2. Grant of Rights
|
|
==================
|
|
|
|
|
|
2.1 Copyright Assignment
|
|
------------------------
|
|
|
|
a. At the time the Contribution is Submitted, You assign to Us all right,
|
|
title, and interest worldwide in all Copyright covering the Contribution;
|
|
provided that this transfer is conditioned upon compliance with Section 2.3.
|
|
|
|
b. To the extent that any of the rights in Section 2.1(a) cannot be assigned
|
|
by You to Us, You grant to Us a perpetual, worldwide, exclusive, royalty-free,
|
|
transferable, irrevocable license under such non-assigned rights, with rights
|
|
to sublicense through multiple tiers of sublicensees, to practice such
|
|
non-assigned rights, including, but not limited to, the right to reproduce,
|
|
modify, display, perform and distribute the Contribution; provided that
|
|
this license is conditioned upon compliance with Section 2.3.
|
|
|
|
c. To the extent that any of the rights in Section 2.1(a) can neither be
|
|
assigned nor licensed by You to Us, You irrevocably waive and agree never to
|
|
assert such rights against Us, any of our successors in interest, or any of
|
|
our licensees, either direct or indirect; provided that this agreement not
|
|
to assert is conditioned upon compliance with Section 2.3.
|
|
|
|
d. Upon such transfer of rights to Us, the Contribution will be licenses under
|
|
the terms of the Material.
|
|
|
|
|
|
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). This license is granted only
|
|
to the extent that the exercise of the licensed rights infringes such patent claims;
|
|
and provided that this license is conditioned upon compliance with Section 2.3.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2.3 Outbound License
|
|

license the Contribution only under the terms of the license or licenses which
|
|
We are using on the Submission Date for the Material (including any rights to
|
|
adopt any future version of a license if permitted).

|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
6. Miscellaneous
|
|
================
|
|
|
|
|
|
6.1 Jurisdiction
|
|
----------------
|
|
|
|
This Agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of
|
|
Puerto Rico 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 Acceptance
|
|
--------------
|
|
|
|
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 Third parties
|
|
-----------------
|
|
|
|
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 Unmet responsibilities
|
|
--------------------------
|
|
|
|
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 Continuation
|
|
----------------
|
|
|
|
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.
