<p>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

<p><strong>Using Creative Commons Public Licenses</strong></p>
<p>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.</p>
<ul>
<li><p><strong>Considerations for licensors:</strong> 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. <a

considerations for licensors</a>.</p></li>
<li><p><strong>Considerations for the public:</strong> 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. <a

<p>By exercising the Licensed Rights (defined below), You accept and
agree to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Creative Commons
Attribution 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.</p>

<ol type="a">
<li><p><strong>Adapted Material</strong> 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

timed relation with a moving image.</p></li>
<li><p><strong>Adapter’s License</strong> means the license You apply to
Your Copyright and Similar Rights in Your contributions to Adapted
Material in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Public
License.</p></li>

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.</p></li>
<li><p><strong>Effective Technological Measures</strong> 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.</p></li>
<li><p><strong>Exceptions and Limitations</strong> 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.</p></li>
<li><p><strong>Licensed Material</strong> means the artistic or literary
work, database, or other material to which the Licensor applied this
Public License.</p></li>
<li><p><strong>Licensed Rights</strong> 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

granting rights under this Public License.</p></li>
<li><p><strong>Share</strong> 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.</p></li>
<li><p><strong>Sui Generis Database Rights</strong> 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.</p></li>
<li><p><strong>You</strong> means the individual or entity exercising
the Licensed Rights under this Public License. <strong>Your</strong> has

<h3 id="section-2-scope.">Section 2 – Scope.</h3>
<ol type="a">
<li><p><strong><em>License grant.</em></strong></p>
<ol type="1">
<li><p>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:</p>
<p>A. reproduce and Share the Licensed Material, in whole or in part;
and</p>
<p>B. produce, reproduce, and Share Adapted Material.</p></li>
<li><p><strong>Exceptions and Limitations.</strong> 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.</p></li>
<li><p><strong>Term.</strong> The term of this Public License is
specified in Section 6(a).</p></li>
<li><p><strong>Media and formats; technical modifications
allowed.</strong> 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.</p></li>
<li><p><strong>Downstream recipients.</strong></p>
<p>A. <strong>Offer from the Licensor – Licensed Material.</strong>
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.</p>
<p>B. <strong>No downstream restrictions.</strong> 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.</p></li>
<li><p><strong>No endorsement.</strong> 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).</p></li>
</ol></li>
<li><p><strong><em>Other rights.</em></strong></p>
<ol type="1">
<li><p>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.</p></li>
<li><p>Patent and trademark rights are not licensed under this Public
License.</p></li>
<li><p>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.</p></li>
</ol></li>
</ol>
<h3 id="section-3-license-conditions.">Section 3 – License
Conditions.</h3>
<p>Your exercise of the Licensed Rights is expressly made subject to the
following conditions.</p>
<ol type="a">
<li><p><strong><em>Attribution.</em></strong></p>
<ol type="1">
<li><p>If You Share the Licensed Material (including in modified form),
You must:</p>
<p>A. retain the following if it is supplied by the Licensor with the
Licensed Material:</p>
<ol type="i">
<li><p>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);</p></li>
<li><p>a copyright notice;</p></li>
<li><p>a notice that refers to this Public License;</p></li>

indication of any previous modifications; and</p>
<p>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.</p></li>
<li><p>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.</p></li>
<li><p>If requested by the Licensor, You must remove any of the
information required by Section 3(a)(1)(A) to the extent reasonably
practicable.</p></li>
<li><p>If You Share Adapted Material You produce, the Adapter’s License
You apply must not prevent recipients of the Adapted Material from
complying with this Public License.</p></li>
</ol></li>
</ol>
<h3 id="section-4-sui-generis-database-rights.">Section 4 – Sui Generis
Database Rights.</h3>
<p>Where the Licensed Rights include Sui Generis Database Rights that
apply to Your use of the Licensed Material:</p>
<ol type="a">
<li><p>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;</p></li>
<li><p>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</p></li>
<li><p>You must comply with the conditions in Section 3(a) if You Share
all or a substantial portion of the contents of the database.</p></li>
</ol>
<p>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.</p>
<h3
id="section-5-disclaimer-of-warranties-and-limitation-of-liability.">Section
5 – Disclaimer of Warranties and Limitation of Liability.</h3>
<ol type="a">
<li><p><strong>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.</strong></p></li>
<li><p><strong>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.</strong></p></li>
<li><p>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.</p></li>
</ol>
<h3 id="section-6-term-and-termination.">Section 6 – Term and
Termination.</h3>
<ol type="a">
<li><p>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.</p></li>
<li><p>Where Your right to use the Licensed Material has terminated
under Section 6(a), it reinstates:</p>
<ol type="1">
<li><p>automatically as of the date the violation is cured, provided it
is cured within 30 days of Your discovery of the violation; or</p></li>
<li><p>upon express reinstatement by the Licensor.</p></li>
</ol>
<p>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.</p></li>
<li><p>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.</p></li>
<li><p>Sections 1, 5, 6, 7, and 8 survive termination of this Public
License.</p></li>
</ol>
<h3 id="section-7-other-terms-and-conditions.">Section 7 – Other Terms
and Conditions.</h3>
<ol type="a">
<li><p>The Licensor shall not be bound by any additional or different
terms or conditions communicated by You unless expressly
agreed.</p></li>
<li><p>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.</p></li>
</ol>
<h3 id="section-8-interpretation.">Section 8 – Interpretation.</h3>
<ol type="a">
<li><p>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.</p></li>
<li><p>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.</p></li>
<li><p>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.</p></li>
<li><p>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.</p></li>
