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

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. More considerations for licensors :

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. More

International Public License

By exercising the Licensed Rights (defined below), You accept and agree
to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Creative Commons
Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 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 grants
You such rights in consideration of benefits the Licensor receives from
making the Licensed Material available under these terms and conditions.

-   Section 1 – Definitions.

    -   a. Adapted Material means material subject to Copyright and
        Similar Rights that is derived from or based upon the Licensed
        Material and in which the Licensed Material is translated,
        altered, arranged, transformed, or otherwise modified in a
        manner requiring permission under the Copyright and Similar
        Rights held by the Licensor. For purposes of this Public
        License, where the Licensed Material is a musical work,
        performance, or sound recording, Adapted Material is always
        produced where the Licensed Material is synched in timed
        relation with a moving image.
    -   b. Copyright and Similar Rights means copyright and/or similar
        rights closely related to copyright including, without
        limitation, performance, broadcast, sound recording, and Sui
        Generis Database Rights, without regard to how the rights are
        labeled or categorized. For purposes of this Public License, the
        rights specified in Section 2(b)(1)-(2) are not Copyright and
        Similar Rights.
    -   c. Effective Technological Measures means those measures that,
        in the absence of proper authority, may not be circumvented
        under laws fulfilling obligations under Article 11 of the WIPO
        Copyright Treaty adopted on December 20, 1996, and/or similar
        international agreements.
    -   d. Exceptions and Limitations means fair use, fair dealing,
        and/or any other exception or limitation to Copyright and
        Similar Rights that applies to Your use of the Licensed
        Material.
    -   e. Licensed Material means the artistic or literary work,
        database, or other material to which the Licensor applied this
        Public License.
    -   f. Licensed Rights means the rights granted to You subject to
        the terms and conditions of this Public License, which are
        limited to all Copyright and Similar Rights that apply to Your
        use of the Licensed Material and that the Licensor has authority
        to license.
    -   g. Licensor means the individual(s) or entity(ies) granting
        rights under this Public License.
    -   h. NonCommercial means not primarily intended for or directed
        towards commercial advantage or monetary compensation. For
        purposes of this Public License, the exchange of the Licensed
        Material for other material subject to Copyright and Similar
        Rights by digital file-sharing or similar means is NonCommercial
        provided there is no payment of monetary compensation in
        connection with the exchange.
    -   i. Share means to provide material to the public by any means or
        process that requires permission under the Licensed Rights, such
        as reproduction, public display, public performance,
        distribution, dissemination, communication, or importation, and
        to make material available to the public including in ways that
        members of the public may access the material from a place and
        at a time individually chosen by them.
    -   j. Sui Generis Database Rights means rights other than copyright
        resulting from Directive 96/9/EC of the European Parliament and
        of the Council of 11 March 1996 on the legal protection of
        databases, as amended and/or succeeded, as well as other
        essentially equivalent rights anywhere in the world.
    -   k. You means the individual or entity exercising the Licensed
        Rights under 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, for NonCommercial purposes only; and
            -   B. produce and reproduce, but not Share, Adapted
                Material for NonCommercial purposes only.
        -   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, including when
            the Licensed Material is used other than for NonCommercial
            purposes.

-   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, 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.

            For the avoidance of doubt, You do not have permission under
            this Public License to Share Adapted Material.

        -   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.

-   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 for
        NonCommercial purposes only and provided You do not Share
        Adapted Material;
    -   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.
