# Contributor Covenant Code of Conduct
|
||||
|
||||
## Our Pledge
|
||||
|
||||
In the interest of fostering an open and welcoming environment, we as contributors and maintainers pledge to making participation in our project and our community a harassment-free experience for everyone, regardless of age, body size, disability, ethnicity, gender identity and expression, level of experience, nationality, personal appearance, race, religion, or sexual identity and orientation.
|
||||
|
||||
## Our Standards
|
||||
|
||||
Examples of behavior that contributes to creating a positive environment include:
|
||||
|
||||
* Using welcoming and inclusive language
|
||||
* Being respectful of differing viewpoints and experiences
|
||||
* Gracefully accepting constructive criticism
|
||||
* Focusing on what is best for the community
|
||||
* Showing empathy towards other community members
|
||||
|
||||
Examples of unacceptable behavior by participants include:
|
||||
|
||||
* The use of sexualized language or imagery and unwelcome sexual attention or advances
|
||||
* Trolling, insulting/derogatory comments, and personal or political attacks
|
||||
* Public or private harassment
|
||||
* Publishing others' private information, such as a physical or electronic address, without explicit permission
|
||||
* Other conduct which could reasonably be considered inappropriate in a professional setting
|
||||
|
||||
## Our Responsibilities
|
||||
|
||||
Project maintainers are responsible for clarifying the standards of acceptable behavior and are expected to take appropriate and fair corrective action in response to any instances of unacceptable behavior.
|
||||
|
||||
Project maintainers have the right and responsibility to remove, edit, or reject comments, commits, code, wiki edits, issues, and other contributions that are not aligned to this Code of Conduct, or to ban temporarily or permanently any contributor for other behaviors that they deem inappropriate, threatening, offensive, or harmful.
|
||||
|
||||
## Scope
|
||||
|
||||
This Code of Conduct applies both within project spaces and in public spaces when an individual is representing the project or its community. Examples of representing a project or community include using an official project e-mail address, posting via an official social media account, or acting as an appointed representative at an online or offline event. Representation of a project may be further defined and clarified by project maintainers.
|
||||
|
||||
## Enforcement
|
||||
|
||||
Instances of abusive, harassing, or otherwise unacceptable behavior may be reported by contacting the project team at feedback at advancedalgos dot org. The project team will review and investigate all complaints, and will respond in a way that it deems appropriate to the circumstances. The project team is obligated to maintain confidentiality with regard to the reporter of an incident. Further details of specific enforcement policies may be posted separately.
|
||||
|
||||
Project maintainers who do not follow or enforce the Code of Conduct in good faith may face temporary or permanent repercussions as determined by other members of the project's leadership.

# Contributing
|
||||
|
||||
We are thrilled you are interested in contributing to the this module. Your help may be essential to the project's success and we want you in!
|
||||
|
||||
Advanced Algos LTD is a startup, currently at a very early stage. Although this module is not open source software yet, we do welcome contributions from the community.
|
||||
|
||||
Contributions are deemed _work for hire_ and --as such-- are compensated on a case by case basis, with ALGO tokens. Contributors agree to provide an express grant of patent rights for their contributions. Our Balanced Contributor Intellectual Property Agreement is a direct implementation of GitHub's [Balanced Employee Intellectual Property Agreement 1.0.1](https://github.com/github/balanced-employee-ip-agreement/blob/master/Balanced_Employee_IP_Agreement.md).
|
||||
|
||||
# Balanced Contributor Intellectual Property Agreement 1.0.1
|
||||
|
||||
This BALANCED CONTRIBUTOR INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY AGREEMENT is between person named below and Advanced Algos ("Company").
|
||||
|
||||
**What is this?** This is the Company's Intellectual Property Agreement ("Agreement"). If you've worked in the technology space before, there's a good chance that you've run across one or more of these in the past. This document is the official, entire and exclusive agreement on what intellectual property ("IP") is yours, and what belongs to the Company.
|
||||
|
||||
**Why is this?** The Company needs to be clear on what IP it owns and has rights to. Its customers, contributors, and investors depend on the Company having the legal rights to the products and services it is providing so that the Company can continue operating and doing business.
|
||||
|
||||
The Company also believes that it's important to be clear on what it doesn't own. The Company doesn't want you looking over your shoulder every time you work on something personal or worrying that the Company will someday seize your open source non-lethal mousetrap simulation software. In other words, the Company isn't interested in appropriating your personal projects.
|
||||
|
||||
**Read this.** Please read this document and be sure you understand it before you sign it. Due to legal risk and corporate obligations, the Company cannot, by and large, negotiate its terms. If you feel you have a particular circumstance that keeps you from signing, please let the Company's legal department ("Legal") know. And, of course, you're always free and encouraged to get your own legal counsel to explain anything you're not clear on.
