CODE CHALLENGE TERMS & CONDITIONS

Code Quarterly is hosting its first Code Challenge, seeking innovative code to be shared on our site. The Code Challenge is not a contest. There are no prizes and we will not award any monetary compensation or judge anyone a “winner” in connection with the Code Challenge. Our goal is to provide a forum in which to share new and creative code with the community.

By sending us your code, you agree to the following terms and conditions:

Publication of Your Code & Royalty-Free License

We will post all eligible code entries (“Submissions”) on our website as Submissions to the Code Challenge. In connection with each Submission, we will post the name of the author. This may be your full name or any nickname, screen-name or pseudonym you select. Submissions are eligible provided that they comply with our Code Submission Standards, described below.

By providing us with your Submission, you are granting us (including our employees, managers, members, officers, agents, licensees, assigns, and affiliated entities) a non-exclusive, non-revocable, royalty-free license to use your Submission in any manner and in any and all media whether now known or hereafter devised throughout the universe in perpetuity. We may publish all or part of your Submission in one or more print editions of our Code Quarterly magazine. You further grant us permission to disclose, display, publish, distribute, use, print and reprint your name in connection with your Submission and to use it in advertising and promotions relating to Code Quarterly. You agree that we may alter or modify your Submission and provide critique or criticism of it.

You agree and understand that we do not control or track who views our website or require that viewers register or log in, and that by virtue of publication on our website your Submission will become accessible to an unlimited number of third parties. We are not liable for any use made by a third party of your Submission.

Ownership and Originality

You represent that you are the author of the Submission, that you own all applicable copyrights and/or patents associated with your Submission, and that our publication of your Submission will not infringe on the rights of any third party. You further represent that if your Submission includes any material licensed to you as open source, you have included any required attributions or conditions in your Submission.

Please do not submit code that you have previously assigned to others or which belongs to an employer (past or present). Please do not submit code that constitutes an unlawful derivative or work belonging to another, including copies or reverse engineering of others’ code.

Code Submission Standards

There are no restrictions on the type of code you can submit. However, we reserve the right not to publish, or to remove from our site, any Submission containing the following:

• Illegal or prohibited material under the laws of any jurisdiction

• Submissions that are too long, or large numbers of Submissions from the same author (you are welcome to submit more than one piece of code, but please don't spam us with every piece of code you've written)

• Any code that we determine to be insufficiently original or innovative, in our sole discretion
