Terms and Conditions for Participation in snom technology AG’s XML Contest 2007

Terms and conditions of the snom XML-Contest

I. Purpose and Terms of Contest

snom technology AG is holding the following contest:

  1. The contest will begin on September 4th, 2007, and end on October 22nd, 2007, at 12 noon EDT (18:00 hours CET). During this time period all contestants registered with snom and fulfilling the eligibility requirements stated in Article II, below, are entitled to submit XML files to enter the contest.
    For this purpose snom will set up a Wiki at http://contest.snom.com where each contestant will create his or her own page and submit one or more entries in the contest. Contestants must complete and send the entry form on the web page. Upon successful registration, contestants will receive an email with the access data to their account, i.e., user name and password for the Wiki, and will then be able to create their page.
    After the contest has ended, the XML solution will continue to be publicized on the Wiki at http://contest.snom.com and thus keep promoting the recognition of participating programmers.
    The XML program must be designed for the XML minibrowser of the four snom phones of the 3x0 series. Please refer to the Wiki entry at http://wiki.snom.com/minibrowser for format descriptions and guidelines to be used for submitted entries.
  2. There will be two separate contests, one for business applications and one for lifestyle applications. Examples for business applications are services providing a calculator, a currency conversion program, or a technical dictionary, or entries supporting an operational function like opening the entrance door to the office building. Entries in the lifestyle category are applications without a business purpose or function like, for example, games or animations.
  3. Contestants agree to the publication of their XML programs under the terms of the BSD licence (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BSD_licenses). Contestants acknowledge that they will thereby make the source codes available to the public. Anyone may use and modify the source codes, but must retain the copyright notice of the original authors. The source codes can be downloaded from snom or a third party provider. If a script language like Perl or PHP is used, a link to a working demo must be provided.
  4. All entries must have been received by 12 noon EDT (18:00 hours CET), October 22nd, 2007. snom technology AG does not assume any liability for the accessibility of the contest web page or the loss or incompleteness of submitted data.
  5. By submitting an entry in the contest, the contestant agrees to the terms and conditions of participation. The contestant further affirms expressly that by submitting the entry he or she is not violating any rights of third parties and that he or she is the author of the entry.

II. Eligibility Restrictions

  2. No purchase is necessary to enter or win the contest. A purchase will not increase your chance of winning. All entries in the contest are subject to these Terms and Conditions. Registrations must contain the contestant’s name, email address, preferred user name, and home address. The contestant agrees to the storage and use of this data for the purpose of participating in this contest.
