  5. In the unlikely event of cancellation of an Event, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement and to the extent permissible under applicable law, the liability of Ethereum SG and/or the Organising Partner(s) to a Participant in respect of any tickets purchased for such Event shall be limited to the price actually paid for such tickets.

6.8 Teams
The following provisions in this Clause apply only to Events which are Hackathons:

The Participant and his/her Participant teammates (together, a “Hackathon Team”) must each agree to the Event Participation Agreement and meet the eligibility criteria contained in the Event Participation Agreement.

Participants are strictly not allowed to participate in more than one Hackathon Team and shall only participate in one Hackathon Team during the Hackathon. In the event where a Participant is found to be participating in more than one Hackathon Team, each of the Organising Partner(s) or Ethereum SG is entitled, in its sole discretion, to disqualify said Participant and/or the Hackathon Team and their Submission from the Hackathon.
Without prejudice to Clause 6.8.2 above, Ethereum SG and/or the Organising Partner reserves the right to remove or add Participants to a Hackathon Team as they deem necessary during the Hackathon.
For the avoidance of doubt, Hackathon mentors and judges are not allowed to enter any Submissions for a Hackathon for which they are a mentor and/or a judge for. Any Submissions from Hackathon mentors and/or judges will be disqualified by default.

The following provisions in this Clause apply only to Events which are Hackathons:

Submissions for a Hackathon may be entered at any time after the submission period begins and must be submitted before the submission period ends, as specified in the Event Rules (this time period is referred to herein as the “Submission Period”).
Each Hackathon Team may enter only one (1) Submission during the Submission Period. For purposes of making a Submission, each Hackathon Team shall designate one (1) Participant from such Hackathon Team as the representative of the Hackathon Team to make the Submission. Such Participant shall be deemed as the relevant entrant for such Submission, even if such Participant is part of a Hackathon Team. In the event of a dispute regarding any Submission, the authorised account holder of the email address used to register the Hackathon Team will be deemed to be the email address used to make the Submission. The “authorised account holder” is the natural person assigned an email address by an Internet access provider, online service provider or other organisation responsible for assigning email addresses for the domain associated with the submitted address. Each potential Winner may be required to show proof of being the authorised account holder.
Submissions received from any person or email address in excess of the stated limits will be void. Submissions generated by script, macro or other automated means are void.
Submissions are subject to review by Ethereum SG and/or the Organising Partner. Instructions will be provided on how to check-in your Submission on the Event Website. The Organising Partner’s computer is the official time-keeping device for each Hackathon.
Participants and/or the Hackathon Team are strictly not allowed to make any changes or alterations to the Submission after the expiry of the Submission Period unless written consent is given by Ethereum SG and/or the Organising Partner(s) to modify the Submission for purposes of removing or replacing material that potentially infringes a third-party Intellectual Property Right, discloses confidential information, or, is otherwise inappropriate, (“Permitted Modification”) provided always that the modified Submission must remain substantially the same as the original Submission with the only modification being the Permitted Modification.
By making your Submission via such channels as may be designated by Ethereum SG, the Participant agrees that it conforms to the submission guidelines and content restrictions as defined in Clause 6.9.7 below (collectively, the “Guidelines and Restrictions”) and that either Ethereum SG or the Organising Partner(s) may disqualify the Participant and the Participant’s Submission from the Hackathon if it/they believe, in its/their sole discretion, that that Submission fails to conform to the Guidelines and Restrictions. Each Participant agrees to promptly adhere to any requests from Ethereum SG and/or the Organising Partner(s) for further information or documentation for the purpose of verifying a Participant’s compliance with the Guidelines and Restrictions.
Each Submission must:
1. adhere to the terms of the Event Participation Agreement;
2. contain all submission requirements stated on the Event Participation Agreement;

Intellectual Property Rights to Submissions

Without prejudice to the rights granted to Ethereum SG and its successors under Clause 7.1.1, The treatment in respect of the Intellectual Property Rights to each Submission shall be as set forth in the Event Rules. In the absence of any such stipulation, the relevant Intellectual Property Rights shall be treated in accordance with applicable law.

1. 1. The Participant accepts and acknowledges that the Organising Partner(s) shall not be obligated to use the Submission and that the Organising Partner(s) in its sole discretion shall have the right to refrain from using the Submission. By entering this Participation Agreement, the Participant agrees that the Participant is in compliance with all of his/her employers’ rules, policies, and procedures that relate to accepting prizes (where relevant). The Participant shall indemnify Ethereum SG, the Organising Partner, and any licensee of the Organising Partner(s) against all claims, damages, liabilities, and expenses (including reasonable counsel fees and legal expenses) arising out of any breach of these Terms.

