GitHub Sponsors Additional Terms

Your participation in the GitHub Sponsors Program (the "Program") is subject to the GitHub Terms of Service (the "Agreement") or other agreement you have with GitHub (for example the GitHub Customer General Terms, the GitHub Corporate Terms of Service or other agreement), as well as the following additional terms ("Additional Terms"). Any use of the GitHub Sponsors Program that violates the Agreement will also be a violation of these Additional Terms. Any capitalized terms used but not defined below have the meanings in the Agreement. These Additional Terms for the GitHub Sponsors Program describe the relationship between GitHub and you, the "Sponsored Developer", for the Program. The Additional Terms are effective as of the date you accept them ("Effective Date").

The purpose of this Agreement is to: 1) set forth the terms under which Sponsors will participate in the GitHub Sponsors Program (the "Program"); and 2) set forth the terms under which Sponsored Developers may participate in the Program. The Program allows sponsors to identify certain open source projects ("Projects") housed on GitHub and to make committed investments in those Projects to further the Projects' development.
