The names, images and logos identifying us or third parties or respective products or services on our sites are protected by trademarks, copyright and design rights (“Branding”).

7. CONTRIBUTIONS

If you contribute, upload or post any content, including but not limited to images, artwork, photos, videos or applications (a “Contribution”) to a site (including to the related community pages of www.foundry.com, such as our sharing platform available at https://community.foundry.com/share from time to time):

• you agree to be bound by any additional applicable terms as provided on that site;

• all intellectual property rights, other rights, title and interest in a Contribution will remain your sole and exclusive property but any Contribution will be considered non-confidential; and

• you warrant, in relation to your Contribution, that:

  a) you have all right, title and interest (including but not limited to all IP Rights, as defined in section 6 above) to any Contribution that you upload to a site;

  b) you have the full right and authority needed to grant the rights under any relevant agreement, and no third party rights or consents are required;

  c) in the event that your Contribution contains any biometric or identifiable personal data (or identifies any individual whether by name, picture or otherwise), you have obtained all necessary biometric and personal data rights, consents and permissions from any relevant individuals, as required by applicable law, including, but not limited to, laws relating to the relevant data subject, which are required for Foundry and other users of the relevant site to use that Contribution as applicable, and in order to give full effect to any applicable licenses;

  d) no generative artificial intelligence (AI) tools or software have been used in the creation or development of your Contribution;

  e) your Contribution does not infringe any third-party IP Rights, anywhere in the world, and Foundry’s (or any other user of a site’s) exercise of any applicable rights granted shall not infringe the rights of any third party or conflict with or constitute a breach of any other agreement or arrangements to which any other user is a party;

  f) your Contribution does not contain any (i) back door, time bomb, drop dead device, or any other software routine designed to disable a computer program automatically with the passage of time or under the positive control of a person other than Foundry or (ii) any virus, Trojan horse, worm, or other code or components designed to permit unauthorized access to disable, erase, or otherwise harm software, hardware, or data; and

Unless otherwise stated, when you upload a Contribution to our sites, you grant Foundry, and all users of the Foundry sites, a license to that Contribution under the BSD 3-clause License (the “BSD-3 License”). This license will instruct other users on how they may use your Contribution, and you will be solely responsible for complying with and enforcing the terms of the license. You agree that we may make your Contribution available to other users, subject to the terms of the license. While we will advise other users of the license, you acknowledge that it is not our responsibility to enforce this license and we have no liability to you in respect of any harm or damage caused by a third party. We cannot guarantee that your license will in fact be observed by other users.

IMPORTANT: This means your Contribution can be used, modified, and distributed by anyone worldwide for any purpose, including commercial use, and such licensor is being asked to comply with the relevant terms of the BSD-3 License, including retaining the required copyright notice, the required list of conditions and the required disclaimer. This license is permanent and irrevocable.

When using a Contribution that has been uploaded by other user(s) to a site, Foundry and all other applicable user(s) of a site may, in accordance with the terms of the BSD-3 License, give attribution credit to the relevant user(s) for their respective Contribution. Any such attribution will be based on the display name (or similar identifier) which the relevant user(s) created for their respective profile when opening a Foundry account. However, neither the name of the copyright holder nor the names of its contributors may be used to endorse or promote products derived from the licensed software without specific prior written permission.

We will not be responsible or liable to any third party, for the content or accuracy of any Contribution posted by you or any other user of our sites. Any views expressed by users on our sites do not represent our views or values.

We have the right to remove any Contribution: (a) if, in our opinion, the Contribution is in breach of these terms, or any other applicable Foundry terms; or (b) otherwise, at our discretion, without any liability to you or any other user of our sites.

You are solely responsible for securing and backing up your Contribution. Foundry is not responsible for lost Contributions or for any errors caused by parsing of or modifying a Contribution. We reserve the right to make minor enhancements to Contributions in order to make the download process easier.

All Contributions made to Foundry’s content sharing platform (available at https://community.foundry.com/share) shall also be subject to the terms and conditions of our Content Sharing Agreement, as updated from time to time.

You shall indemnify, and keep indemnified, and hold Foundry (and its officers, directors, employees, agents, and affiliates) harmless from and against any losses, claims, damages, liability, costs (including legal and other professional fees) and expenses incurred as a result of or in connection with, whether directly or indirectly: (a) any action, demand, claim or proceeding that the use or possession of your uploaded Contribution (or any part thereof) infringes or allegedly infringes the IP Rights of any third party; (b) that the use of any Contribution is in breach of the license(s) referenced herein; and (c) of any breach by you of these terms and conditions and any license terms contained herein, including of any warranty contained herein, whether or not any such liability was foreseeable.

13. GENERAL

Each paragraph of these terms operates separately.
