33     Rights.

82
83Section 2 -- Scope.
84
85  a. License grant.
86
87       1. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Public License,
88          the Licensor hereby grants You a worldwide, royalty-free,
89          non-sublicensable, non-exclusive, irrevocable license to
90          exercise the Licensed Rights in the Licensed Material to:
91
92            a. reproduce and Share the Licensed Material, in whole or
93               in part, for NonCommercial purposes only; and
94
95            b. produce and reproduce, but not Share, Adapted Material
96               for NonCommercial purposes only.
97
98       2. Exceptions and Limitations. For the avoidance of doubt, where
99          Exceptions and Limitations apply to Your use, this Public
100          License does not apply, and You do not need to comply with
101          its terms and conditions.
102
103       3. Term. The term of this Public License is specified in Section
104          6(a).
105
106       4. Media and formats; technical modifications allowed. The
107          Licensor authorizes You to exercise the Licensed Rights in
108          all media and formats whether now known or hereafter created,
109          and to make technical modifications necessary to do so. The
110          Licensor waives and/or agrees not to assert any right or
111          authority to forbid You from making technical modifications
112          necessary to exercise the Licensed Rights, including
113          technical modifications necessary to circumvent Effective
114          Technological Measures. For purposes of this Public License,
115          simply making modifications authorized by this Section 2(a)
116          (4) never produces Adapted Material.
117
118       5. Downstream recipients.
119
120            a. Offer from the Licensor -- Licensed Material. Every
121               recipient of the Licensed Material automatically
122               receives an offer from the Licensor to exercise the
123               Licensed Rights under the terms and conditions of this
124               Public License.
125
126            b. No downstream restrictions. You may not offer or impose
127               any additional or different terms or conditions on, or
128               apply any Effective Technological Measures to, the
129               Licensed Material if doing so restricts exercise of the
130               Licensed Rights by any recipient of the Licensed
131               Material.
132
133       6. No endorsement. Nothing in this Public License constitutes or
134          may be construed as permission to assert or imply that You
135          are, or that Your use of the Licensed Material is, connected
136          with, or sponsored, endorsed, or granted official status by,
137          the Licensor or others designated to receive attribution as
138          provided in Section 3(a)(1)(A)(i).
139
140  b. Other rights.
141
142       1. Moral rights, such as the right of integrity, are not
143          licensed under this Public License, nor are publicity,
144          privacy, and/or other similar personality rights; however, to
145          the extent possible, the Licensor waives and/or agrees not to
146          assert any such rights held by the Licensor to the limited
147          extent necessary to allow You to exercise the Licensed
148          Rights, but not otherwise.
149
150       2. Patent and trademark rights are not licensed under this
151          Public License.
152
153       3. To the extent possible, the Licensor waives any right to
154          collect royalties from You for the exercise of the Licensed
155          Rights, whether directly or through a collecting society
156          under any voluntary or waivable statutory or compulsory
157          licensing scheme. In all other cases the Licensor expressly
158          reserves any right to collect such royalties, including when
159          the Licensed Material is used other than for NonCommercial
160          purposes.
161
162
163Section 3 -- License Conditions.
164
165Your exercise of the Licensed Rights is expressly made subject to the
166following conditions.
167
168  a. Attribution.
169
170       1. If You Share the Licensed Material, You must:
171
172            a. retain the following if it is supplied by the Licensor
173               with the Licensed Material:
174
175                 i. identification of the creator(s) of the Licensed
176                    Material and any others designated to receive
177                    attribution, in any reasonable manner requested by
178                    the Licensor (including by pseudonym if
179                    designated);
180
181                ii. a copyright notice;
182
183               iii. a notice that refers to this Public License;

