If any entity institutes patent litigation against You or any other entity (including a cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that Your Contribution, or the Project to which You have contributed, constitutes direct or contributory patent infringement, then any patent licenses granted to that entity under this Agreement for that Contribution or Project shall terminate as of the date such litigation is filed.

## Contributor License Agreement (CLA)
Before we can accept your contributions, you must sign our Contributor License Agreement (CLA). This is required because BentoPDF uses a dual licensing model:

The CLA ensures we can include your contributions in both versions of the project.

### For Corporate Contributors
If you are contributing on behalf of your employer, your organization needs to sign our [Corporate Contributor License Agreement (CCLA)](CCLA.md). Please contact us at [contact@bentopdf.com](mailto:contact@bentopdf.com) to arrange corporate CLA signing.
### What the CLA Grants
By signing the CLA, you:
- Grant us a broad copyright license to use, modify, and relicense your contributions (including for commercial use)
- Grant a patent license for any patents covering your contribution
- Represent that you have the authority to make the contribution
- Retain full copyright ownership of your contributions
