ATLASSIAN PTY LTD
ONLINE COMMUNITY PLATFORM TERMS OF USE
Effective starting: April 3, 2017

Welcome to our online community platform (the "Platform")! Through the Platform, you'll be able to communicate, share, and learn with other users of Atlassian products and services ("Atlassian Products"). By accessing the Platform, you are agreeing to these Online Community Platform Terms of Use, our Privacy Policy, our Acceptable Use Policy, and all other policies or notices posted by us through the Platform or referenced herein (collectively, these "Terms"). If you are accessing the Developer Community Platform or any Platform specifically for Atlassian Developers, additional Terms in the form of the Developer Code of Conduct and the Participation Guidelines apply, as may be updated from time to time. You agree to notify Atlassian of any facts or circumstances of which you become aware that would make representations in these Terms inaccurate in any respect.These Terms apply no matter how you access the Platform, whether on our website, via our mobile applications, or through other means. If you are accessing or using the Platform on behalf of your company, you represent that you are authorized to accept these Terms on behalf of your company, and all references to "you" reference your company. As used in these terms, "Atlassian," "we" and "us" refer to Atlassian Pty Ltd and its affiliates ("Atlassian"). Any use of or access to the Platform by anyone under the age of 13 is prohibited.

For the avoidance of doubt, use and provisioning of Atlassian Products are subject to separate terms, such as our Customer Agreement, and these Terms do not apply to use of or access to the Atlassian Products.

From time to time, we may modify these Terms. Unless we specify otherwise, changes become effective upon our posting of the updated Terms, and the updated Terms will apply to all use of the Platform after they are posted. We will use reasonable efforts to notify you of the changes through communications via the Platform, email or other means.

BY INDICATING YOUR ACCEPTANCE OF THESE TERMS OR ACCESSING OR USING THE PLATFORM, YOU ARE AGREEING TO BE BOUND BY ALL TERMS, CONDITIONS, AND NOTICES CONTAINED OR REFERENCED IN THESE TERMS. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO THESE TERMS, PLEASE DO NOT USE THE PLATFORM. FOR CLARITY, EACH PARTY EXPRESSLY AGREES THAT THESE TERMS ARE LEGALLY BINDING UPON IT.

  1. USE OF THE PLATFORM. You are free to use the Platform, but only for your non-commercial purposes (except to the extent permitted by Atlassian). You may be required to set up an account in order to access and post on the Platform. If so, you have complete responsibility for your account and everything that happens on your account, including if somebody accesses your account without your permission. You have the right to delete your account and any Submissions, as defined below. You understand and agree that if you choose to exercise such right, it will not apply retroactively. To change your account information, you can go to "Manage settings" in the drop-down of your avatar on the Platform. We reserve the right to change, add to, or disable the Platform or any part thereof at any time, and Atlassian and its suppliers will not be responsible for any changes to or lack of availability of the Platform.
  2. SUBMISSIONS. You are solely responsible for any Content or Contributions you Submit through the Platform (in each case, as defined below) ("Submissions"):
    1. "Content" shall mean any text, information, data, graphics, messages, sounds, videos, content, or other materials you post to the Platform, excluding Contributions.
    2. "Contribution" shall mean the code, documentation or other original works of authorship submitted by you (including any modifications or additions) for inclusion in an existing Work.
    3. "Submit" or "Submitted" means any form of electronic, verbal or written communication sent to Atlassian or its representatives, including but not limited to communication on electronic mailing lists, source code control systems, and issue tracking systems that are managed by, or on behalf of, Atlassian, but excluding communications that are conspicuously marked or otherwise designated in writing by you as "Not a Contribution."
    4. "Work" shall mean any of the products, projects or documentation owned or managed by Atlassian.

    By posting a Submission, you do not lose any ownership rights you may have to it. However, you do grant us certain licenses, as set forth below.
  3. SUBMISSION LICENSE GRANTS.
    1. Content License. By posting any Content, you grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, fully-paid, sublicenseable and transferable license to use, reproduce, distribute, prepare derivative works of, and publicly display and perform your Content in connection with the Platform and our business (including without limitation for our marketing and publicity purposes). You also agree to sharing and use of your Content by us and other users as set forth in these Terms. You understand that once you post your Content, your Content becomes public and can be seen by Atlassian and any users of the forum, and we are not responsible for keeping it confidential.
    2. Contribution Copyright License. You hereby grant to Atlassian and to recipients of software distributed by Atlassian a perpetual, worldwide, non-exclusive, no-charge, royalty-free, irrevocable copyright license to reproduce, prepare derivative works of, publicly display, publicly perform, sublicense, and distribute your Contributions and such derivative works.
    3. Contribution Patent License. You hereby grant to Atlassian and to recipients of software distributed by Atlassian a perpetual, worldwide, non-exclusive, no-charge, royalty-free, irrevocable (except as stated in this section) patent license to make, have made, use, offer to sell, sell, import, and otherwise transfer the Work, where such license applies only to those patent claims licensable by you that are necessarily infringed by your Contribution(s) alone or by combination of your Contribution(s) with the Work to which such Contribution(s) was Submitted. If any entity institutes patent litigation against you or any other entity (including a cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that your Contribution, or the Work to which you have contributed, constitutes direct or contributory patent infringement, then any patent licenses granted to that entity under these Terms for that Contribution or Work shall terminate as of the date such litigation is filed.
  4. PLATFORM USE AND RESTRICTIONS.
    1. Sharing Submissions on Social Platforms. The Platform supports sharing Submissions on social media platforms such as Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn ("Social Platforms"). You understand and agree that other users (or Atlassian) may share your Submissions on Social Platforms. You may share other users' Submissions on Social Platforms, as long as you include a link to the Platform in your post.
    2. We Can Moderate the Platform. We generally do not monitor or review any Submissions on the Platform, but we reserve the right to do so, in our discretion, and may designate Atlassian employees to act as moderators/administrators for the Platform ("Moderators"). In the event a Moderator believes you are using the Platform in violation of the Terms, we have the right to request information from the Platform's service providers. You understand and agree that if there is an investigation of such use in violation of the Terms, you waive any confidentiality rights. We Are Not Responsible for Submissions. We do not endorse any Submissions or make any promises about the reliability of any source or the accuracy, usefulness, safety, or intellectual property rights of any Submissions. You may find Submissions on the Platform to be inaccurate, offensive, indecent, or objectionable. However, you agree not to hold us responsible in any way for your use of the Platform, including your exposure to Submissions.
    3. We May Remove Submissions at Any Time. We reserve the right to remove any Submissions at any time, for any or no reason, with or without notice to you.

