\n\n## ❓FAQ\n\n\n### How often is the list of bounties updated?\n\nSeason 1 was launched during Q4-2022. A season usually lasts several weeks to months in order to give contributors enough time to work on their submissions.\n\n### How long will it take for a bounty submission to be reviewed?\n\nWe are reviewing most of the submissions at the end of every season. But feel free to submit your code at anytime through the submission link you received.\n\n### How are bounty submissions reviewed?\n\nEvery contribution to the bounty program is reviewed as a code submission. If the code does not meet the quality or the performance expected, the proposition will be rejected, or partially rewarded.\n\n\n### What is the reward for the bounty program?\nEach bounty is attributed a total envelope of €10,000 in rewards.\n\n#### 🥇Best submission: up to €5,000.\nTo be considered best submission, a contribution must be efficient, effective and demonstrate a deep understanding of the core problem. Alongside the technical correctness, it should also be submitted with a clean code, clear explanations, and complete documentation.\n\n#### 🥈Second-best submission: up to €3,000.\nFor a contribution to be considered the second best submission, it should be both efficient and effective.

Applicable Law and Jurisdiction\n\nThe Program and these GTC are governed by, and shall be construed in accordance with French law without its conflict of law provisions.\nAll disputes arising out of or in connection with the construction, performance, termination or invalidity of the Program or/and these GTC shall be resolved by negotiation between the parties.\n\nIf the parties have not resolved the dispute by coming to mutual agreement during twenty (20) calendar days after setting a notice on the dispute, Zama and Contributor give express and exclusive jurisdiction to the appropriate courts within the jurisdiction of the Court of Appeal of Paris, France notwithstanding a plurality of defendants or plaintiffs or summary proceedings or third party claim or precautionary measure or appeals.\n\n### Article 12. Miscellaneous\n\n#### 12.1.

Non waiver\n\nFailure by one of the parties to enforce any clause of these GTC, whether permanently or temporarily, shall under no circumstance be construed as a waiver of the rights of the said party under the said clause.\n\n#### 12.3.

The foregoing limitation applies to all causes of action in aggregate, including without limitation to breach of contract, breach of warranty, negligence, strict liability, and other torts.\n\nZama’s aggregate liability under the Program shall in any case be limited to the Bounty paid or payable to Contributor. Contributor agrees that this Article represents a reasonable allocation of risk and constitutes an essential clause of these GTC, in the absence of which these GTC would not have been executed and the Contributor’s participation in the Program would not have been validated by Zama. Zama does not exclude or limit its liability for death or personal injury caused by its negligence, for fraud or for any other liability which cannot be limited or excluded by applicable law.\n\nTHE PROGRAM IS PROVIDED “AS IS”. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ZAMA EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ALL REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES IN CONNECTION WITH THE PROGRAM, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, NON-INFRINGEMENT OF INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY, ACCURACY, COMPLETENESS, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND ANY WARRANTIES ARISING BY STATUTE OR OTHERWISE IN LAW OR FROM COURSE OF DEALING, COURSE OF PERFORMANCE, OR USE OF TRADE WHICH ARE HEREBY EXCLUDED AND CONTRIBUTOR UNDERSTANDS AND EXPRESSLY AGREES THAT HIS OR HER PARTICIPATION IN THE PROGRAM IS AT HIS OR HER OWN RISK.\n\n#### 8.2.

