Section 2 - Scope. |
|

|
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]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 [7]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 |

|
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 [8]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. |

|
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 [10]3(a)(1)(A) to the extent |
|
reasonably practicable. |
|

|
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: |

|
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 [12]3(a) if You |
|
Share all or a substantial portion of the contents of the database. |
|
|
|
For the avoidance of doubt, this Section [13]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 [14]6(a), it reinstates: |

|
it is cured within 30 days of Your discovery of the violation; |
|
or |

For the avoidance of doubt, this Section [15]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 |

|
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. |

|
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. |
|

a limitation upon, or waiver of, any privileges and immunities that |
