right
of a party to require such performance at any time in the future. A waiver
of performance under a provision in one situation shall not be considered a
waiver of the performance of the provision in the future or a waiver of the
provision in its entirety.
6.5 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 which 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.
