You accept and agree to the following terms and conditions for Your past, present and future Contributions submitted to the AO Kaspersky Lab (“Company”).

1. Definitions. "You" (or "Your") shall mean the legal owner of the Contribution that is making this CLA with the Company. For legal entities, the entity making a Contribution and all other entities that control, are controlled by, or are under common control with that entity are considered to be a single Contributor. For the purposes of this definition, "control" means (i) the power, direct or indirect, to cause the direction or management of such entity, whether by contract or otherwise, or (ii) ownership of fifty percent (50%) or more of the outstanding shares, or (iii) beneficial ownership of such entity. "Contribution" shall mean any original work of authorship, including any derivative works, modifications or additions to an existing work, that is intentionally submitted by You to the Company for inclusion in, or documentation of, any of the products owned or distributed by the Company (the "Work"). You acknowledge that the Company desires to have all contributions made by You under the terms of this CLA and, thus, this CLA will apply to all of your Contributions submitted both before and after the date of signature. For the purposes of this definition, "submitted" means any form of electronic, verbal, or written communication sent to the Company 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, the Company for the purpose of discussing and improving the Work.
