Creative Commons Corporation (“Creative Commons”) is not a law firm and does not
|
||
provide legal services or legal advice. Distribution of Creative Commons public
|
||
licenses does not create a lawyer-client or other relationship. Creative Commons
|
||
makes its licenses and related information available on an “as-is” basis.
|
||
Creative Commons gives no warranties regarding its licenses, any material
|

Commons disclaims all liability for damages resulting from their use to the

||
### Using Creative Commons Public Licenses
|
||
|
||
Creative Commons public licenses provide a standard set of terms and conditions
|
||
that creators and other rights holders may use to share original works of
|
||
authorship and other material subject to copyright and certain other rights
|
||
specified in the public license below. The following considerations are for
|
||
informational purposes only, are not exhaustive, and do not form part of our
|
||
licenses.
|
||
|
||
* __Considerations for licensors:__ Our public licenses are intended for use by
|
||
those authorized to give the public permission to use material in ways otherwise
|
||
restricted by copyright and certain other rights. Our licenses are irrevocable.
|
||
Licensors should read and understand the terms and conditions of the license
|
||
they choose before applying it. Licensors should also secure all rights
|
||
necessary before applying our licenses so that the public can reuse the material
|
||
as expected. Licensors should clearly mark any material not subject to the license.
|
||
This includes other CC-licensed material, or material used under an exception or
|
||
limitation to copyright.

||

|
||
|
||
* __Considerations for the public:__ By using one of our public licenses, a
|
||
licensor grants the public permission to use the licensed material under
|
||
specified terms and conditions. If the licensor’s permission is not necessary
|
||
for any reason–for example, because of any applicable exception or limitation
|
||
to copyright–then that use is not regulated by the license. Our licenses grant
|
||
only permissions under copyright and certain other rights that a licensor has
|
||
authority to grant. Use of the licensed material may still be restricted for
|
||
other reasons, including because others have copyright or other rights in the
|
||
material. A licensor may make special requests, such as asking that all changes
|
||
be marked or described. Although not required by our licenses, you are
|
||
encouraged to respect those requests where reasonable.

bound by the terms and conditions of this Creative Commons Attribution 4.0
|
||
International Public License ("Public License"). To the extent this Public
|
||
License may be interpreted as a contract, You are granted the Licensed Rights in
|
||
consideration of Your acceptance of these terms and conditions, and the Licensor
|

|
||
|

|
||
individually chosen by them.
|
||
|
||
j. __Sui Generis Database Rights__ means rights other than copyright resulting
|
||

