LAYER LABS WAVS - CONTRIBUTOR LICENSE AGREEMENT

CONTRIBUTOR LICENSE AGREEMENT

This Contributor License Agreement ("CLA") must be accepted by each Contributor to WAVS (”the Project”), indicating agreement with the license terms below. BY clicking on ACCEPT, You accept and agree to the following terms and conditions for Your Contributions (present and future) that you submit to the Project. Except for the license granted herein to the Layer Labs Ltd. (“the Company”) and recipients of software distributed by the Company, 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 the Company. 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 the Company for inclusion in, or documentation of, the Project. For the purposes of this definition, "submitted" means any form of electronic, verbal, or written communication sent to the Company 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, the Company for the purpose of discussing and improving the Project, 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 the Company and to recipients of 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.

  3. Grant of Patent License. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, You hereby grant to the Company and to recipients of software distributed by the Company 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 Project, 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 Project 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 Project 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 Project 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 the Company, or that your employer has executed a separate Corporate CLA with the Company.

  5. You represent that each of Your Contributions is Your original creation. You represent that Your Contribution submissions include complete details of any third- party license or other restriction (including, but not limited to, related patents and trademarks) 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 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.

  7. In addition to the terms and conditions set forth above, You agree that your Contribution can be distributed by Company and other parties pursuant to and open source software license, as set forth in Section 8 below, that your Contribution is subject to the applicable open source software license and that you will comply with all requirements of the applicable open source software license.

  8. YOU FURTHER AGREE THAT YOUR CONTRIBUTIONS AND THE PROJECT WILL INITIALLY BE DISTRIBUTED PURSUANT TO THE GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE V3. THE COMPANY, AT ITS COMPLETE AND SOLE DISCRETION, MAY, BUT IS NOT REQUIRED TO, CHANGE THE DISTRIBUTION LICENSE OF YOUR CONTRIBUTION TO A PERMISSIVE OPEN SOURCE LICENSE, SUCH AS AN MIT, BSD, OR APACHE LICENSE, AT ANY TIME.