185                iv. a notice that refers to the disclaimer of
186                    warranties;
187
188                 v. a URI or hyperlink to the Licensed Material to the
189                    extent reasonably practicable;
190
191            b. indicate if You modified the Licensed Material and
192               retain an indication of any previous modifications; and
193
194            c. indicate the Licensed Material is licensed under this
195               Public License, and include the text of, or the URI or
196               hyperlink to, this Public License.
197
198          For the avoidance of doubt, You do not have permission under
199          this Public License to Share Adapted Material.
200
201       2. You may satisfy the conditions in Section 3(a)(1) in any
202          reasonable manner based on the medium, means, and context in
203          which You Share the Licensed Material. For example, it may be
204          reasonable to satisfy the conditions by providing a URI or
205          hyperlink to a resource that includes the required
206          information.
207
208       3. If requested by the Licensor, You must remove any of the
209          information required by Section 3(a)(1)(A) to the extent
210          reasonably practicable.
211
212
213Section 4 -- Sui Generis Database Rights.
214
215Where the Licensed Rights include Sui Generis Database Rights that
216apply to Your use of the Licensed Material:
217
218  a. for the avoidance of doubt, Section 2(a)(1) grants You the right
219     to extract, reuse, reproduce, and Share all or a substantial
220     portion of the contents of the database for NonCommercial purposes
221     only and provided You do not Share Adapted Material;
222
223  b. if You include all or a substantial portion of the database
224     contents in a database in which You have Sui Generis Database
225     Rights, then the database in which You have Sui Generis Database
226     Rights (but not its individual contents) is Adapted Material; and
227
228  c. You must comply with the conditions in Section 3(a) if You Share
229     all or a substantial portion of the contents of the database.
230
231For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 4 supplements and does not
232replace Your obligations under this Public License where the Licensed
233Rights include other Copyright and Similar Rights.
234
235
236Section 5 -- Disclaimer of Warranties and Limitation of Liability.
237
238  a. UNLESS OTHERWISE SEPARATELY UNDERTAKEN BY THE LICENSOR, TO THE
239     EXTENT POSSIBLE, THE LICENSOR OFFERS THE LICENSED MATERIAL AS-IS
240     AND AS-AVAILABLE, AND MAKES NO REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES OF
241     ANY KIND CONCERNING THE LICENSED MATERIAL, WHETHER EXPRESS,
242     IMPLIED, STATUTORY, OR OTHER. THIS INCLUDES, WITHOUT LIMITATION,
243     WARRANTIES OF TITLE, MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR
244     PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, ABSENCE OF LATENT OR OTHER DEFECTS,
245     ACCURACY, OR THE PRESENCE OR ABSENCE OF ERRORS, WHETHER OR NOT
246     KNOWN OR DISCOVERABLE. WHERE DISCLAIMERS OF WARRANTIES ARE NOT
247     ALLOWED IN FULL OR IN PART, THIS DISCLAIMER MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.
248
249  b. TO THE EXTENT POSSIBLE, IN NO EVENT WILL THE LICENSOR BE LIABLE
250     TO YOU ON ANY LEGAL THEORY (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION,
251     NEGLIGENCE) OR OTHERWISE FOR ANY DIRECT, SPECIAL, INDIRECT,
252     INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE, EXEMPLARY, OR OTHER LOSSES,
253     COSTS, EXPENSES, OR DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THIS PUBLIC LICENSE OR
254     USE OF THE LICENSED MATERIAL, EVEN IF THE LICENSOR HAS BEEN
255     ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH LOSSES, COSTS, EXPENSES, OR
256     DAMAGES. WHERE A LIMITATION OF LIABILITY IS NOT ALLOWED IN FULL OR
257     IN PART, THIS LIMITATION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.
258
259  c. The disclaimer of warranties and limitation of liability provided
260     above shall be interpreted in a manner that, to the extent
261     possible, most closely approximates an absolute disclaimer and
262     waiver of all liability.
263
264
265Section 6 -- Term and Termination.
266
267  a. This Public License applies for the term of the Copyright and
268     Similar Rights licensed here. However, if You fail to comply with
269     this Public License, then Your rights under this Public License
270     terminate automatically.
271
272  b. Where Your right to use the Licensed Material has terminated under
273     Section 6(a), it reinstates:
274
275       1. automatically as of the date the violation is cured, provided
276          it is cured within 30 days of Your discovery of the
277          violation; or
278
279       2. upon express reinstatement by the Licensor.
280
281     For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 6(b) does not affect any
282     right the Licensor may have to seek remedies for Your violations
283     of this Public License.
284
285  c. For the avoidance of doubt, the Licensor may also offer the
286     Licensed Material under separate terms or conditions or stop
287     distributing the Licensed Material at any time; however, doing so
288     will not terminate this Public License.
289
290  d. Sections 1, 5, 6, 7, and 8 survive termination of this Public
291     License.
292
293

296  a. The Licensor shall not be bound by any additional or different
297     terms or conditions communicated by You unless expressly agreed.
298

300     Licensed Material not stated herein are separate from and
301     independent of the terms and conditions of this Public License.
302
303
304Section 8 -- Interpretation.
305
306  a. For the avoidance of doubt, this Public License does not, and
307     shall not be interpreted to, reduce, limit, restrict, or impose
308     conditions on any use of the Licensed Material that could lawfully
309     be made without permission under this Public License.
310
311  b. To the extent possible, if any provision of this Public License is
312     deemed unenforceable, it shall be automatically reformed to the
313     minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable. If the provision
314     cannot be reformed, it shall be severed from this Public License
315     without affecting the enforceability of the remaining terms and
316     conditions.
317
318  c. No term or condition of this Public License will be waived and no
319     failure to comply consented to unless expressly agreed to by the
320     Licensor.
321
322  d. Nothing in this Public License constitutes or may be interpreted
323     as a limitation upon, or waiver of, any privileges and immunities
324     that apply to the Licensor or You, including from the legal
325     processes of any jurisdiction or authority.