Judging

1. 1. A panel of judges will evaluate Submissions after the Submission Period closes using the judging criteria that can be found in the relevant Event Rules. The list of judges will be uploaded to the relevant Event Website. Judges are subject to change at the Organising Partner’s sole discretion. A judge may elect to, or the Organising Partner(s) may require a judge to, recuse him or herself from evaluating a Submission, if, in the judge’s or the Organising Partner’s discretion, it would not be appropriate for the judge to evaluate a Participant’s Submission because of a past or current relationship with the Participant. Recusal decisions are final and not subject to appeal.
  2. Decisions of the judges are final and binding and not subject to review or appeal.

Winner Announcement and Verification

1. 1. The winner of a Hackathon (the “Winner”) will be announced after judging ends, with the identity of the Winner to be posted on the Event Website after confirmation of the Winner is complete. Ethereum SG or the Organising Partner(s) may take any actions necessary to verify a Hackathon Team’s compliance with this Hackathon Participation Agreement, including a Submission’s compliance with the relevant Event Rules, before awarding a prize, including, without limitation, engaging a third-party vendor to evaluate the code and/or requiring a Hackathon Team to provide evidence of permission to use certain third-party materials. The Participant understands and acknowledges that even though the Participant and/or the Participant’s Hackathon Team may be announced as a Winner, if that Hackathon Team’s compliance with this Participation Agreement or the Hackathon Team’s Submission compliance with the relevant Event Rules cannot be verified to the satisfaction of the Organising Partner, the judges or Ethereum SG, then the Organising Partner, the judges, or Ethereum SG will select an alternate Winner with the next highest score based on the same judging criteria.
  2. In the event of a tie between the scores of Submissions, the Submission with the higher score in the first applicable judging criterion will be considered the higher scoring Submission. In the event any ties remain, this process will be repeated, as needed, by comparing the scores on the next applicable criterion. If Submissions are tied on all applicable criteria, the Organising Partner, the judges and Ethereum SG shall hold a further discussion to determine the treatment of such a tie, which may, at their discretion, involve an additional tie-breaker test, task or majority voting, or the splitting of the relevant prize.
  3. The Winner will be notified by email, mail or phone within thirty (30) working days of the completion of the judging process. Except where prohibited, each Winner will be required to provide the payment details required by Ethereum SG within thirty (30) days of the date that notice or attempted notice is sent in order to claim his/her prize. If a Winner cannot be contacted within thirty (30) days of the date or notice or attempted notice, fails to provide any requested information within the required time period (if applicable), does not comply with the Event Rules, or the prize is returned as undeliverable, the Winner forfeits the prize. If a Winner is disqualified for any reason, the prize may be awarded to a runner-up determined by the qualified judges, at the Organising Partner’s sole discretion. Only three (3) alternate Winners may be determined (subject to the Organising Partner’s determination of whether there should be any alternate Winners), after which the applicable prize will remain un-awarded.
  4. Once the prize has been transferred or sent to the Winner in accordance with such payment details as provided by the Participant in Clause 6.9.11(c), the Winner shall be deemed to have accepted and received the prize (the “Acceptance”) and Ethereum SG and the Organising Partner(s) shall be deemed to have discharged their obligation to deliver the prize to the Winner under this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, in respect of a Winner who was a Participant representing a Hackathon Team, it shall be the sole responsibility of such Winner to manage any collaboration or prize divisions among the other Participants of such Hackathon Team.
  5. The Acceptance of any prize shall constitute and signify the Participant’s agreement and consent that Ethereum SG, the Organising Partner(s) and their designees may use the Participant’s name, city, state, likeness, Submission and/or prize information in connection with the Hackathon for promotional, advertising or other purposes, worldwide, in any and all media now known or hereafter devised, including the Internet, without limitation and without further payment, notification, permission or other consideration, except where prohibited by law.
  6. Prizes will be fulfilled within eight to ten (8 -10) weeks after conclusion of the Hackathon.

Prizes

1. 1. All prizes are stated in USD, unless otherwise indicated by Ethereum SG in the Event Rules.

  2. Prizes are non-transferable and no substitution will be made except as provided herein at the Organising Partner’s sole discretion.

Specific Disclaimer. Ethereum SG shall not be responsible for any delays, loss or damage resulting from any delay in crediting of prizes to the Participant as Winner, where such delay is not caused by or directly resulting from the fault or negligence of Ethereum SG.

Disqualification

The Participant may be disqualified for any of the following actions, with or without warning, at the discretion of Ethereum SG or the Organising Partner: (i) verbal abuse of another participant or Event staff; (ii) breach of this Participant Agreement or any other agreement entered into in connection with the Event; or (iii) violating the spirit of the Event. If Ethereum SG or the Organising Partner(s) has reason to believe that the Participant has compromised the integrity or the legitimate operation of any Event, including, without limitation, by cheating, hacking, creating a malicious bot or other automated program, or by committing fraud in any way, the Participant may be required to discontinue participation in that Event. If staff of Ethereum SG or the Organising Partner(s) has reason to believe that the Participant’s health is in danger, the Participant may be required to discontinue participation in the Event and be asked to seek immediate medical assistance.
2. All disqualification decisions are final and not subject to appeal.

