Overview
Since you'll be helping out Twitter (thanks again!) we want to let you know our ground rules. Please read
the full agreement below before continuing. Here are some of the things you can expect to see:
We may show you confidential, yet to be released products or features and you must be willing
to keep those secret.
You'll be volunteering to help out Twitter and will not be paid.
Twitter owns the rights to the translations you provide. You are giving them to us so that we can
use them however we want.
Among other things, Twitter plans to share the translations with the Twitter development
community. We want to help make all of the other great Twitter apps, not just Twitter.com, available
in your language.
Confidentiality
Features, functionality, text, graphics, and other information visible through the translator interface may
not be generally available to the public and all such features, functionality, text, graphics, or other
information shown through the translator interface are Twitter confidential information ("Confidential
Information"). You agree to keep Confidential Information confidential, not to disclose Confidential
Information to any other individual, organization, or entity, and not to use Confidential Information for any
purpose other than providing translations to Twitter.
Proprietary Rights
You acknowledge and agree that Twitter owns all legal right, title, and interest in and to the text strings,
including any intellectual property or other proprietary rights which may subsist in the text strings
translated or the resulting translations (whether those rights happen to be registered or not, and wherever
in the world those rights may exist). To the extent Twitter does not own all such right, title and interest,
you hereby assign such rights, title, and interest to Twitter. You therefore acknowledge that you have no
intellectual property or other proprietary rights in such text strings translated or the resulting translations.
No Compensation or Employment
You understand that Twitter, other Twitter users, and the general public, may use your translations for
any purpose. You acknowledge that you are providing these translations on a purely voluntary basis, as a
means of assisting, and in consideration of the opportunity to assist, the Twitter community to use,
implement, and understand various facets of the Twitter platform. Twitter makes no guarantee or
representation as to whether or not your translations will be used, and you understand and acknowledge
that Twitter will not compensate you for the translations that you provide. Furthermore, you acknowledge
and agree that nothing in this agreement or in yo ur voluntary submission of translations creates any
employment relationship between you and Twitter.
Notices
Unless otherwise set forth in this Agreement, Twitter may give general notices to you by posting on any
Twitter web site (e.g., twitter.com) and, where possible, by electronic mail to your email address.
Limitations of Liability
IN NO EVENT SHALL TWITTER, ITS EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, ATTORNEYS, CONSULTANTS, OR
CONTRACTORS BE LIABLE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT FOR ANY CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL,
LOST PROFITS, INDIRECT OR OTHER DAMAGES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOST
PROFITS, LOSS OF BUSINESS, COST OF COVER WHETHER BASED IN CONTRACT, TORT
(INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), OR OTHERWISE, EVEN IF TWITTER HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE
POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES AND NOTWITHSTANDING ANY FAILURE OF ESSENTIAL
PURPOSE OF ANY LIMITED REMEDY. IN ANY EVENT, TWITTERS, ITS EMPLOYEES, AGENTS,
ATTORNEYS, CONSULTANTS OR CONTRACTORS AGGREGATE LIABILITY UNDER THIS
AGREEMENT FOR ANY CLAIM SHALL BE STRICTLY LIMITED TO $100.00. SOME STATES DO NOT
ALLOW THE LIMITATION OR EXCLUSION OF LIABILITY FOR INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL
DAMAGES, SO THE ABOVE LIMITATION OR EXCLUSION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU. You
acknowledge that Twitter has entered into this Agreement in reliance upon the limitations of liability set
forth herein and that the same is an essential basis of the bargain between the parties.
Entire Agreement
This Agreement contains the entire agreement of the parties regarding the subject matter of this
Agreement and supersedes all previous communications, representations, understandings and
agreements, either oral or written, between you and Twitter. Twitter may modify the terms of this
Agreement at any time upon notice published on the Twitter Translation Center web site. Any use of the
Community Translation Program after such notice shall be deemed to be continued acceptance of this
Agreement including its amendments and modifications.