|
||
as other essentially equivalent rights anywhere in the world.
|
||
|
||

|
||
this Public License. Your has a corresponding meaning.
|
||
|
||
### Section 2 – Scope.
|
||
|
||
a. ___License grant.___
|
||
|
||
1. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Public License, the Licensor
|
||
hereby grants You a worldwide, royalty-free, non-sublicensable,
|
||
non-exclusive, irrevocable license to exercise the Licensed Rights in the
|
||
Licensed Material to:
|
||
|
||
A. reproduce and Share the Licensed Material, in whole or in part; and
|
||
|
||
B. produce, reproduce, and Share Adapted Material.
|
||
|
||
2. __Exceptions and Limitations.__ For the avoidance of doubt, where
|
||
Exceptions and Limitations apply to Your use, this Public License does not
|
||
apply, and You do not need to comply with its terms and conditions.
|
||
|
||
3. __Term.__ The term of this Public License is specified in Section 6(a).
|
||
|
||
4. __Media and formats; technical modifications allowed.__ The Licensor
|
||
authorizes You to exercise the Licensed Rights in all media and formats
|
||
whether now known or hereafter created, and to make technical modifications
|
||
necessary to do so. The Licensor waives and/or agrees not to assert any right
|
||
or authority to forbid You from making technical modifications necessary to
|
||
exercise the Licensed Rights, including technical modifications necessary to
|
||
circumvent Effective Technological Measures. For purposes of this Public
|
||
License, simply making modifications authorized by this Section 2(a)(4)
|
||
never produces Adapted Material.
|
||
|
||
5. __Downstream recipients.__
|
||
|
||
A. __Offer from the Licensor – Licensed Material.__ Every recipient of
|
||
the Licensed Material automatically receives an offer from the Licensor
|
||
to exercise the Licensed Rights under the terms and conditions of this
|
||
Public License.
|
||
|
||
B. __No downstream restrictions.__ You may not offer or impose any
|
||
additional or different terms or conditions on, or apply any Effective
|
||
Technological Measures to, the Licensed Material if doing so restricts
|
||
exercise of the Licensed Rights by any recipient of the Licensed
|
||
Material.
|
||
|
||
6. __No endorsement.__ Nothing in this Public License constitutes or may be
|
||
construed as permission to assert or imply that You are, or that Your use of
|
||
the Licensed Material is, connected with, or sponsored, endorsed, or granted
|
||
official status by, the Licensor or others designated to receive attribution
|
||
as provided in Section 3(a)(1)(A)(i).
|
||
|
||
b. ___Other rights.___
|
||
|
||
1. Moral rights, such as the right of integrity, are not licensed under this
|
||
Public License, nor are publicity, privacy, and/or other similar personality
|
||
rights; however, to the extent possible, the Licensor waives and/or agrees
|
||
not to assert any such rights held by the Licensor to the limited extent
|
||
necessary to allow You to exercise the Licensed Rights, but not otherwise.
|
||
|
||
2. Patent and trademark rights are not licensed under this Public License.
|
||
|
||
3. To the extent possible, the Licensor waives any right to collect royalties
|
||
from You for the exercise of the Licensed Rights, whether directly or through
|
||
a collecting society under any voluntary or waivable statutory or compulsory
|
||
licensing scheme. In all other cases the Licensor expressly reserves any
|
||
right to collect such royalties.
|
||
|
||
### Section 3 – License Conditions.
|
||
|
||
Your exercise of the Licensed Rights is expressly made subject to the following
|
||
conditions.
|
||
|
||
a. ___Attribution.___
|
||
|
||
1. If You Share the Licensed Material (including in modified form), You must:
|
||
|
||
A. retain the following if it is supplied by the Licensor with the
|
||
Licensed Material:
|
||
|
||
i. identification of the creator(s) of the Licensed Material and any
|
||
others designated to receive attribution, in any reasonable manner
|
||
requested by the Licensor (including by pseudonym if designated);
|
||
|
||
ii. a copyright notice;
|
||
|
||
iii. a notice that refers to this Public License;
|
||
|
||
iv. a notice that refers to the disclaimer of warranties;
|
||
|
||
v. a URI or hyperlink to the Licensed Material to the extent reasonably
|
||
practicable;
|
||
|
||
B. indicate if You modified the Licensed Material and retain an
|
||
indication of any previous modifications; and
|
||
|
||
C. indicate the Licensed Material is licensed under this Public License,
|
||
and include the text of, or the URI or hyperlink to, this Public License.
|
||
|
||
2. You may satisfy the conditions in Section 3(a)(1) in any reasonable manner
|
||
based on the medium, means, and context in which You Share the Licensed
|
||
Material. For example, it may be reasonable to satisfy the conditions by
|
||
providing a URI or hyperlink to a resource that includes the required
|
||
information.
|
||
|
||
3. If requested by the Licensor, You must remove any of the information
|
||
required by Section 3(a)(1)(A) to the extent reasonably practicable.
|
||
|
||
4. If You Share Adapted Material You produce, the Adapter's License You apply
|
||
must not prevent recipients of the Adapted Material from complying with this
|
