5. Licenses Associated With Software and Content of the Site and Services
5.1. The software running this Site is offered to the public under the terms of license listed in Section 19 below, incorporated herein by reference.
5.2. Any Work posted on, or obtained through, the Site or Services that does not display or otherwise contain a notice of license terms that apply to that Work, is licensed to the User under the terms of this Section. This license is granted only to the Users of the Site or Services as defined in Section 1 above. Throughout this Section 5, the capitalized term "You" refers to such User. THE WORKS (AS DEFINED IN SECTION 1 ABOVE) ARE PROVIDED UNDER THE TERMS OF THIS PUBLIC LICENSE ("LICENSE"). EACH WORK IS PROTECTED BY COPYRIGHT AND/OR OTHER APPLICABLE LAW. ANY USE OF THE WORK OTHER THAN AS AUTHORIZED UNDER THIS LICENSE OR COPYRIGHT LAW IS PROHIBITED. TO THE EXTENT THIS LICENSE MAY BE CONSIDERED TO BE A CONTRACT, THE LICENSOR GRANTS YOU THE RIGHTS CONTAINED HERE IN CONSIDERATION OF YOUR ACCEPTANCE OF THE TERMS, AS DEFINED IN SECTION 1, IN THEIR ENTIRETY.
5.3. Subject to your acceptance of, and compliance with, the entirety of these Terms, Licensor hereby grants You a worldwide, royalty-free, non-exclusive, perpetual (for the duration of the applicable copyright) license to exercise the rights in the Work as stated below:
to reproduce the Work, to incorporate the Work into one or more Collective Works, and to reproduce the Work as incorporated in the Collective Works; and
to distribute copies or recordings of, display publicly, perform publicly, and perform publicly by means of a digital transmission the Work including as incorporated in Collective Works; and
where the Work is a computer program, to run the unmodified Work on Your computer, smartphone, tablet, or other compatible device; and
where the Work is a computer program, to allow others to interact with it remotely through a computer network, such interaction being considered a public digital performance of the Work for the purposes of this License.
The above rights may be exercised in all media and formats whether now known or hereafter devised. The above rights include the right to make such modifications as are technically necessary to exercise the rights in other media and formats, but otherwise you have no rights to make Derivative Works. All rights not expressly granted by Licensor are hereby reserved, including but not limited to the rights set forth in Subsections 5.4(d) and 5.4(e).
5.4. The license granted in Subsection 5.3 above is expressly made subject to and limited by the following restrictions:
You may distribute, publicly display, publicly perform, or publicly digitally perform the Work only under the terms of this License, and You must include a copy of, or the Uniform Resource Identifier for, these Terms with every copy or phonorecord of the Work You distribute, publicly display, publicly perform, or publicly digitally perform. You may not offer or impose any terms on the Work that restrict the terms of this License or the ability of a recipient of the Work to exercise the rights granted to that recipient under the terms of the License. You may not sublicense the Work. You must keep intact all notices that refer to these Terms and to the disclaimer of warranties. When You distribute, publicly display, publicly perform, or publicly digitally perform the Work, You may not impose any technological measures on the Work that restrict the ability of a recipient of the Work from You to exercise the rights granted to that recipient under the terms of the License. This Subsection 5.4(a) applies to the Work as incorporated in a Collective Work, but this does not require the Collective Work apart from the Work itself to be made subject to the terms of this License. If You create a Collective Work, upon notice from any Licensor You must, to the extent practicable, remove from the Collective Work any credit as required by Subsection 5.4(c), as requested.
You may not exercise any of the rights granted to You in Subsection 5.3 above in any manner that is primarily intended for or directed toward commercial advantage or private monetary compensation. The exchange of the Work for other copyrighted works by means of digital file-sharing or otherwise shall not be considered to be intended for or directed toward commercial advantage or private monetary compensation, provided there is no payment of any monetary compensation in connection with the exchange of copyrighted works.
