Final step — Contributor Agreement
Read the agreement, then sign your application
1. Ownership of Work Product, Intellectual Property, & Confidentiality
(a) Sole and Exclusive Ownership: You hereby acknowledge and agree that any and all assets, materials, designs, software, source code, music, scripts, concepts, media, or other work product created, developed, or contributed by you (collectively, the "Work Product") for, on behalf of, or in connection with RECZONE shall be considered the sole and exclusive property of RECZONE. You irrevocably assign all rights, titles, and interests in and to such Work Product, including all intellectual property rights, copyrights, and trade secrets therein, to RECZONE immediately upon creation.
(b) Project Assets and Data: Any data, files, software tools, documentation, or project materials provided to you by RECZONE or its team members remain the exclusive property of RECZONE. Your access to these materials is a limited, revocable license solely for the purpose of contributing to the project.
(c) Strict Confidentiality: You agree to maintain the absolute confidentiality of all non-public information regarding RECZONE, including but not limited to unreleased game features, development plans, financial information, internal communications, and proprietary methods (collectively, "Confidential Information"). You shall not copy, distribute, disclose, leak, or share any Confidential Information, or any part of the Work Product, with any third party without explicit, written authorization from RECZONE leadership. This obligation survives your departure from the project.
(d) Remediation and Enforcement: You acknowledge that unauthorized disclosure or misuse of Confidential Information or Work Product will cause irreparable harm to RECZONE. In the event of a breach of this agreement, RECZONE reserves the right to immediately terminate your access, remove your involvement from the project, pursue the removal of any leaked assets via legal takedown notices (such as DMCA), and seek all available legal and equitable remedies to protect the integrity of the project.
2. Team Membership Status, Disciplinary Action, & Termination
(a) At-Will Participation: You understand and agree that your participation, role, and membership within the RECZONE development team is entirely voluntary and at-will. RECZONE leadership reserves the absolute right to terminate your membership, remove you from the team, alter your role, and revoke your access to any and all team platforms, servers, repositories, and tools at any time, with or without prior notice, for any reason or no reason at all.
(b) Grounds for Immediate Termination: While RECZONE may terminate membership at-will, certain actions will result in immediate removal, asset revocation, and potential blocklisting from the community. These include, but are not limited to:
* Policy Violations: Any breach of RECZONE guidelines, codes of conduct, or community standards.
* Inactivity and Neglect: Prolonged, unexcused inactivity, failure to communicate with leadership, or a persistent failure to meet project deadlines and quality standards.
* Conduct Detrimental to the Project: Engaging in toxic behavior, harassment, leaking internal discussions, or acting in a manner that harms the reputation, morale, or progress of RECZONE and its team members.
* Discretion of Leadership: Any other reason determined by RECZONE Staff to be necessary for the health and security of the project, whether explicitly listed in this document or not.
(c) Effect of Termination: Upon termination or removal from the RECZONE team for any reason, your license to use or access RECZONE assets, tools, and internal communication channels is immediately revoked. You must immediately cease all use of RECZONE-owned property. Termination of your team membership does not release you from your ongoing obligations regarding Intellectual Property and Confidentiality as outlined in Section 1. 3.
