# Snyk CLI tool contributor agreement
This Contributor Licence Agreement (“Agreement”) sets out the terms under which contributions are made to open source projects of Snyk Ltd (“Snyk”) by or on behalf of the Contributor. This Agreement is legally binding on the Contributor.

This Snyk CLI tool Agreement (this **"Agreement"**) applies to any Contribution you make to any Work.

Who the “Contributor” is depends on whether the person submitting the contribution is a private individual acting on their own behalf, or is acting on behalf of someone else (for example, their employer). The “Contributor” in this Agreement is therefore either: (i) if the individual who Submits a Contribution does so on behalf of their employer or another Legal Entity, any Legal Entity on behalf of whom a Contribution has been received by Snyk; or in all other cases (ii) the individual who Submits a Contribution to Snyk. "Legal Entity" means an entity which is not a natural person (for example, a limited company or corporation).

This is a binding legal agreement on you and any organization you represent. If you are signing this Agreement on behalf of your employer or other organization, you represent and warrant that you have the authority to agree to this Agreement on behalf of the organization.