6.10 Cancellation, Suspension or Modification of the Event

Ethereum SG and/or the Organising Partner(s) reserve the right to cancel, suspend and/or modify an Event, or any part of it, if any fraud, technical failures, human error or any other factor impairs the integrity or proper functioning of the relevant Event, as determined by Ethereum SG and/or the Organising Partner(s) in at their discretion without notice in any manner and for any reason (including, without limitation, in the event of any unanticipated occurrence that is not fully addressed in this Participation Agreement). In the event of cancellation, modification, or suspension, Ethereum SG and/or the Organising Partner(s) may, at their sole discretion, reschedule the Event or determine the Winner from among all non-suspect, eligible Submissions received up to time of such action using the judging procedure outlined above. Ethereum SG and/or the Organising Partner, at their discretion, reserve the right to disqualify any individual it finds to be tampering with the Submission process or the operation of the Event or to be acting in violation of the Event Rules of this or any other promotion or in an unsportsmanlike or disruptive manner and void all associated Submissions. Any attempt by any person to deliberately undermine the legitimate operation of the Event may be a violation of criminal and civil law, and, should such an attempt be made, Ethereum SG and/or the Organising Partner(s) reserve the right to seek damages and other remedies (including attorneys’ fees) from any such person to the fullest extent permitted by law. Ethereum SG and/or the Organising Partner’s failure to enforce any term of this Participation Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of that provision.

In no event will Ethereum SG or its officers, directors, agents, and employees, be liable to the User for consequential, exemplary, incidental, or indirect damages or costs (including legal fees and expenses) or loss of goodwill or profit in connection with the use of the Website or these Terms, even if Ethereum SG has been advised of the possibility of such damages or costs. Some jurisdictions do not allow the limitation or exclusion of liability for incidental or consequential damages, so this paragraph may not apply to you.

13.2 Nature of Claims and Failure of Essential Purpose

To the extent permitted by law, you agree that the waivers, disclaimers and limitations specified in these Terms apply regardless of the form of action, whether in contact, tort (including negligence), strict liability or otherwise and will survive and apply even if any limited remedy specified in these Terms is intended to apply in respect of non-performance of a condition.

14. CONFIDENTIALITY

14.1 Unless otherwise specified in these Terms, an Event Service Agreement or an Event Participation Agreement, each party (as “Receiving Party”) agrees that all code, inventions, know-how, business, technical and financial information it obtains from the disclosing party (the “Disclosing Party”) constitute the confidential property of the Disclosing Party (“Confidential Information”), provided that it is identified as confidential at the time of disclosure or should be reasonably known by the Receiving Party to be confidential or proprietary due to the nature of the information disclosed and the circumstances surrounding the disclosure.

14.2 Any Ethereum SG Technology, performance information relating to any Service, and the terms and conditions of these Terms will be deemed Confidential Information of Ethereum SG without any marking or further designation.

14.3 Except as expressly authorised herein, the Receiving Party will (a) hold in confidence and not disclose any Confidential Information to third parties and (b) not use Confidential Information for any purpose other than fulfilling its obligations and exercising its rights under these Terms.

14.4 The Receiving Party may disclose Confidential Information to its employees, agents, contractors (including but not limited to cloud and hosting service providers) and other representatives having a legitimate need to know (including, for Ethereum SG, its subcontractors), provided that such representatives are bound to confidentiality obligations no less protective of the Disclosing Party than this Clause 14.4 and that the Receiving Party remains responsible for compliance by any such representative with the terms of Clause 14.

14.5 The Receiving Party’s confidentiality obligations under this Clause 14.5 will not apply to information that the Receiving Party can document:

1. 1. was rightfully in its possession or known to it prior to receipt of the Confidential Information;
  2. is or has become public knowledge through no fault of the Receiving Party;
  3. is rightfully obtained by the Receiving Party from a third party without breach of any confidentiality obligation;
  4. is independently developed by employees of the Receiving Party who had no access to such information; or
  5. in respect of information on the Website, any information found on parts of the Website which are publicly accessible.

14.6 The Receiving Party may make disclosures to the extent required by administrative or judicial process, applicable law, or court order, provided the Receiving Party notifies the Disclosing Party in advance and cooperates in any effort to obtain confidential treatment.

14.7 The Receiving Party acknowledges that disclosure of Confidential Information would cause substantial harm for which damages alone would not be a sufficient remedy, and therefore that upon any such disclosure by the Receiving Party the Disclosing Party will be entitled to seek appropriate equitable relief in addition to whatever other remedies it might have at law.