Each party is therefore solely responsible for the use of personal data that it makes for its own account independently of the other party. Each party acknowledges that it may communicate or transmit personal data to the other party for the performance of its obligations under these GTC. Each party warrants that such personal data is processed and transmitted in accordance with applicable data protection laws.\nEach party implements appropriate technical and organizational measures to ensure a level of security appropriate to the risks associated with the processing, these measures being in particular appropriate to protect against destruction, loss, alteration or unauthorized, accidental or unlawful disclosure of personal data processed under these GTC. These measures must take into account the state of the art, the nature, scope, context and purposes of the processing, as well as the risk of damage resulting from unauthorized or unlawful processing, or loss, destruction or alteration, accidental or unlawful, of personal data.\n\nPursuant to Article 15 of the GDPR, each party guarantees that it provides the data subjects with all the information requested concerning the processing of their personal data. In accordance with Articles 13, 14, 16, 17 and 21 of the GDPR, each party acknowledges that the persons concerned have a right of access, rectification, portability, erasure of their personal data or opposition to their use. When it deems it necessary, each party undertakes to communicate to the other any request that it may receive directly from a data subject exercising its aforementioned right concerning it and expressly referring to the other party.\n\nThe retention period for the Contributor's personal data is 10 (ten) years unless legal acts require a more extended retention period. Upon expiration of the Contributor's data retention period, Zama shall erase the data.\n\nZama and Contributor agree that, at the end of their contractual relationship, the archiving of the documents containing the said personal data will be carried out in accordance with the legislation in force, for the legal duration applicable to the documents which contain them and, in any case, the parties will allow the persons concerned to exercise their rights, within the limits permitted by the legislation in force, if they so request.\n\n### Article 10. Confidentiality\n\nContributor has an obligation to keep confidential all information to which he or she has had access or which he or she may have possessed in the context of the participation in the Program. Consequently, Contributor shall not disclose such information to any third party for any reason whatsoever and this regardless of the legal and/or economic ties that Contributor has with such a third party.\n\nContributor expressly agrees that the Vulnerability and other Contributions shall be deemed the Zama’s confidential information and Contributor shall not publish, discuss or disclose the Vulnerability and other Contributions to any third parties without Zama’s prior written approval which will not be unreasonably withheld.\n\nThis commitment will last for the entire duration of the contractual relationship between Contributor and Zama and will continue beyond the end of this contractual relationship occurring for any reason whatsoever, for as long as the confidential information has not fallen into the public domain by disclosure of the information by Zama.\n\nAt the end of the Contributor's participation in the Program, all information related to the Program, namely, data of any kind, including reports made by the Contributor, will be completely deleted from Contributor's databases and systems in accordance with his or her legal obligations.\n\nFailure to comply with this Article 10 and the requirement of confidentiality will automatically jeopardise the Bounty and also create risk of legal action, and Contributor expressly agrees to fully indemnity Zama for any losses as a result of such breach of these provisions.\n\n### Article 11. Applicable Law and Jurisdiction\n\nThe Program and these GTC are governed by, and shall be construed in accordance with French law without its conflict of law provisions.\nAll disputes arising out of or in connection with the construction, performance, termination or invalidity of the Program or/and these GTC shall be resolved by negotiation between the parties.\n\nIf the parties have not resolved the dispute by coming to mutual agreement during twenty (20) calendar days after setting a notice on the dispute, Zama and Contributor give express and exclusive jurisdiction to the appropriate courts within the jurisdiction of the Court of Appeal of Paris, France notwithstanding a plurality of defendants or plaintiffs or summary proceedings or third party claim or precautionary measure or appeals.\n\n### Article 12. Miscellaneous\n\n#### 12.1. Severability\nShould one or more of the provisions of these GTC be declared null and void in accordance with applicable law, they shall be deemed to be not written, and the other provisions herein shall remain in full force and effect. Such null and void provisions shall be replaced by the parties with the valid provisions allowing the parties to achieve the effect that was contemplated by the provisions declared null and void, to the extent possible.\n\n#### 12.2. Non waiver\nFailure by one of the parties to enforce any clause of these GTC, whether permanently or temporarily, shall under no circumstance be construed as a waiver of the rights of the said party under the said clause.\n\n#### 12.3. Third-Party Rights\nThe parties do not intend that any term of these GTC will be enforceable by any person who is not a party to these GTC.\n\nON BEHALF OF CONTRIBUTOR:\n\n- By:_____________________\n- Full Name:_____________________\n- Address:_____________________\n- Email Address:_____________________\n- Citizenship:_____________________\n- ID Number:_____________________\n- Freelancer No. or Social Security No.:_____________________\n- Registration Authority:_____________________\n" } ]
