### 7.3. Intellectual Property Ownership

|

All code developed as part of the Mentorship Programme is subject to our Mentorship Programme Terms and Conditions regarding intellectual property rights. Participants should familiarise themselves with these terms before beginning development work.

**Your flagship project belongs to you.** NHCarrigan makes no claim to intellectual property rights over projects developed during the Mentorship Programme. You own your project outright and are free to licence it however you choose.

**Regarding style standards:** Our Style Guide applies only to contributions to NHCarrigan-maintained repositories — it does not apply to your flagship project. You are entirely free to choose your own coding style, linting tools, licence, and copyright attribution for your own project.