    3. Nature of Claims and Failure of Essential Purpose. The parties agree that the waivers and limitations specified in this Section 12 apply regardless of the form of action, whether in contract, tort (including negligence), strict liability or otherwise and will survive and apply even if any limited remedy specified in these Terms is found to have failed of its essential purpose.
  13. INDEMNITY. You will defend, indemnify, and hold harmless us from and against any claim by a third party arising from or related to: (a) your use or attempted use of the Platform in violation of these Terms, (b) your violation of any law or rights of any third party, or (c) any Submissions you post to the Platform, including without limitation any claim of infringement, misappropriation, or violation of any intellectual property, privacy, or other rights.
  14. DISPUTE RESOLUTION.
    1. Dispute Resolution; Arbitration. In the event of any controversy or claim arising out of or relating to these Terms, the parties hereto shall consult and negotiate with each other and, recognizing their mutual interests, attempt to reach a solution satisfactory to both parties. If the parties do not reach settlement within a period of sixty (60) days, any unresolved controversy or claim arising out of or relating to these Terms shall proceed to binding arbitration under the Rules of Arbitration of the International Chamber of Commerce. The parties shall seek to mutually appoint an arbitrator. If the parties cannot agree on a single arbitrator, then there shall be three (3) arbitrators: one selected by each party, and a third selected by the first two. Arbitration will take place in one of the following cities as mutually agreed between the parties: Sydney (Australia), Amsterdam (Netherlands) or San Francisco, CA (USA). If the parties are unable to agree to one of these cities, then the arbitration shall proceed in San Francisco, CA. All negotiations and arbitration proceedings pursuant to this Section will be confidential and treated as compromise and settlement negotiations for purposes of all similar rules and codes of evidence of applicable legislation and jurisdictions. The language of the arbitration shall be English.
    2. Governing Law; Jurisdiction. These Terms will be governed by and construed in accordance with the applicable laws of the State of California, USA, without giving effect to the principles of that State relating to conflicts of laws. Each party irrevocably agrees that any legal action, suit or proceeding that is not otherwise subject to the arbitration provisions of Section 14.1 (Dispute Resolution; Arbitration) must be brought solely and exclusively in, and will be subject to the service of process and other applicable procedural rules of, the State or Federal court in San Francisco, California, USA, and each party irrevocably submits to the sole and exclusive personal jurisdiction of the courts in San Francisco, California, USA, generally and unconditionally, with respect to any action, suit or proceeding brought by it or against it by the other party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Atlassian may bring a claim for equitable relief in any court with proper jurisdiction.
    3. Injunctive Relief; Enforcement. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 14.1 (Dispute Resolution; Arbitration), nothing in these Terms shall prevent either party from seeking injunctive relief with respect to a violation of intellectual property rights, confidentiality obligations or enforcement or recognition of any award or order in any appropriate jurisdiction.
    4. Exclusion of UN Convention and UCITA. The terms of the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the Sale of Goods do not apply to these Terms. The Uniform Computer Information Transactions Act (UCITA) shall not apply to these Terms regardless of when or where adopted.
  15. GENERAL TERMS. We may provide you with notices via email or the Platform, as determined by us in our discretion. Any notices you give to us under these Terms will be deemed given only when personally delivered, delivered by reputable international courier requiring signature for receipt, or three (3) business days after being deposited in the mail, first class, postage prepaid, in each case to: Atlassian Pty Ltd, c/o Atlassian, Inc., 1098 Harrison Street, San Francisco, CA USA 94103, Attn: General Counsel. The parties are independent contractors, and there is no relationship of partnership, joint venture, employment, franchise or agency created hereby between the parties. If a court having proper authority decides that any portion of these Terms is invalid, only the part that is invalid will not apply, and the rest of these Terms will still be in effect. If we waive any of our rights under these Terms in any particular instance, it does not mean that we are waiving our rights generally or in the future. Furthermore, just because we may not enforce all our rights all of the time, it does not mean that we are waiving our rights, as we may decide to enforce them at a later date. Except as set forth herein, all amendments to these Terms must be in writing and signed by both parties. These Terms are the entire agreement between the parties with respect to their subject matter and supersede any prior agreements relating to such subject matter. These Terms, and any rights and licenses granted under these Terms, may not be transferred or assigned by you without our prior written consent, but may be assigned by us without restriction. We won't be liable to you for any delay or failure to perform any obligation we have under these Terms if the delay or failure is due to events which are beyond our reasonable control, including but not limited to any strike, blockade, war, act of terrorism, riot, natural disaster, failure or diminishment of power or of telecommunications or data networks or services, or refusal of approval or a license by a government agency. We may use the services of subcontractors and permit them to exercise the rights granted to us in order to provide the Platform under these Terms.
