TRANSFUSION – Terms of participation

Preface

The participant accepts these Terms for Participation by the registration to the Hackathon via Eventbrite. The Terms for Participation are subject to the law of Germany.

Behaviour Policy – Be excellent to each other

All attendees, sponsors, partners, volunteers and staff at our hackathon are required to agree with the following code of conduct. The organizers will enforce this code throughout the event. We expect cooperation from all participants to ensure a safe environment for everybody.

Our hackathon is dedicated to providing a harassment-free experience for everyone, regardless of gender, gender identity and expression, age, sexual orientation, disability, physical appearance, body size, race, ethnicity, nationality, religion, previous hackathon attendance.

We do not tolerate harassment of hackathon participants in any form. Sexual language and imagery is not appropriate at any hackathon venue, including hacks, talks, workshops, social media and other online media. Hackathon participants violating these rules may be sanctioned or expelled from the hackathon without a refund (if applicable) at the discretion of the hackathon organizers.

Privacy Policy

The information provided by the participants during registration process and event will be strictly saved for communication purposes between participants and organizers. We respect your privacy and protect your personal information thus will never share, rent, sell or trade it.

Intellectual Property Policy

Any submission during the TRANSFUSION Cross-Industry Open Innovation Challenge remains the property of those individuals who created it. The organization and its affiliates claim no ownership of content or submissions during the Hackathon. Nevertheless, as created knowledge should not belong exclusively to anyone and everyone should be able to continue working even if someone drops out of the challenge, each participant grants a non-exclusive right to the other Hackathon participants to use such created knowledge for purposes of the Hackathon.

By submitting a pitch or accepting any prize, Hackers warrant that they will not submit content that is copyrighted, protected by trade secret, or subject to third-party intellectual property/other proprietary rights including privacy and publicity rights. That is, unless you are the rightful owner or have been granted explicit permission. Participants will not submit any misrepresentations or falsehoods that could damage the Hackathon or its affiliates.

If participants are using any preliminary work, it should be disclaimed in proper manner for example by a footnote in the pitch deck (e.g. in case of use of an open source framework or rightfully licensed or self-developed software). This should embrace the knowledge sharing aspect at the hackathon and serve the overall fairness and a better comparability of outcomes.

The participants of the event as well as the challenger remain owners of the knowledge that arose or arises before the start of the event or outside the event, including the know-how, the copyrights, the computer programs, the inventions made, and the property rights registered or granted on them (named in total pre-existing property rights).

The Challenger/Main Sponsor reserves the right to continue working on and develop the winning solution for the respective challenge, if the winning team expressly does not want or intend further cooperation with the Challenger/Main Sponsor.

If a participant/team does not want to register inventions that were created during the event for property rights, the participant/team will inform the challenger of his/her/their track accordingly and first offer him the takeover of the property right. If the takeover is desired for a fee, this requires a separate regulation.