||
Public License.
|
||
|
||
### Section 4 – Sui Generis Database Rights.
|
||
|
||
Where the Licensed Rights include Sui Generis Database Rights that apply to Your
|
||
use of the Licensed Material:
|
||
|
||
a. for the avoidance of doubt, Section 2(a)(1) grants You the right to extract,
|
||
reuse, reproduce, and Share all or a substantial portion of the contents of the
|
||
database;
|
||
|
||
b. if You include all or a substantial portion of the database contents in a
|
||
database in which You have Sui Generis Database Rights, then the database in
|
||
which You have Sui Generis Database Rights (but not its individual contents) is
|
||
Adapted Material; and
|
||
|
||
c. You must comply with the conditions in Section 3(a) if You Share all or a
|
||
substantial portion of the contents of the database.
|
||
|
||
For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 4 supplements and does not replace
|
||
Your obligations under this Public License where the Licensed Rights include
|
||
other Copyright and Similar Rights.
|
||
|
||
### Section 5 – Disclaimer of Warranties and Limitation of Liability.
|
||
|
||
a. __Unless otherwise separately undertaken by the Licensor, to the extent
|
||
possible, the Licensor offers the Licensed Material as-is and as-available, and
|
||
makes no representations or warranties of any kind concerning the Licensed
|
||
Material, whether express, implied, statutory, or other. This includes, without
|
||
limitation, warranties of title, merchantability, fitness for a particular
|
||
purpose, non-infringement, absence of latent or other defects, accuracy, or the
|
||
presence or absence of errors, whether or not known or discoverable. Where
|
||
disclaimers of warranties are not allowed in full or in part, this disclaimer
|
||
may not apply to You.__
|
||
|
||
b. __To the extent possible, in no event will the Licensor be liable to You on
|
||
any legal theory (including, without limitation, negligence) or otherwise for
|
||
any direct, special, indirect, incidental, consequential, punitive, exemplary,
|
||
or other losses, costs, expenses, or damages arising out of this Public License
|
||
or use of the Licensed Material, even if the Licensor has been advised of the
|
||
possibility of such losses, costs, expenses, or damages. Where a limitation of
|
||
liability is not allowed in full or in part, this limitation may not apply to
|
||
You.__
|
||
|
||
c. The disclaimer of warranties and limitation of liability provided above shall
|
||
be interpreted in a manner that, to the extent possible, most closely
|
||
approximates an absolute disclaimer and waiver of all liability.
|
||
|
||
### Section 6 – Term and Termination.
|
||
|
||
a. This Public License applies for the term of the Copyright and Similar Rights
|
||
licensed here. However, if You fail to comply with this Public License, then
|
||
Your rights under this Public License terminate automatically.
|
||
|
||
b. Where Your right to use the Licensed Material has terminated under Section
|
||
6(a), it reinstates:
|
||
|
||
1. automatically as of the date the violation is cured, provided it is cured
|
||
within 30 days of Your discovery of the violation; or
|
||
|
||
2. upon express reinstatement by the Licensor.
|
||
|
||
For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 6(b) does not affect any right the
|
||
Licensor may have to seek remedies for Your violations of this Public
|
||
License.
|
||
|
||
c. For the avoidance of doubt, the Licensor may also offer the Licensed Material
|
||
under separate terms or conditions or stop distributing the Licensed Material
|
||
at any time; however, doing so will not terminate this Public License.
|
||
|
||
d. Sections 1, 5, 6, 7, and 8 survive termination of this Public License.
|
||
|
||
### Section 7 – Other Terms and Conditions.
|
||
|
||
a. The Licensor shall not be bound by any additional or different terms or
|
||
conditions communicated by You unless expressly agreed.
|
||
|
||
b. Any arrangements, understandings, or agreements regarding the Licensed
|
||
Material not stated herein are separate from and independent of the terms and
|
||
conditions of this Public License.
|
||
|
||
### Section 8 – Interpretation.
|
||
|
||
a. For the avoidance of doubt, this Public License does not, and shall not be
|
||
interpreted to, reduce, limit, restrict, or impose conditions on any use of the
|
||
Licensed Material that could lawfully be made without permission under this
|
||
Public License.
|
||
|
||
b. To the extent possible, if any provision of this Public License is deemed
|
||
unenforceable, it shall be automatically reformed to the minimum extent
|
||
necessary to make it enforceable. If the provision cannot be reformed, it shall
|
||
be severed from this Public License without affecting the enforceability of the
|
||
remaining terms and conditions.
|
||
|
||
c. No term or condition of this Public License will be waived and no failure to
|
||
comply consented to unless expressly agreed to by the Licensor.
|
||
|
||
d. Nothing in this Public License constitutes or may be interpreted as a
|
||
limitation upon, or waiver of, any privileges and immunities that apply to the
|
||
Licensor or You, including from the legal processes of any jurisdiction or
|
||
authority.
