+This agreement is between +you, being a registered member ("Member") +within CAcert's community at large ("Community") +and CAcert Incorporated ("CAcert"), +being an operator of services to the Community. +
+ ++You and CAcert both agree to the terms and conditions +in this agreement. +Your agreement is given by any of +
+ ++Your agreement +is effective from the date of the first event above +that makes this agreement known to you. +This Agreement +replaces and supercedes prior agreements, +including the NRP-DaL. +
+ + ++As part of the Community, CAcert offers you these rights: +
+ ++You agree to a non-exclusive non-restrictive non-revokable +transfer of Licence to CAcert for your contributions. +That is, if you post an idea or comment on a CAcert forum, +or email it to other Members, +your work can be used freely by the Community for +CAcert purposes, including placing under CAcert's licences +for wider publication. +
+ ++You retain authorship rights, and the rights to also transfer +non-exclusive rights to other parties. +That is, you can still use your +ideas and contributions outside the Community. +
+ ++Note that the following exceptions override this clause: +
+ ++You give rights to CAcert to store, verify and process +and publish your data in accordance with policies in force. +These rights include shipping the data to foreign countries +for system administration, support and processing purposes. +Such shipping will only be done among +CAcert Community administrators and Assurers. +
+ ++Privacy is further covered in the Privacy Policy ("PP" => COD5). +
+ ++As a Member, you have risks, liabilities +and obligations within this agreement. +
+ ++ You are obliged +
+ ++As a Member of CAcert, you are a member of +the Community. + You are further obliged to + work within the spirit of the Principles + of the Community. + These are described in + Principles of the Community. +
+ ++CAcert exists to help you to secure yourself. +You are primarily responsible for your own security. +Your security obligations include +
+ ++Where, above, 'secure' means to protect to a reasonable +degree, in proportion with your risks and the risks of +others. +
+ ++This agreement is governed under the law of +New South Wales, Australia, +being the home of the CAcert Inc. Association. +
+ ++You agree, with CAcert and all of the Community, +that all disputes arising out +of or in connection to our use of CAcert services +shall be referred to and finally resolved +by Arbitration under the rules within the +Dispute Resolution Policy of CAcert +(DRP => COD7). +The rules select a single Arbitrator chosen by CAcert +from among senior Members in the Community. +The ruling of the Arbitrator is binding and +final on Members and CAcert alike. +
+ ++In general, the jurisdiction for resolution of disputes +is within CAcert's own forum of Arbitration, +as defined and controlled by its own rules (DRP => COD7). +
+ ++We use Arbitration for many purposes beyond the strict +nature of disputes, such as governance and oversight. +A systems administrator may +need authorisation to conduct a non-routine action, +and Arbitration may provide that authorisation. +Thus, you may find yourself party to Arbitration +that is simply support actions, and you may file disputes in +order to initiate support actions. +
+ ++You may terminate this agreement by resigning +from CAcert. You may do this at any time by +writing to CAcert's online support forum and +filing dispute to resign. +All services will be terminated, and your +certificates will be revoked. +However, some information will continue to +be held for certificate processing purposes. +
+ ++The provisions on Arbitration survive any termination +by you by leaving CAcert. +That is, even if you resign from CAcert, +you are still bound by the DRP (COD7), +and the Arbitrator may reinstate any provision of this +agreement or bind you to a ruling. +
+ ++Only the Arbitrator may terminate this agreement with you. +
+ ++CAcert may from time to time vary the terms of this Agreement. +Changes will be done according to the documented CAcert policy +for changing policies, and is subject to scrutiny and feedback +by the Community. +Changes will be notified to you by email to your primary address. +
+ ++If you do not agree to the changes, you may terminate as above. +Continued use of the service shall be deemed to be agreement +by you. +
+ ++Notifications to CAcert are to be sent by +email to the address +support at CAcert.org. +You should attach a digital signature, +but need not do so in the event of security +or similar urgency. +
+ ++Notifications to you are sent +by CAcert to the primary email address +registered with your account. +You are responsible for keeping your email +account in good working order and able +to receive emails from CAcert. +
+ ++Arbitration is generally conducted by email. +
+ ++As well as you and other Members in the Community, +CAcert forms agreements with third party +vendors and others. +Thus, such parties will also be in the Community. +Such agreements are also controlled by the same +policy process as this agreement, and they should +mirror and reinforce these terms. +
+ + ++This agreement is CAcert Official Document 9 (COD9) +and is a controlled document. +
+ ++You are also bound by +
+ ++Where documents are referred to as => COD x, +they are controlled documents +under the control of Policy on Policies (COD1). +
+ ++This agreement and controlled documents above are primary, +and may not be replaced or waived except +by formal policy channels and by Arbitration. +
+ ++The governing documents are in English. +Documents may be translated for convenience. +Because we cannot control the legal effect of translations, +the English documents are the ruling ones. +
+ ++You are encouraged to be familiar with the +Assurer Handbook, +which provides a more readable introduction for much of +the information needed. +The Handbook is not however an agreement, and is overruled +by this agreement and others listed above. +
+ ++Intellectual Property. +This Licence does not transfer any intellectual +property rights ("IPR") to you. CAcert asserts and +maintains its IPR over its roots, issued certificates, +brands, logos and other assets. +Note that the certificates issued to you +are CAcert's intellectual property +and you do not have rights other than those stated. +
