Contributors retain ownership of their Contributions for purposes of attribution and non-commercial use, but grant OTW a perpetual, worldwide license to use and distribute such Contributions under the OTW License. All commercial rights are reserved to OTW. No provision of this Agreement transfers ownership of OTW intellectual property to any third party.

OTW owns all official files, trademarks, and logos.

Contributors own their submissions but agree those are derivative works of OTW designs.

Contributors can use their designs non-commercially, but commercial rights stay with OTW.

All Contributor submissions to OTW shall be deemed Derivative Works of OTW’s base designs, regardless of the extent of modification. Contributor warrants that they own or control all rights to their submission and that it does not infringe third-party rights.

Sponsorship renews automatically on a monthly basis, subject to timely payment.
