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 |

|
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 considerations |

By exercising the Licensed Rights (defined below), You accept and agree |
|
to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Creative Commons |
|
Attribution-ShareAlike 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 |

|
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 |
|

|
synched in timed relation with a moving image. |

|
e. 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. |
|
|

|
Public License are Attribution and ShareAlike. |

h. Licensed Material means the artistic or literary work, database, |
|
or other material to which the Licensor applied this Public |
|
License. |
|
|
|
i. Licensed Rights means the rights granted to You subject to the |

j. Licensor means the individual(s) or entity(ies) granting rights |
|
under this Public License. |

k. Share means to provide material to the public by any means or |

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. |
|
|
|
l. 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. |
|
|
|
m. 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 |
|
|
|
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 |
|
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. Additional offer from the Licensor -- Adapted Material. |
|
Every recipient of Adapted Material from You |
|
automatically receives an offer from the Licensor to |
|
exercise the Licensed Rights in the Adapted Material |
|
under the conditions of the Adapter's License You apply. |
|
|
|
c. 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. |
|
|
|
b. ShareAlike. |
|
|
|
In addition to the conditions in Section 3(a), if You Share |
|
Adapted Material You produce, the following conditions also apply. |
|
|
|
1. The Adapter's License You apply must be a Creative Commons |
|
license with the same License Elements, this version or |
|
later, or a BY-SA Compatible License. |
|
|
|
2. You must include the text of, or the URI or hyperlink to, the |
|
Adapter's License You apply. You may satisfy this condition |
|
in any reasonable manner based on the medium, means, and |
|
context in which You Share Adapted Material. |
|
|
|
3. You may not offer or impose any additional or different terms |
|
or conditions on, or apply any Effective Technological |
|
Measures to, Adapted Material that restrict exercise of the |
|
rights granted under the Adapter's License You apply. |
|
|
|
|
|
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, |
|
including for purposes of Section 3(b); 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 |
|
|
|
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 |
|
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. |

|
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. |