|
||||
|
||||
Cool? Then, by signing this Agreement, and as a condition of your contribution, you agree to the following:
|
||||
|
||||
1. **What the Company owns.** The Company owns any IP ("Company IP") that you create, or help create _as its contributor or contractor_, but only if it meets one or more of these additional conditions: The IP was (i) related to an existing or prospective Company product or service at the time you developed, invented, or created it, (ii) developed for use by the Company, or (iii) developed or promoted with existing Company IP or with the Company's endorsement. You hereby grant and assign, and will grant and assign, to the Company all rights and interests in all Company IP.
|
||||
|
||||
"Company IP" includes concepts, designs, developments, discoveries, ideas, improvements, inventions, trade secrets, trademarks, and works of authorship.
|
||||
|
||||
2. **What the Company doesn't own.** If you create IP that doesn't fit into one of the categories listed above, the Company doesn't own it. In other words, the Company doesn't own concepts, designs, developments, discoveries, ideas, improvements, inventions, trade secrets, trademarks, or works of authorship that you develop, invent, or create that do not meet any of the conditions in Section 1. This is true regardless of the computer you use to develop your IP, including the one furnished to you by the Company.
|
||||
|
||||
3. **Contribution of your IP to Company projects.** If you include your own IP – such as IP you created prior to working for the Company – into a Company product or service, it's still yours, of course, but you grant the Company a non-exclusive, irrevocable, fully paid-up, royalty-free, perpetual, sublicensable, transferable, worldwide license to use it without restriction in any way or implementation, in modified form, or as is, by itself, or incorporated into another product or service ("License"). If you include your name in any project over which the Company would have rights under this Agreement, such as in a copyright notice or a comment in code or documentation, then the License covers the rights associated with that use of your name as well.
|
||||
|
||||
4. **Your contributions to non-Company projects.** The Company recognizes that you may be engaged in work that requires you to submit IP to entities other than the Company, such as open source projects used by the Company. Please make sure that Legal is aware of what you're working on so that Legal can help with any licensing issues. If any project asks you to sign a contribution agreement, you should check with Legal before doing so. These agreements may be legally binding on the Company and so should be run through Legal first.
|
||||
|
||||
5. **Works made for hire.** All Company IP that you are involved with or create as part of your work for the Company is [work made for hire](http://www.copyright.gov/circs/circ09.pdf) under copyright law and compensated by your regular salary or pay.
|
||||
|
||||
6. **No conflicts.** You agree that you don't have any outstanding agreements or obligations that conflict with those in this Agreement, and that you won't enter into conflicting agreements in the future.
|
||||
|
||||
7. **IP protection.** The Company might someday need to show the work that went into the development of IP that it uses or has used, or to make government filings to establish that it owns the IP or has rights over it. To help in those situations, you agree not to destroy any records you maintain relating to the development of any Company IP or IP under License (together, "All IP"), and, if the Company asks, to provide those records to the Company. You agree to help the Company secure and defend its rights in All IP, including after you leave the Company. For your help the Company will compensate you at a reasonable rate. If the Company is unable to secure your help, you authorize the Company to act on your behalf (as your agent and attorney-in-fact) in securing all rights related to All IP.
|
||||
|
||||
8. **Confidentiality.** As an contributor or contractor of the Company, you will have access to sensitive confidential information that is important to the Company's business. You are responsible for keeping this information confidential, including after you end your work for the Company.
|
||||
|
||||
"Confidential Information" includes non-public technical details about our products or services, financial information, business strategies and forecasts, customer data, or any other information, data or know-how that is valuable to the Company because it is not publicly known.
|
||||
|
||||
The Company's Confidential Information is sensitive and we expect that you'll treat it as such. You agree to only use the Company's Confidential Information for the purpose of performing your job and for the benefit of the Company. You will do your best to keep Confidential Information secret. If you are not sure if something is Confidential Information, you should assume that it is, until you can confirm otherwise.

# Contributing
|
||||
|
||||
We are thrilled you are interested in contributing to the this module. Your help may be essential to the project's success and we want you in!
|
||||
|
||||
Advanced Algos LTD is a startup, currently at a very early stage. Although this module is not open source software yet, we do welcome contributions from the community.
|
||||
|
||||
Contributions are deemed _work for hire_ and --as such-- are compensated on a case by case basis, with ALGO tokens. Contributors agree to provide an express grant of patent rights for their contributions. Our Balanced Contributor Intellectual Property Agreement is a direct implementation of GitHub's [Balanced Employee Intellectual Property Agreement 1.0.1](https://github.com/github/balanced-employee-ip-agreement/blob/master/Balanced_Employee_IP_Agreement.md).

