For MHacks Events that are MLH Member Events, hackers must agree to Major League Hacking’s Code of Conduct, found here - https://static.mlh.io/docs/mlh-code-of-conduct.pdf

Hackers must agree to the following for all MHacks Events:

• Treat all other Hackers with utmost respect. Be kind to others. Do not insult or put down other Hackers. Behave professionally.
• Remember that harassment and racist, sexist, or exclusionary jokes are not appropriate for any MHacks event. If at any point you see a fellow Hacker being harassed, it’s your responsibility to talk to an Organizer.
• Treat Sponsors with the utmost respect. Without them nothing would be possible. Take some time out of your work to go meet and speak with them. If they come over to talk to you look up from your work and give them a bit of your time. They’re here for you! Show them you appreciate it.
• All teams retain full ownership of what they have created during the hackathon. Unless otherwise stated, teams can be anywhere from one to four members.
• Unless stated otherwise, all code, design, art, music, SFX, and assets must be created during the duration of the event to ensure a level field for all Hackers. We want to ensure that all Hackers start off on the same footing and we also want to preserve the true nature of a hackathon. You are, however, free to make plans, create wireframes, and brainstorm prior to the event.
• The only exception to this rule is that you may use material that is freely available to the public. Some examples of this would be: public domain images, creative commons music, open source libraries, and existing APIs and platforms. Failure to comply may result in the offending team’s disqualification.
• TL;DR: Bring your blueprints, build at the hackathon. It’s the only way we can compare Hacks on a level playing field and fairly award prizes. It’s what lets you say “I built this at a hackathon.”
• Have fun. Hackathons are amazing and so are you. We’re so happy you’re able to hack with us and be a part of our amazing community.
• Open your mind. Hacking unites people from across the world and from different cultural norms, nationalities, and backgrounds. Be prepared not only to learn something new from your Hack, but also from the amazing people around you. Be mindful of the fact that certain content and actions can make the people around you uncomfortable. If your Hack contains material that might cross that boundary, talk to an MHacks Organizer. They’ll review it with the team and notify you if you should go forward. Don’t waste 36 hours on a hack that you won’t be allowed to showcase.
• Be the change you want to see in your local community. Never be afraid of competing based on where you come from or have preconceptions of grandeur because you come from a great school. One can achieve greatness at any time. You simply have to see it and grab it.
• For help, you may email us at hackathon@umich.edu. For in-person events, look for the nearest MHacks Organizer for help. All Organizers will be in a different shirt than Hackers so they will be easy to point out.

Failure to comply with any one of these statements above may lead to, but is not limited to, a simple warning to not do the action again, having your hack disqualified, or being removed from the event with no eligibility for reimbursement or refund of any type. The MHacks Organizers reserve the right to take any action MHacks deems appropriate.

By signing your full name below, you state that you have read the above rules and agree to follow them at MHacks.