If You distribute, publicly display, publicly perform, or publicly digitally perform the Work (as defined in Section 1 above) or Collective Works (as defined in Section 1 above), You must, unless a request has been made pursuant to Subsection 5.4(a), keep intact all copyright notices for the Work and provide, reasonable to the medium or means You are utilizing: (i) the name of the Original Author (or pseudonym, if applicable) if supplied, and/or (ii) if the Original Author and/or Licensor designate another party or parties (e.g. a sponsor institute, publishing entity, journal) for attribution ("Attribution Parties") in Licensor's copyright notice, terms of service or by other reasonable means, the name of such party or parties; the title of the Work if supplied; to the extent reasonably practicable, the Uniform Resource Identifier, if any, that Licensor specifies to be associated with the Work, unless such URI does not refer to the copyright notice or licensing information for the Work. The credit required by this Subsection 5.4(c) may be implemented in any reasonable manner; provided, however, that in the case of a Collective Work, at a minimum such credit will appear, if a credit for all contributing authors of the Collective Work appears, then as part of these credits and in a manner at least as prominent as the credits for the other contributing authors. For the avoidance of doubt, You may only use the credit required by this clause for the purpose of attribution in the manner set out above and, by exercising Your rights under this License, You may not implicitly or explicitly assert or imply any connection with, sponsorship or endorsement by the Original Author, Licensor, and/or Attribution Parties, as appropriate, of You or Your use of the Work, without the separate, express prior written permission of the Original Author, Licensor, and/or Attribution Parties.
Mechanical Rights and Statutory Royalties. Licensor reserves the exclusive right to collect, whether individually or via a music rights agency or designated agent (e.g. Harry Fox Agency), royalties for any phonorecord You create from the Work ("cover version") and distribute, subject to the compulsory license created by 17 U.S.C. § 115 of the US Copyright Act (or the equivalent in other jurisdictions), if Your distribution of such cover version is primarily intended for or directed toward commercial advantage or private monetary compensation.
Webcasting Rights and Statutory Royalties. For the avoidance of doubt, where the Work is a sound recording, Licensor reserves the exclusive right to collect, whether individually or via a performance-rights society (e.g. SoundExchange), royalties for the public digital performance (e.g. webcast) of the Work, subject to the compulsory license created by 17 U.S.C. § 114 of the US Copyright Act (or the equivalent in other jurisdictions), if Your public digital performance is primarily intended for or directed toward commercial advantage or private monetary compensation.
You may not incorporate the Work into any Collective Work that is (or contains any material that is) harmful, offensive, obscene, abusive, invasive of privacy, defamatory, hateful or otherwise discriminatory, false and misleading, incites an illegal act, or is otherwise in breach of your obligations to any person or contrary to any applicable laws and regulations.
Subject to the entirety of these Terms, the license granted here is perpetual (for the duration of the applicable copyright in the Work). Notwithstanding the above, Licensors reserve the right to release any Work under different license terms or to stop distributing the Work at any time; provided, however that any such election will not serve to withdraw this License (or any other license that has been, or is required to be, granted under the terms of this License), and this License will continue in full force and effect unless terminated as set forth in Section 13.
Each time You distribute or publicly digitally perform the Work (as defined in Section 1 above) or a Collective Work (as defined in Section 1 above), the Licensor offers to the recipient a license to the Work on the same terms and conditions as the license granted to You under these Terms.
For purposes of this Section, the term "Content" means all material, data and information, such as data files, written text, computer software, music, audio files or other sounds, photographs, videos or other images which you may have access to as part of, or through your use of, the Site or Services.

copying, aggregation, display, distribution, performance, or derivative use of any content posted on, or obtained through, the Site or Services, whether done directly or through intermediaries, including, but not limited to, by means of spiders, robots, crawlers, scrapers, framing, iframes, or RSS feeds;
framing or otherwise co-branding the Site or Services (for example, by displaying a name, logo, trademark or other means of attribution of a third party that is reasonably likely to give the user the impression that that third party has the right to display, publish, or distribute the Site or Service);
any effort to decompile, disassemble, or reverse engineer all or any part of the Site or Services in order to identify, acquire, copy, or emulate any source code or object code.
12.5. As a limited exception from the Subsection 12.4, Federated servers, general purpose Internet search engines, and noncommercial public archives will be entitled to access the Site and Services without individual written agreements executed with the Maintainer if, in all cases and instances: (a) they provide either a direct hyperlink to the relevant Site, Service, or content; or a reference to the content's source on the federated social web; (b) they access the Site or Services from a stable IP address using an easily identifiable agent; and (c) they comply with the robots.txt file posted on the Site or associated with a Service. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Maintainer may terminate this limited exception as to any search engine or public archive, or any person or entity relying on this provision, at any time and in its sole discretion, upon written notice, including, without limitation, by email notice.