# Balanced Contributor Intellectual Property Agreement 1.0.1
|
||||
|
||||
This BALANCED CONTRIBUTOR INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY AGREEMENT is between person named below and Advanced Algos ("Company").
|
||||
|
||||
**What is this?** This is the Company's Intellectual Property Agreement ("Agreement"). If you've worked in the technology space before, there's a good chance that you've run across one or more of these in the past. This document is the official, entire and exclusive agreement on what intellectual property ("IP") is yours, and what belongs to the Company.
|
||||
|
||||
**Why is this?** The Company needs to be clear on what IP it owns and has rights to. Its customers, contributors, and investors depend on the Company having the legal rights to the products and services it is providing so that the Company can continue operating and doing business.
|
||||
|
||||
The Company also believes that it's important to be clear on what it doesn't own. The Company doesn't want you looking over your shoulder every time you work on something personal or worrying that the Company will someday seize your open source non-lethal mousetrap simulation software. In other words, the Company isn't interested in appropriating your personal projects.
|
||||
|
||||
**Read this.** Please read this document and be sure you understand it before you sign it. Due to legal risk and corporate obligations, the Company cannot, by and large, negotiate its terms. If you feel you have a particular circumstance that keeps you from signing, please let the Company's legal department ("Legal") know. And, of course, you're always free and encouraged to get your own legal counsel to explain anything you're not clear on.
|
||||
|
||||
Cool? Then, by signing this Agreement, and as a condition of your contribution, you agree to the following:
|
||||
|
||||
1. **What the Company owns.** The Company owns any IP ("Company IP") that you create, or help create _as its contributor or contractor_, but only if it meets one or more of these additional conditions: The IP was (i) related to an existing or prospective Company product or service at the time you developed, invented, or created it, (ii) developed for use by the Company, or (iii) developed or promoted with existing Company IP or with the Company's endorsement. You hereby grant and assign, and will grant and assign, to the Company all rights and interests in all Company IP.
|
||||
|
||||
"Company IP" includes concepts, designs, developments, discoveries, ideas, improvements, inventions, trade secrets, trademarks, and works of authorship.
|
||||
|
||||
2. **What the Company doesn't own.** If you create IP that doesn't fit into one of the categories listed above, the Company doesn't own it. In other words, the Company doesn't own concepts, designs, developments, discoveries, ideas, improvements, inventions, trade secrets, trademarks, or works of authorship that you develop, invent, or create that do not meet any of the conditions in Section 1. This is true regardless of the computer you use to develop your IP, including the one furnished to you by the Company.
|
||||
|
||||
3. **Contribution of your IP to Company projects.** If you include your own IP – such as IP you created prior to working for the Company – into a Company product or service, it's still yours, of course, but you grant the Company a non-exclusive, irrevocable, fully paid-up, royalty-free, perpetual, sublicensable, transferable, worldwide license to use it without restriction in any way or implementation, in modified form, or as is, by itself, or incorporated into another product or service ("License"). If you include your name in any project over which the Company would have rights under this Agreement, such as in a copyright notice or a comment in code or documentation, then the License covers the rights associated with that use of your name as well.
|
||||
|
||||
4. **Your contributions to non-Company projects.** The Company recognizes that you may be engaged in work that requires you to submit IP to entities other than the Company, such as open source projects used by the Company. Please make sure that Legal is aware of what you're working on so that Legal can help with any licensing issues. If any project asks you to sign a contribution agreement, you should check with Legal before doing so. These agreements may be legally binding on the Company and so should be run through Legal first.
|
||||
|
||||
5. **Works made for hire.** All Company IP that you are involved with or create as part of your work for the Company is [work made for hire](http://www.copyright.gov/circs/circ09.pdf) under copyright law and compensated by your regular salary or pay.
|
||||
|
||||
6. **No conflicts.** You agree that you don't have any outstanding agreements or obligations that conflict with those in this Agreement, and that you won't enter into conflicting agreements in the future.
|
||||
|
||||
7. **IP protection.** The Company might someday need to show the work that went into the development of IP that it uses or has used, or to make government filings to establish that it owns the IP or has rights over it. To help in those situations, you agree not to destroy any records you maintain relating to the development of any Company IP or IP under License (together, "All IP"), and, if the Company asks, to provide those records to the Company. You agree to help the Company secure and defend its rights in All IP, including after you leave the Company. For your help the Company will compensate you at a reasonable rate. If the Company is unable to secure your help, you authorize the Company to act on your behalf (as your agent and attorney-in-fact) in securing all rights related to All IP.
|
||||
|
||||
8. **Confidentiality.** As an contributor or contractor of the Company, you will have access to sensitive confidential information that is important to the Company's business. You are responsible for keeping this information confidential, including after you end your work for the Company.
|
||||
|
||||
"Confidential Information" includes non-public technical details about our products or services, financial information, business strategies and forecasts, customer data, or any other information, data or know-how that is valuable to the Company because it is not publicly known.
|
||||
|
||||
The Company's Confidential Information is sensitive and we expect that you'll treat it as such. You agree to only use the Company's Confidential Information for the purpose of performing your job and for the benefit of the Company. You will do your best to keep Confidential Information secret. If you are not sure if something is Confidential Information, you should assume that it is, until you can confirm otherwise.
