Participation in the Hackathon constitutes Participant’s full and unconditional agreement to and acceptance of these Terms and Conditions (“Terms”). The term “you” refers to you, the “Participant”.
Your Participation:
You can participate as part of a team. Organizer is not responsible for, and will not assist in resolving, any disputes between team members.

Scoring of Entries:
A panel of judges will be responsible for judging Entries.
The Entries will be judged according to agreed-upon criteria that will be shared publicly with the Participants.
The Entry that earns the highest average score will win. The decisions of the judges will be final. In the event of a tie, judges will deliberate to determine the winner. If a judge or Participant identifies to Organizer a conflict of interest, that judge will be recused from judging the Entry with the conflict and an alternate judge will be identified as a substitution for the judge with the conflict.
Each Entry must be original, of the Participant’s or Participant’s teams own creation and newly written during the Hackathon and must not have been entered in any other competition or program similar to the Hackathon, including other competitions conducted by Organizer. “Newly written” means that Participants cannot in any way copy software code that already privately exists, and submit it as part of an Entry. Entries may be subject to a due diligence review at any time for eligibility and compliance with these Terms. Determination of eligibility and compliance is at the sole discretion of Organizer. Organizer reserve the right to disqualify any Entry if the Entry or a Participant or a Participant’s team does not comply with these Terms.

Participant represents and warrants that the Entry is and will be Participant’s own original work and does not and will not infringe the intellectual property or proprietary rights of any third party, including, without limitation, any third party patents, copyrights or trademarks. Participant hereby agrees not to instigate, support, maintain or authorize any action, claim or lawsuit against the Organizer, or any other person, on the grounds that any use of a Participant’s Entry, infringes any of Participant’s rights as creator of the Entry, including, without limitation, trademark rights, copyrights and moral rights or “droit moral.”. Nothing herein shall constitute an employment, joint venture, or partnership relationship between Participant and Organizer. Participants will not receive any compensation from Organizer in connection with any Entries. Each Participant acknowledges and agrees that Organizer or other Participants or third parties may have developed or commissioned works which are similar to the Entry of Participant or Participant’s team, and each Participant waives any claims that Participant may have resulting from any similarities to the Entry of Participant or Participant’s team.
