Alphien Content and User-Generated Content[edit]
Content. “Content” may include audio files, code and code segments, data, databases, data analysis and manipulation functions, data transformations, entire or partial algorithms, graphics, images, trading strategies, portfolios, software, tools, text, lectures, messages, video files, ideas and other information and materials.
Alphien Content. Subject to the specific provision related to User-Generated Content (as defined hereinafter), Alphien is and remains the sole owner of the Services, the Site and any Content provided to you through the use of these (altogether “Alphien Content”). Any use of the Alphien Content is solely permitted in accordance with the Agreements. You hereby acknowledge that you are not allowed, and you will not seek to use, sell, rent, exploit, communicate, copy, adapt and modify all or parts of Alphien Content. Alphien grants you a limited, personal, restricted, temporary, royalty-free license to use the Alphien Content in strict compliance with the Agreements.
You are not allowed to copy, modify, reproduce, republish, post, transmit, sell or offer to sell, in any way without Alphien’s prior written permission any Alphien Content, including without limitation (i) all Alphien’s code, proprietary methods, and systems; (ii) Alphien’s platform design and graphical elements; and (iii) any of Alphien’s intellectual property, trade secret, or otherwise protected information contained in the foregoing. You have no rights over Alphien Content and you must abide by all copyright notices, information, and restrictions with respect to Alphien Content. Alphien’s name, logos, and other materials displayed on our Site and Services, together with the goodwill associated with them, constitute trademarks and logos (“Marks”) owned exclusively by Alphien and you are not authorised to use Alphien’s Marks in any manner whatsoever without Alphien’s prior written approval.
You agree to notify Alphien immediately upon learning of any possible unauthorized transmission of or unauthorized access to Alphien Content and agree to work with Alphien to rectify any unauthorized transmission or access.
User-Generated Content. All Users may submit, post, upload, and contribute (“Submit”, “Submission”) Content to Alphien’s Site and Services (“User-Generated Content”). Alphien personnel and consultants have access to all User-Generated Content for administrative purposes and in particular to ensure the proper use of the Services by users. There are four categories of User-Generated Content, namely:
- “Private Content”: the Content you generated or created and you intend to keep private, for your own use and you do not intend to share or communicate to other users. This Private Content remains your property.
- “Collaborative Content”: the Content you intend and agree to make available and give to specific users with whom you work on the Alphien platform (for instance during Competitions). You only share the ownership of the Collaborative Content with your co-creator(s). In such case, only you and your co-creator(s) will have ownership to the Collaborative Content; no other Users, including Alphien, will have any ownership, right, or license to exploit such Collaborative Content. Alphien is not responsible nor liable for the co-ownership management between you and your teammates.
- “Shared Content”: the Content you intend and agree to make available and give to Alphien and all other Alphien users. In such a case, you assign your ownership, rights and title in and to your Shared Content to Alphien. In return, Alphien will make it available on the platform for the benefit of all users.
- “Released Content”: the Content you intend and agree to make available to Alphien for commercial use. For avoidance of doubt, all Content submitted during competitions or for paper trading are Released Content. Released Content is jointly owned between you and Alphien and Alphien has the exclusive exploitation rights.
You decide which Content you wish to Submit as Collaborative Content, Shared Content or Released Content. Once you choose to Submit your Content, it cannot be changed back.
We will make our best effort to safeguard and use your Content accordingly as indicated by you but we are not a professional online storage service. Thus we will bear no liability for any inadvertent disclosure of any Content and you remain fully and solely responsible and liable for the Content you Submit to our platform.
Mixed Content. In the event you merge your User-Generated Content with Alphien Content (code, data, algorithms, etc.), the resulting work will be a Mixed Content which you cannot use outside the platform. Your hereby acknowledge that any Shared Content and Released Content is Mixed Content and you renounce to use, sell, license or exploit it in any way outside the platform.
Rules of Submission. If you decide to Submit User-Generated Content to Alphien, you represent and warrant that you are responsible and liable that your Submission is your own original work and, as such, you are the sole and exclusive owner and copyright holder of the Submission.
You cannot Submit Content that is not yours. You cannot copy/paste code that you find on the web.
With regard to free and open source software, you cannot Submit open source code that belongs to a third party. If you Submit an original work of yours that you previously or subsequently convey under a free or open source software license, you expressly acknowledge that you Submit such code in Alphien platform under the present Terms of Use and not under any free or open source software license.
For avoidance of doubt, you agree not to make or participate in any Submission that: (i) infringes any third party rights, intellectual property rights, industrial property rights or any other rights, including without limitation, copyright, trademark, patent, trade secret, privacy, publicity or confidentiality obligations; or (ii) otherwise violates any applicable law.
In the event your Submission violates in any way this commitment, you accept to bear all liability and you shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless Alphien and its directors, employees, investors, successors and heirs from and against any and all losses, claims (including third party claims), penalties, actions, damages, liabilities, costs and expenses incident thereto (including reasonable legal counsel fees and expenses), which Alphien may incur, become responsible for, pay out to the extent relating to, based upon, arising out of or in connection with (i) your breach of any of your representations, warranties, covenants or obligations under these Agreements; or (ii) any infringement or misappropriation of the intellectual property rights of any third party; and (iii) your gross negligence or intentional misconduct.
Released Content: Joint Ownership and Exclusive Exploitation by Alphien[edit]
Joint-ownership of Released Content. By Submitting Released Content, you hereby assign to Alphien sixty five percent (65%) of any and all rights in or to such Released Content. Thus, you irrevocably agree that Alphien becomes the legitimate co-owner of such Released Content. Furthermore, you agree to grant Alphien with an exclusive, transferable, perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, fee-bearing (as detailed hereinafter) right to use, modify, reproduce, exploit, license and distribute the Released Content for any purpose that Alphien deems fit and in particular any commercial purposes.
