Creative Commons Corporation (“Creative Commons”) is not a law firm and
4+
does not provide legal services or legal advice. Distribution of Creative
5+
Commons public licenses does not create a lawyer-client or other
6+
relationship. Creative Commons makes its licenses and related information
7+
available on an “as-is” basis. Creative Commons gives no warranties
8+
regarding its licenses, any material licensed under their terms and

conditions, or any related information. Creative Commons disclaims all

possible.

### Using Creative Commons Public Licenses
14+
15+
Creative Commons public licenses provide a standard set of terms and
16+
conditions that creators and other rights holders may use to share
17+
original works of authorship and other material subject to copyright and
18+
certain other rights specified in the public license below. The following
19+
considerations are for informational purposes only, are not exhaustive,
20+
and do not form part of our licenses.
21+
22+
* __Considerations for licensors:__ Our public licenses are intended for
23+
use by those authorized to give the public permission to use material in
24+
ways otherwise restricted by copyright and certain other rights. Our
25+
licenses are irrevocable. Licensors should read and understand the terms
26+
and conditions of the license they choose before applying it. Licensors
27+
should also secure all rights necessary before applying our licenses so
28+
that the public can reuse the material as expected. Licensors should
29+
clearly mark any material not subject to the license. This includes other
30+
CC-licensed material, or material used under an exception or limitation
31+
to copyright.
32+
[More considerations for licensors](http://wiki.creativecommons.org/Considerations_for_licensors_and_licensees#Considerations_for_licensors).
33+
34+
* __Considerations for the public:__ By using one of our public licenses,
35+
a licensor grants the public permission to use the licensed material
36+
under specified terms and conditions. If the licensor’s permission is not
37+
necessary for any reason–for example, because of any applicable exception
38+
or limitation to copyright–then that use is not regulated by the license.
39+
Our licenses grant only permissions under copyright and certain other
40+
rights that a licensor has authority to grant. Use of the licensed
41+
material may still be restricted for other reasons, including because
42+
others have copyright or other rights in the material. A licensor may
43+
make special requests, such as asking that all changes be marked or
44+
described. Although not required by our licenses, you are encouraged to
45+
respect those requests where reasonable.

137+
Licensed Material to:
138+
139+
A. reproduce and Share the Licensed Material, in whole or in part;

B. produce, reproduce, and Share Adapted Material.
144+
145+
2. __Exceptions and Limitations.__ For the avoidance of doubt, where
146+
Exceptions and Limitations apply to Your use, this Public License does
147+
not apply, and You do not need to comply with its terms and conditions.
148+
149+
3. __Term.__ The term of this Public License is specified in
150+

154+

155+
modifications necessary to do so. The Licensor waives and/or agrees not
156+
to assert any right or authority to forbid You from making technical
157+
modifications necessary to exercise the Licensed Rights, including
158+
technical modifications necessary to circumvent Effective Technological
159+
Measures. For purposes of this Public License, simply making
160+
modifications authorized by this Section 2(a)(4) never produces Adapted
161+
Material.
162+
163+
5. __Downstream recipients.__
164+
165+

168+
conditions of this Public License.
169+
170+
B. __Additional offer from the Licensor – Adapted Material.__

172+
an offer from the Licensor to exercise the Licensed Rights in the
173+
Adapted Material under the conditions of the Adapter’s License You
174+
apply.
175+
176+
C. __No downstream restrictions.__ You may not offer or impose any
177+
additional or different terms or conditions on, or apply any
178+
Effective Technological Measures to, the Licensed Material if doing
179+
so restricts exercise of the Licensed Rights by any recipient of the
180+
Licensed Material.
181+
182+
6. __No endorsement.__ Nothing in this Public License constitutes or may
183+
be construed as permission to assert or imply that You are, or that You
184+
use of the Licensed Material is, connected with, or sponsored, endorsed,
185+
or granted official status by, the Licensor or others designated to
186+

187+
188+
b. ___Other rights.___
189+
190+
1. Moral rights, such as the right of integrity, are not licensed under
191+
this Public License, nor are publicity, privacy, and/or other similar
192+
personality rights; however, to the extent possible, the Licensor waives
193+
and/or agrees not to assert any such rights held by the Licensor to the
194+
limited extent necessary to allow You to exercise the Licensed Rights,
195+
but not otherwise.
196+
197+

198+
Public License.

statutory or compulsory licensing scheme. In all other cases the Licensor
204+
expressly reserves any right to collect such royalties.

255+
Compatible License.
256+
257+
2. You must include the text of, or the URI or hyperlink to, the
258+
Adapter's License You apply. You may satisfy this condition in any
259+
reasonable manner based on the medium, means, and context in which You
260+
Share Adapted Material.
261+
262+
3. You may not offer or impose any additional or different terms or

266+
267+

273+

274+
contents of the database;
275+
276+
b. if You include all or a substantial portion of the database contents
277+
in a database in which You have Sui Generis Database Rights, then the
278+
database in which You have Sui Generis Database Rights (but not its
279+
individual contents) is Adapted Material, including for purposes of
280+
Section 3(b); and
281+
282+

283+
or a substantial portion of the contents of the database.

293+
as-available, and makes no representations or warranties of any kind

concerning the Licensed Material, whether express, implied, statutory, or
295+
other. This includes, without limitation, warranties of title,

merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement,
297+
absence of latent or other defects, accuracy, or the presence or absence

300+
apply to You.__

303+
You on any legal theory (including, without limitation, negligence) or

otherwise for any direct, special, indirect, incidental, consequential,
305+
punitive, exemplary, or other losses, costs, expenses, or damages arising
306+
out of this Public License or use of the Licensed Material, even if the
307+
Licensor has been advised of the possibility of such losses, costs,
308+
expenses, or damages. Where a limitation of liability is not allowed in
309+
full or in part, this limitation may not apply to You.__
310+
311+
c. The disclaimer of warranties and limitation of liability provided
312+
above shall be interpreted in a manner that, to the extent possible, most
313+
closely approximates an absolute disclaimer and waiver of all liability.

315+
### Section 6 – Term and Termination.
316+
317+
a. This Public License applies for the term of the Copyright and Similar
318+

327+
328+
2. upon express reinstatement by the Licensor.
329+

331+
right the Licensor may have to seek remedies for Your violations of
332+
this Public License.
333+
334+
c. For the avoidance of doubt, the Licensor may also offer the Licensed
335+

Licensed Material at any time; however, doing so will not terminate this
337+
Public License.

340+
341+

344+
or conditions communicated by You unless expressly agreed.

350+
351+
### Section 8 – Interpretation.
352+
353+
a. For the avoidance of doubt, this Public License does not, and shall
354+
not be interpreted to, reduce, limit, restrict, or impose conditions on
355+
any use of the Licensed Material that could lawfully be made without
356+
permission under this Public License.
357+
358+
b. To the extent possible, if any provision of this Public License is
359+
deemed unenforceable, it shall be automatically reformed to the minimum
360+
extent necessary to make it enforceable. If the provision cannot be
361+
reformed, it shall be severed from this Public License without affecting
362+
the enforceability of the remaining terms and conditions.
363+
364+
c. No term or condition of this Public License will be waived and no
365+
failure to comply consented to unless expressly agreed to by the
366+
Licensor.
367+
368+
d. Nothing in this Public License constitutes or may be interpreted as a
369+
limitation upon, or waiver of, any privileges and immunities that apply
370+
to the Licensor or You, including from the legal processes of any
371+
jurisdiction or authority.
