 Co-operation Agreement

Preamble

The Uganda OSM Guidelines and Training Workgroup is an unofficial group of OpenStreetMap users in Uganda supporting but not controlling the OpenStreetMap project. It is dedicated to encouraging the growth, development and distribution of free geospatial data and to providing geospatial data for anybody to use and share. This agreement constitutes the co-operation with OpenStreetMap Uganda (tradename MapUganda) as a local organisation promoting and using OpenStreetMap and defines the rights and obligations of both the Uganda Guidelines and Training Workgroup and OpenStreetMap Uganda (tradename MapUganda).

2. Purpose

The Workgroup and MapUganda each shall seek to mutually support the activities of the other. The Workgroup shall represent the interests of its constituency to MapUganda. The declared goals of the Workgroup must be aligned with those of MapUganda. If the Workgroup is a sub-organisation of a larger body, the goals of the larger body must not be in opposition to those of MapUganda.

5. OpenStreetMap logos and trademarks

5.1. OpenStreetMap through The OpenStreetMap Foundation and MapUganda seeks to protect its interest in its trade and business marks, and other intellectual property in addition to ensuring that its good reputation is not tarnished by the improper use of those marks. In this agreement "OpenStreetMap related marks" refers to: "OpenStreetMap", "OSM" used in a geodata context, "OpenStreetMap Foundation", "OSM Foundation", "OSMF", "State of the Map", "SOTM", and the OpenStreetMap magnifying glass logo (CTM 007366991) and derivatives. The OpenStreetMap Foundation may update the list of OpenStreetMap related marks from time to time by informing the Chapter of any changes.

5.2. The Workgroup is hereby granted, by the OpenStreetMap Foundation and MapUganda, a licence, for the duration of this agreement, to use the operating title and logo. On termination of this, the Workgroup must transfer any registrations of OpenStreetMap related marks or similar exclusive rights to the OpenStreetMap Foundation and MapUganda or, in the case of registered rights, de-register them.

5.3. The Workgroup will respect any OpenStreetMap visual identity guidelines and intellectual property policies communicated to it by the OpenStreetMap Foundation or MapUganda from time to time.

7.3 The OpenStreetMap Foundation and MapUganda agrees to support the activities of the Workgroup and to as far as possible not engage in any activity that negatively impacts the work or image of the Workgroup.

10.2. MapUganda may terminate this agreement immediately if:

  2. if the Workgroup ceases to support the goals outlined in the preamble of this agreement; or

The termination is effective as soon as the MapUganda notifies the Workgroup.


10.3. If either party would like to terminate this agreement, both parties agree to a mandatory mediation process, to be conducted before a mediator which must be an OpenStreetMap user without conflict of interest and free of charge, agreed by the parties.
