Contributor License Agreement (CLA)
1. Purpose of the CLA
Thank you for your interest in contributing to Getcito, an open-source project managed by GetCito (the "Company"). This Contributor License Agreement ("CLA") clarifies the intellectual property licenses granted with contributions. It protects you, the project, the Company, and its users. It does not change your right to use your own contributions for any other purpose.
2. Copyright Ownership
You retain copyright ownership, title, and all other rights and interests in your contributions, except for the license specifically granted to the project under this agreement.
3. License Granted to the Project
You hereby grant to the Company and all recipients of the software distributed by the Company 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.
4. Patent Grant
Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, you hereby grant to the Company and recipients of the software a perpetual, worldwide, non-exclusive, no-charge, royalty-free, irrevocable patent license to make, have made, use, offer to sell, sell, import, and otherwise transfer the project. This applies only to those patent claims licensable by you that are necessarily infringed by your contributions alone or by combination with the project.
5. Right to Modify Contributions
The Company reserves the right to review, accept, modify, or reject any contribution submitted to the project. You acknowledge that your contribution may be modified, adapted, or combined with other code within the project.
6. Contributor Representations
You represent that you are legally entitled to grant this license. If your employer has rights to the intellectual property you create, 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, or that your employer has executed a separate Corporate CLA.
7. Original Work Declaration
You represent that each of your contributions is your original creation. You also represent that your submissions include complete details of any third-party license or other restrictions (including patents and trademarks) of which you are aware.
8. Third-Party Code Declaration
Should you wish to submit work that is not your original creation, you may submit it to the Company separately from any contribution, identifying the complete details of its source and any license or other restrictions. Such work must be conspicuously marked as "Submitted on behalf of a third-party: [named here]".
9. Legal Disclaimer
You are not expected to provide support for your contributions. Unless required by applicable law or agreed to 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.
