2023 Collaborator Terms and Conditions

By entering the Space Apps Collaborator Program and agreeing to these Terms and Conditions, You affirm that You have legal authority to represent your organization, and that your organization agrees to the following Terms and Conditions:

Participation: Your organization’s designation as a Space Apps Collaborator is fully voluntary. Your organization is not entitled to compensation, nor will its representatives be considered employees, agents, independent contractors, or consultants of NASA or of the United States (U.S.) Government.

Your Organization’s Involvement in Space Apps: You may represent yourself as a “NASA Space Apps Global Collaborator”, “NASA Space Apps Collaborator, or “NASA Space Apps Amplification Collaborator”.  You may describe Space Apps as a “NASA-led initiative” and can indicate your organization is a “Collaborator with NASA’s International Space Apps Challenge”. You understand that as a Collaborator you are NOT a representative of NASA or NASA’s International Space Apps Challenge 2023 in any official capacity. As a NASA-led initiative, Space Apps does not accept sponsorship or have sponsors. Due to this, we request that Space Apps Collaborators use the term “Collaborator” and not “partner” or “sponsor”.

USE OF GLOBAL OFFER MATERIALS:
You are responsible for ensuring that your Global Offer materials are freely and publicly available without restriction to the Space Apps participants, and that use by the participants will not infringe the rights of any third parties.  Such Global Offer materials will be available to participants, but participants have no obligation to use such materials.

WARRANTIES:
You represent and warrant that (i) you have sufficient rights to authorize the use of the Global Offer materials to participants in the 2023 International Space Apps Challenge, and (ii) use of the Global Offer materials by Space Apps participants will not infringe, or constitute a misappropriation of, any intellectual property rights or confidential information of any third party. 

Publicity: Your participation as a Collaborator constitutes your consent for NASA to use your company’s name and/or information about your company for informational purposes in connection with the International Space Apps Challenge through any form of media, worldwide, without further permission, payment, or consideration. For any imagery provided by You to NASA for use by NASA, You shall provide to NASA a model release in form reasonably satisfactory to NASA which allows NASA to use such imagery as well as the likenesses of individuals featured in such imagery.

Space Apps Branding and Logos: The Space Apps Resources page includes Space Apps branding information, including logos and fonts. As a Collaborator, you may use the Space Apps logo consistent with the goals and purposes of Space Apps 2023, including but not limited to adding it to the website where participants can find your Global Offer. You will also be provided with a Collaborator Communications Toolkit which includes approved images and copy that can be used for your outreach. You shall not use “National Aeronautics and Space Administration” or “NASA” in a way that creates the impression that a product or service has the authorization, support, sponsorship, or endorsement of NASA. The NASA name and initials may be used by You in a strictly factual manner in connection with the release of general information regarding your organization’s participation in Space Apps as a Collabor
NASA Logo Use: NASA has strict restrictions that everyone must follow regarding the use of the NASA Insignia (or “meatball” logo), NASA Logotype (or “worm” logo) and other NASA identifiers. Do not use the NASA Insignia or other NASA identifiers, or space agency partner logos, without express permission. Collaborators are expected to use the Space Apps branding, and not the NASA Insignia, NASA Logotype, or other NASA mission logos. Any use of NASA imagery must conform to NASA’s Media Usage Guidelines.
(See https://www.nasa.gov/multimedia/guidelines/index.html). If you have any questions about logo use, please contact the Space Apps Collaborator Lead, Marie Mimiaga at GOTeam@spaceappschallenge.org 

Collaborator Chat Channel *For Global Collaborators Only*
Global Collaborators have the opportunity to have one to three representatives from their organization in the Space Apps Collaborator Chat Channel at any given time throughout the event’s open channel dates October 7-8, 2023. Communication in this channel is limited to supporting the Space Apps participants creating their projects and/or facilitating use of your organization’s Global Offer. You are expected to use language that is professional and inclusive for the participants at all times in the Collaborator Chat Channel. The Space Apps Program encourages such practices and prohibit bullying, favoritism, or similar misconduct or atmosphere which is inconsistent with the NASA values of safety, integrity, teamwork, excellence, and inclusion.

Termination: In the event of any violation of the above Terms and Conditions, in consequence of laws, regulations, or policies to which NASA is subject, or for any other reason within NASA’s reasonable discretion, NASA may rescind the offer to act as a Collaborator upon notice, and in such event, your organization shall no longer be considered a Collaborator for Space Apps. Any such actions could also result in your organization not being considered for collaboration in future Space Apps Challenges.
