==tl;dr==


(This section is, unsurprisingly, not legally binding.)
We want you to come and help us make the web more awesome. But: 1. Keep your account details secret; don't mess with us, our users, the police or your current employer. 2, 3: Keep secret stuff secret; our stuff remains ours... 5: ...even when you stop working with us. 6: Either we or you can end this agreement at any time. 7: Your stuff is yours, but we can use it. 8: You can't sue us. 9: You can't say you represent MoFo or MoCo. 10. You aren't an employee (the government made us say this; this is also why this document says "Volunteer" so many times).
==MOZILLA IT SECURITY AND CONFIDENTIALITY AGREEMENT FOR VOLUNTEERS==
This Mozilla IT Security and Confidentiality Agreement for Volunteers (“Agreement”) is made this ___ day of
____________, 2011 (“Effective Date”), by and between _________________, an individual whose
address is ___________________ (“you”) and Mozilla Corporation, a California corporation, having its
principal place of business at 650 Castro Street, Suite 300, Mountain View, CA 94041-2072 (“Mozilla”)
(Mozilla, its parent, and its subsidiaries and affiliated companies are collectively referred to as “Mozilla
Group”).
Mozilla IT handles data which must be kept confidential, sometimes under force of law, and the disclosure
of which could put at serious risk our millions of users around the world. So, in order to become
Volunteer Mozilla IT, you must agree to this Volunteer Mozilla IT Security and
Confidentiality Agreement. As Volunteer Mozilla IT, you will further the Mozilla mission by working on various tasks,
such as bug fixing and administering our systems (your “Contributions”) and may have access to some of our
sensitive information. By signing this Agreement, you agree not to abuse your position by
harming us or our systems or disclosing any Confidential Information disclosed to you or learned by you
during the course of making your Contributions, as further described below:
===1. Credentials and Access===
You will receive one or more sets of Mozilla credentials. You will not allow anyone else to use
these credentials or help anyone else access any Mozilla system (unless doing so is part of your job). Should you become aware
of any use of your credentials by someone else, you will immediately notify us by discussing the issue
with your direct supervisor; until such notice is received you will be presumed to have taken all
actions made using your credentials. Mozilla will have complete control and discretion over
capabilities associated with your credentials and may change them for any reason at any time. Your
name and email address, or a derivative of it, may be visible worldwide via the Internet.
You represent and warrant that:
# you shall not take any steps to intentionally or negligently harm or aid a third party to harm Mozilla, its systems, employees, consultants, business partners or end users;
# you shall comply with all applicable laws and regulations as well as with any policies provided by Mozilla to you as you are making your Contributions; and
# you have no outstanding agreement or obligation (for example, with an employer or another project) that is in conflict with any of the provisions of this Agreement and you will not enter into any such conflicting agreement during the term of this Agreement.
===2. Confidential Information===
“Confidential Information” means nonpublic information related to Mozilla, its
employees, contractors or business partners and includes, but is not limited to: (a) personal and
potentially personal information of the users of Mozilla websites and products; (b) non-
public information related to Mozilla’s financial results, business strategy, distribution
relationships or business performance; (c) matters of a business nature such as costs, profits, policies, members, and
strategies; and (d) personnel and other information which has not been disclosed by Mozilla
to the general public. Because we work in the open, Mozilla has a lot less of this than your average company, but it still
has some and it still needs protecting effectively. So, you agree that you will not use or disclose Confidential Information for
any purpose except for the purposes of making your Contributions. You shall obtain no right, title or
interest in the Confidential Information and shall return all tangible Confidential Information upon
request.
For purposes of clarification, Confidential Information does not include information that you can
document: (i) has legally and properly entered the public domain through another source and through
no fault of yours (e.g., code in Mozilla public repositories, non-confidential bugs in the Mozilla bug
tracking system, discussions in public discussions groups); (ii) was rightfully known to you or was
rightfully in your possession, without an obligation to keep it confidential, prior to the commencement
of your work on behalf of Mozilla; or (iii) was approved for release by written authorization of Mozilla.
===3. Confidentiality Obligations===
You will not disclose Confidential Information to anyone else, except as expressly allowed in this
Agreement. You will use the same degree of care, but never less than a reasonable standard of care,
to prevent the unauthorized disclosure or dissemination of Confidential Information as you do to
protect your own similar confidential information from unauthorized disclosure or dissemination.
