Terms and Conditions for Developers

1. Developers can win 1000$ (tax-free)  by creating and submitting a Flash/Flex application that is real time collaborative and uses the XTWIP framework and service in order to achieve real time collaboration features.
2. By real time collaboration features one must understand that several users cansimultaneously edit the same content within the same instance of the application. For example, if the application draws&designs wireframes for user-interfaces, real time collaboration would allow multiple users to edit the same wireframe (drag buttons, change labels, create, delete, group elements and so on) at the same time, all of them seeing the changes being made almost instantaneously.
3. By submitting, all developers must agree to publish source code and executable form (swf) applications under the Apache 2.0 license. XTWIP will publish all the submitted applications (both source code and executable form), mentioning the author’s name.
4. The developer can choose to keep his anonymity. In that situation, only the application will be published.
5. After the submission period deadline (7th of May), all the applications will be published on www.xtwip.com
6. The winning application will be decided by open vote, in the 7 days following the submission deadline (8 – 15 May). The official winner will be announced on the 16th of May.
7. The announced Winning Developer will receive a prize of 1000$, tax-free on a credit/debit card or bank account of their choice.
8. Developers who were referred to by a third party must confirm the identity of that third party by its email address upon the developer’s registration. A developer can only mention one referrer. The referrer confirmed by the winning developer also receives a 500$ prize.
9. The Developer can include any other technology, framework or source code available to him, as long there are no licensing conflict with the submitted application or that the developer has explicit permission for use. All liability for potential conflict belongs to the Developer.
10. Developers agree to design the user experience and interface for their application only in English.
11. In order for the prize to be given by XTWIP to the Winning Developer, a minimum of 10 (ten)  eligible applications must be submitted before the specified the deadline. In case fewer applications are submitted, XTWIP retains the right not to give the 1000$ prize to the Winning Developer.
12. Teams of developers may apply to work together on the same application. However, we only deal with one contact person and there is only one prize