12.6. For purposes of these Terms, you agree that cached copies of the content of, and information from, Site and Services on your computer or computer server constitute "copies" under the Copyright Act, 17 U.S.C. § 101. For purposes of this Section, you further agree that CAPTCHAs are "technological measures" that effectively control access to the Works and rights of the Maintainer pursuant to 17 U.S.C. § 1201.
13.1. These Terms and any Additional Terms will continue to apply until terminated by either you or the Maintainer as set out below.
13.2. This agreement and the rights granted hereunder will terminate automatically upon any breach by you of the Terms or any Additional Terms, as defined in Section 1 above. Individuals or entities who have received Collective Works (as defined in Section 1) from You under the License granted by Section 5, however, will not have their licenses terminated, provided that such individuals or entities remain in full compliance with the license terms and Sections 6 through 9 of this agreement.
13.3. The Maintainer may, at any time: (a) modify, suspend or terminate the operation of or access to the Site, any Service, or any portion thereof, for any reason; (b) modify or change the Site or Services, or any portion thereof, and any Terms, Additional Terms, and other policies governing the use of the Site or Services, for any reason; (c) interrupt the operation of the Site or Services, or any portion of the Site or Services, for any reason, all as the Maintainer deems appropriate in its sole discretion.
13.4. Your access to, and use of, the Site or Services may be terminated by you or by the Maintainer at any time and for any reason whatsoever, without notice.
13.5. Upon termination of these Terms by you, or as a result of your breach of the Terms or any Additional Terms, you agree to immediately cease distribution of any Collective Works, and destroy any copies of the Works and other content or information obtained from, or through the Site or Services, including, without limitation, downloaded copies, caches, archives, mirrors, backups, and printed materials. Unauthorized use of such materials may violate copyright laws, trademark laws, laws of privacy and publicity, and communications regulations and statutes.
13.6. The Maintainer reserves the right to delete and purge any and all information associated with a User following termination of these Terms by any party, termination of the Site or any Service, or a prolonged period of inactivity by the User as may be determined by the Maintainer in its sole discretion. Unless required by law, the Maintainer does not have an obligation to delete or purge any information associated with a User following any termination of the Terms or period of inactivity.
13.7. Sections 1 through 4 and Sections 6 through 18 of this agreement shall survive any termination of the Terms.
These Terms shall be binding upon, and inure to the benefit of you, the Maintainer, its successors, assigns, heirs, executors, and administrators. The Maintainer may assign its duties or rights hereunder without notice and without your consent. You may not assign your duties or rights hereunder without prior written consent of the Maintainer. Your duties and rights under these Terms and any Additional Terms shall not pass to your successors, assigns, heirs, executors, or administrators, except that any licenses you may have granted according to Section 11 shall remain in full force and effect for the duration of the applicable copyright.
These Terms and any Additional Terms are governed by and construed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, in the United States, exclusive of its choice of law rules. The parties agree that any disputes or proceedings between the Maintainer and you concerning these Terms, any Additional Terms, and/or the Site or Services shall be brought in a federal or state court of competent jurisdiction sitting in the Middlesex County of Massachusetts, and hereby consent to the personal jurisdiction and venue of such court.
Either party's failure to insist on, or enforce strict performance of, any of the Terms shall not be construed as a waiver of any provision or right. If any term or part of the Terms is held to be invalid or unenforceable by any law or regulation or final determination of a competent court or tribunal, that provision will be deemed severable and will not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions. A printed version of the Terms (along with Additional Terms, where applicable) and of any notice given in electronic form shall be admissible in judicial or administrative proceedings based on or relating to the Terms to the same extent and subject to the same conditions as other business documents and records originally generating and maintained in printed form. The headings in the Terms are provided for convenience only and shall not be used to construe meaning or intent.
The parties agree that regardless of any statute or law to the contrary, any claim or cause of action arising out of or related to the use of Website or Services must be filed within three (3) years after the claim or cause of action arose or be forever barred.
The Maintainer shall give you notices pertaining to this agreement by email sent to the most recent email address, if any, provided by you to the Maintainer. You hereby consent to receive email notices regarding the Terms and assume the full responsibility of keeping your email address on file with the Maintainer up-to-date. The email notice shall be deemed received at the time it is sent by the Maintainer, even if your email address is out-of-date or invalid. The Maintainer may, in its sole discretion, use U.S. mail or courier delivery to send notices to your mailing address. Such notices shall be deemed received at the time they are delivered or 4 business days after they are mailed, whichever is earlier.