All tangible Confidential Information shall remain the property of Mozilla and its licensors, and upon
request by Mozilla, you shall immediately return or destroy, at Mozilla’s option, all of Mozilla’s tangible
Confidential Information, including copies.
No license, title, or right with respect to any Confidential Information is granted by Mozilla to you
under any patents, patent applications, trademarks, copyrights, trade secrets, or otherwise.
'''(XXX Some of this is redundant with section 2)'''
===4. Disclaimers===
In no event shall you be deemed to have any right or interest in or to any Confidential
Information of the Mozilla Group. ALL INFORMATION PROVIDED BY MOZILLA HEREUNDER IS
“AS IS” AND WITHOUT WARRANTY.
'''(XXX Almost all of this is redundant with section 3)'''
===5. Duration of Confidentiality===
Unless mutually agreed otherwise in writing, your obligations hereunder
with respect to each item of Confidential Information shall survive termination of this Agreement until
all Confidential Information is no longer subject to protection under the terms of this Agreement.
===6. Term===
This Agreement shall be effective as of the date it is signed and may be terminated immediately
by either party without cause with respect to further disclosures, upon written notice to the other party.
'''(XXXRemoved automatic termination; that seems like a paperwork PITA.)'''
===7. Ownership===
All notes, code, ideas, documents, and any other work product you create in the course
of making the Contribution, including all intellectual property rights therein (“Work Product”), as
between Mozilla and you, shall remain '''your''' property. You hereby grant Mozilla, under all of your
rights in the Work Product, a nonexclusive, royalty-free, perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide license to
use, reproduce, distribute, perform, display, modify, sublicense, transfer and otherwise use the Work
Product for any purpose. An exception to this is code or other work contributed to a public Mozilla repository; in
that case, you may contribute under the standard licensing terms for that repository.
You agree to inform Mozilla in writing before incorporating any third party
materials into any Work Product. By providing us with Work Product, you confirm that, to the best of
your knowledge, the Work Product does not violate the rights of any person or entity.
===8. Limitation of Liability===
Mozilla’s liability to you for any breach arising out of or relating to this
agreement (a) shall not exceed the greater of one hundred dollars ($100) or the total amount payable
to you under this agreement (if any) and (b) shall not include any incidental, indirect, special,
consequential, or emotional distress damages of any kind.
===9. Not a Mozilla Representative===
You may not represent yourself as an agent of the Mozilla Corporation or Foundation for
any purpose, and you have no authority to bind either of those entities in any manner whatsoever.
===10. Independent Contractor===
YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH MOZILLA IS SOLELY THAT OF AN
INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR, AND NOTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT CREATES A
PARTNERSHIP, AGENCY, JOINT VENTURE, EMPLOYMENT OR ANY OTHER TYPE OF
RELATIONSHIP. YOU ARE NOT ENTITLED TO ANY RIGHTS OR BENEFITS (SUCH
RETIREMENT, GROUP HEALTH, ETC.) PROVIDED TO MOZILLA EMPLOYEES. You
responsible for obtaining all applicable licenses and permits required for performance of
Agreement. All activities and work performed under this Agreement will be at your own risk
liability.
===11. General===
Your breach of any part of this Agreement may cause immediate and irreparable injury to
Mozilla due to the potentially unique nature of Mozilla’s Confidential Information.
Therefore, in addition to other remedies, you agree that Mozilla will have the right to equitable relief
and specific performance. '''(XXXThese need explaining - I have no idea what they are.)'''
You may not assign or transfer, in whole or in part, any of your rights,
obligations or duties under this Agreement without the prior written consent of Mozilla. This
Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties and supersedes all previous
communications with respect to its subject matter. Each party represents to the other that this
Agreement has been duly executed by it or its duly authorized officers or agents and constitutes a
valid, binding and enforceable obligation of such party. This Agreement shall not be amended or
modified except by a writing signed by a party or its duly authorized representative. A copy
transmitted via facsimile or email of this Agreement, bearing the signature of one or both parties, shall
be deemed to be of the same legal force and effect as an original of this Agreement bearing such
signature(s) as originally written of such one or more parties.