Exclusive exploitation by Alphien. You acknowledge that Alphien intends to commercially exploit Released Content and you encourage it. If Alphien succeeds in such commercial exploitation, Alphien undertakes to share part of the benefit of the commercial exploitation of the Released Content (the “Fee”) according to the following calculation:
- 2 x Fee x 35% / (n+1) if you are the Team Leader
- Fee x 35% / (n+1) if you are not the Team Leader
Where n is the team size (including the Team Leader); if you are not part of a team, n is 1 and you are the Team Leader. Any split change can be requested to Alphien and should be agreed in writing by all persons involved.
The Fee will be calculated by Alphien at its own discretion net of all direct and indirect costs.
Participation to Competitions[edit]
Alphien hosts two types of “Competitions”: “Alphathons” and “Challenges”. Prize(s) and licensing fees may be awarded to the winner(s) of the Competitions and Alphien may receive a fee from the sponsor, if any, to host the users for the Competition.
One account per participant. You can participate in Competitions using your own personal account. You cannot sign up to Competitions from multiple accounts and therefore you cannot Submit Released Content from multiple accounts.
Eligibility. To be eligible to enter Competitions, you must be: (i) a registered account holder of Alphien; and (ii) older than 18 years old or the age of majority in your jurisdiction of residence; and (iii) not subject to any bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings or any proceedings relating to the protection of rights of creditors; and (iv) allowed to participate in skills-based competitions in you jurisdiction of residence; and (v) not prevented by law or court decision from performing any of the acts necessary to ensure your participation in the Competition.
If you are an employee of a company, educational institution or any other legal entity, you also warrant that your actions do not violate your employer’s policies and procedures, in particular with respect to intellectual property.
Alphien reserves the right to verify your eligibility and to arbitrate on any dispute at any time. If you provide any false information concerning your identity, residency, email address, ownership of right, or information required for entering the Competition, you may be immediately or retroactively disqualified. In any event of disqualification, you are liable for any damage, costs or expenses that may arise from your wrongful participation in the Competition, in particular the reimbursement of any fee, prize or remuneration received.
Competition Period. The Competition timeline is subject to change, and the sponsor may introduce additional hurdle deadlines during the Competition period. Any updated or additional deadlines will be published on Alphien website and communicated to you via email. It is your responsibility to check the website regularly to stay informed of any deadline changes. You are responsible for determining the corresponding time zone in your location.
Teams. You may join or form only one team. Each team member must be a single individual with a separate Alphien account. You must register individually for the Competition before joining a team. Each team must designate a team leader (“Team Leader”). The Team Leader is responsible for the communication between Alphien and the team and is the only team member able to Submit Released Content on behalf of the whole team.
You are responsible and liable for the proper communication, discussion, good faith and collaboration inside your team. Alphien bears absolutely no liability for any problem or dispute of any kind that may arise between you and the other team members. Where Alphien deems it useful, Alphien may help you as a neutral third-party.
Alphien reserves the right to suspend or terminate your account and/or participation in the Competition in the event of a dispute that you fail to resolve. You hereby specifically acknowledge and agree that you have no automatic right to participate in the Competition and therefore, any termination of your participation may not give rise to any right whatsoever.
To make it official, you must confirm your team membership by responding to the team invitation sent to your email. The Competition's sponsor and/or Alphien may impose a maximum team size. Once a team is confirmed, team members cannot be changed and no member can join or leave without the unanimous acceptance of the other team members. For loyalty and fair-play reasons, Alphien may authorize or forbid further participation of users that join or leave team during the Competition.
Submitted Content - Released Content. Any Submission during a Competition is automatically considered as Released Content.
Winner Obligations. As a condition to being awarded a prize, a prize winner must sign and return, within two (2) weeks following notification, all prize acceptance documents as may be required by the sponsor or Alphien. Failure to complete these obligations will forfeit the prize and another potential winner will be selected. Transfer or assignment of a prize is not allowed.
Prize. The Prize to be distributed for the winner based on the Submitted Content will be distributed with the following split:
- 2 x Prize / (n+1) to the Team Leader
- Prize / (n+1) to the other members of the team
Where n is the team size (including the Team Leader), if you are not part of a team, n is 1 and you are the Team Leader. Any split change can be requested to Alphien and should be agreed in writing by all persons involved.
Taxes. When awarded with a prize, you receive the amount indicated and you are solely responsible for any fees and tax (whether additional or that may reduce the amount of the prize) you may be subject to due to such award.
Publicity. By accepting a prize, you agree that the sponsor and Alphien may use your name and likeness for advertising and promotional purposes without additional compensation, unless prohibited by law.
Internet. The sponsor and Alphien are not responsible for any malfunction of the website or any late, lost, damaged, misdirected, incomplete or destroyed Submissions due to system errors or garbled computer or other telecommunication transmission malfunctions, hardware or software failures of any kind, lost or unavailable network connections, typographical or system/human errors and failures, technical malfunction(s) of any telephone network or lines, cable connections, satellite transmissions, servers or providers, or computer equipment, traffic congestion on the Internet or on the Alphien website, or any combination thereof, which may limit a participant’s ability to participate.
Right to Cancel, Modify or Disqualify. If for any reason the Competition is not capable of running as planned due to computer virus, bugs, tampering, unauthorized intervention, fraud, technical failures, or any other causes which corrupt or affect the administration, security, fairness, integrity, or proper conduct of the Competition, the sponsor and Alphien reserve the right to cancel, terminate, modify or suspend the Competition. The sponsor and Alphien further reserve the right to disqualify any participant who tampers with the submission process or any other part of the Competition or Alphien Website.
