Github Terms Github Event Code Of Conduct (GitHub)

Open Legal LibraryUpdated 13 Oct 2025

The GitHub Event Code of Conduct sets behavioural standards to ensure that all participants at GitHub events have a safe, respectful, and harassment-free experience. It can be trusted because it clearly defines acceptable and unacceptable conduct, includes transparent reporting procedures, and is based on a well-established, openly licensed anti-harassment policy.

[company name] Event Code of Conduct

Code of Conduct

By attending a [company name] event, including any of the events or activities organized by [company name] in association with the [company name] event (collectively the "Event"), you represent that you have read, understand, and agree to the following [company name] Event Code of Conduct (hereinafter “Code of Conduct”). This Code of Conduct applies to all attendees, speakers, exhibitors, sponsors, organizers, staff, and volunteers (collectively “Event Participants”) at the Event.

[company name] values the participation of all Event Participants and aims to create an event where all Event Participants have an enjoyable and fulfilling experience. Accordingly, all Event Participants are expected to show respect and courtesy to other Event Participants throughout the Event.

[company name] is dedicated to providing a positive and harassment-free experience for everyone, regardless of age, gender, gender identity and expression, sexual orientation, disability, personal appearance, body size, ethnicity, race, religion, nationality, or level of experience.

We do not tolerate harassment of Event Participants in any form, nor do we tolerate any behavior that would reasonably lead to an Event Participant being made to feel unsafe, insecure, or frightened for their physical or emotional well-being. All communication and behavior should be appropriate for a professional setting including people of many different backgrounds.

Examples of encouraged behavior that contributes to a positive environment include:

Using welcoming and inclusive language

Being respectful of differing viewpoints and experiences

Gracefully accepting constructive criticism

Focusing on what is best for everyone at the Event

Showing empathy towards others and Event Participants

Unacceptable behavior includes, but is not limited to:

The use of sexualized language or imagery

Inappropriate physical contact, sexual attention, or advances

Trolling, insulting or derogatory comments or behavior

Personal or political attacks toward Event Participants

Sustained disruption of talks or any other events or activities organized by [company name] in association with the Event

Intimidation, stalking, following, or harassing of Event Participants

Photography or recording of Event Participants without their consent

Harassment of any kind, even in a joking or ironic manner

Conduct which could reasonably be considered inappropriate in a professional setting

Each Event Participant is entirely responsible for their own actions.

Thank you for helping to make this a welcoming, friendly space for all.

Reporting an incident

If you are being harassed, notice that someone else is being harassed, have any other concerns, or if you believe an Event Participant is not acting in a way compliant with this Code of Conduct, please speak directly with a venue security officer or [company name] employee for urgent help, or email us at [company email] for non-urgent issues. For life threatening situations, please dial [number of emergency] immediately.

[company name] employees will be happy to help Event Participants contact security or local law enforcement, escort to safety, or otherwise assist those experiencing harassment to feel safe for the duration of the Event.

Mostly US and UK law. Some templates use general commercial terms that work across jurisdictions, and many note which law they're written for.

It depends on the situation. Templates work well for routine business agreements. For anything involving significant money, complex IP, employment, or areas you're unsure about, it's worth getting professional advice before you sign. GitLaw provides templates and tools, not legal advice.

Open any template in GitLaw and describe the change you want in the chat — 'make clause 4 mutual' or 'add a 30-day notice period', for example. GitLaw drafts the revised language and shows it as a suggested edit. You accept, reject, or keep editing from there.
