+# Contributor Covenant Code of Conduct
+
+## Our Pledge
+We as members, contributors, and maintainers pledge to make participation in our community a harassment-free experience for everyone, regardless of age, body size, visible or invisible disability, ethnicity, sex characteristics, gender identity and expression, level of experience, education, socio-economic status, nationality, personal appearance, race, religion, or sexual identity and orientation.
+
+We pledge to act and interact in ways that contribute to an open, welcoming, diverse, inclusive, and healthy community.
+
+## Our Standards
+Examples of behavior that contributes to a positive environment include:
+- Demonstrating empathy and kindness toward other people
+- Being respectful of differing opinions, viewpoints, and experiences
+- Giving and gracefully accepting constructive feedback
+- Accepting responsibility and apologizing to those affected by our mistakes, and learning from the experience
+- Focusing on what is best for the overall community
+
+Examples of unacceptable behavior include:
+- The use of sexualized language or imagery, and sexual attention or advances of any kind
+- Trolling, insulting or derogatory comments, and personal or political attacks
+- Public or private harassment
+- Publishing others' private information, such as a physical or email address, without their explicit permission
+- Other conduct which could reasonably be considered inappropriate in a professional setting
+
+## Enforcement Responsibilities
+Project maintainers are responsible for clarifying and enforcing our standards of acceptable behavior and will take appropriate and fair corrective action in response to any behavior that they deem inappropriate, threatening, offensive, or harmful.
+
+Project maintainers have the right and responsibility to remove, edit, or reject comments, commits, code, wiki edits, issues, and other contributions that are not aligned to this Code of Conduct.
+
+## Scope
+This Code of Conduct applies within all project spaces (GitHub issues, pull requests, reviews, and discussions), and also applies when an individual is officially representing the project in public spaces.
+
+## Enforcement
+Instances of abusive, harassing, or otherwise unacceptable behavior may be reported to the project maintainers at:
+
+**samri12@student.ubc.ca**
+
+All complaints will be reviewed and investigated promptly and fairly. All maintainers are obligated to respect the privacy and security of the reporter of any incident.
+
+## Enforcement Guidelines
+Project maintainers will follow these Community Impact Guidelines in determining the consequences for any action they deem in violation of this Code of Conduct:
+
+1. **Correction**
+   - **Community Impact:** Use of inappropriate language or other behavior deemed unprofessional or unwelcome in the community.
+   - **Consequence:** A private written warning from maintainers, providing clarity around the nature of the violation and an explanation of why the behavior was inappropriate.
+
+2. **Warning**
+   - **Community Impact:** A violation through a single incident or series of actions.
+   - **Consequence:** A warning with consequences for continued behavior. No interaction with the people involved for a specified period of time. Violating these terms may lead to a temporary or permanent ban.
+
+3. **Temporary Ban**
+   - **Community Impact:** A serious violation of community standards, including sustained inappropriate behavior.
+   - **Consequence:** A temporary ban from any interaction with the community for a specified period of time. Violating these terms may lead to a permanent ban.
+
+4. **Permanent Ban**
+   - **Community Impact:** Demonstrating a pattern of violation of community standards, including sustained inappropriate behavior, harassment of an individual, or aggression toward or disparagement of classes of individuals.
+   - **Consequence:** A permanent ban from any interaction within the community.
