5to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Creative Commons
6Attribution-NoDerivatives 4.0 International Public License ("Public
7License"). To the extent this Public License may be interpreted as a
8contract, You are granted the Licensed Rights in consideration of Your

22     Licensor. For purposes of this Public License, where the Licensed

25     synched in timed relation with a moving image.

28     closely related to copyright including, without limitation,
29     performance, broadcast, sound recording, and Sui Generis Database
30     Rights, without regard to how the rights are labeled or
31     categorized. For purposes of this Public License, the rights

33     Rights.

36     absence of proper authority, may not be circumvented under laws
37     fulfilling obligations under Article 11 of the WIPO Copyright

39     agreements.
40
41  d. Exceptions and Limitations means fair use, fair dealing, and/or
42     any other exception or limitation to Copyright and Similar Rights

53
54  g. Licensor means the individual(s) or entity(ies) granting rights
55     under this Public License.
56
57  h. Share means to provide material to the public by any means or
58     process that requires permission under the Licensed Rights, such
59     as reproduction, public display, public performance, distribution,
60     dissemination, communication, or importation, and to make material
61     available to the public including in ways that members of the
62     public may access the material from a place and at a time
63     individually chosen by them.
64
65  i. Sui Generis Database Rights means rights other than copyright
66     resulting from Directive 96/9/EC of the European Parliament and of

69     equivalent rights anywhere in the world.
70
71  j. You means the individual or entity exercising the Licensed Rights
72     under this Public License. Your has a corresponding meaning.
73
74
75Section 2 -- Scope.
76
77  a. License grant.
78
79       1. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Public License,
80          the Licensor hereby grants You a worldwide, royalty-free,
81          non-sublicensable, non-exclusive, irrevocable license to
82          exercise the Licensed Rights in the Licensed Material to:
83
84            a. reproduce and Share the Licensed Material, in whole or
85               in part; and
86
87            b. produce and reproduce, but not Share, Adapted Material.
88
89       2. Exceptions and Limitations. For the avoidance of doubt, where
90          Exceptions and Limitations apply to Your use, this Public
91          License does not apply, and You do not need to comply with
92          its terms and conditions.
93
94       3. Term. The term of this Public License is specified in Section
95          6(a).
96
97       4. Media and formats; technical modifications allowed. The
98          Licensor authorizes You to exercise the Licensed Rights in
99          all media and formats whether now known or hereafter created,
100          and to make technical modifications necessary to do so. The
101          Licensor waives and/or agrees not to assert any right or
102          authority to forbid You from making technical modifications
103          necessary to exercise the Licensed Rights, including
104          technical modifications necessary to circumvent Effective
105          Technological Measures. For purposes of this Public License,
106          simply making modifications authorized by this Section 2(a)
107          (4) never produces Adapted Material.
108
109       5. Downstream recipients.
110
111            a. Offer from the Licensor -- Licensed Material. Every
112               recipient of the Licensed Material automatically
113               receives an offer from the Licensor to exercise the
114               Licensed Rights under the terms and conditions of this
115               Public License.
116
117            b. No downstream restrictions. You may not offer or impose
118               any additional or different terms or conditions on, or
119               apply any Effective Technological Measures to, the
120               Licensed Material if doing so restricts exercise of the
121               Licensed Rights by any recipient of the Licensed
122               Material.
123
124       6. No endorsement. Nothing in this Public License constitutes or
125          may be construed as permission to assert or imply that You
126          are, or that Your use of the Licensed Material is, connected
127          with, or sponsored, endorsed, or granted official status by,
128          the Licensor or others designated to receive attribution as
129          provided in Section 3(a)(1)(A)(i).
130
131  b. Other rights.
132
133       1. Moral rights, such as the right of integrity, are not
134          licensed under this Public License, nor are publicity,
135          privacy, and/or other similar personality rights; however, to
136          the extent possible, the Licensor waives and/or agrees not to
137          assert any such rights held by the Licensor to the limited
138          extent necessary to allow You to exercise the Licensed
139          Rights, but not otherwise.
140
141       2. Patent and trademark rights are not licensed under this
142          Public License.
143
144       3. To the extent possible, the Licensor waives any right to
145          collect royalties from You for the exercise of the Licensed
146          Rights, whether directly or through a collecting society
147          under any voluntary or waivable statutory or compulsory
148          licensing scheme. In all other cases the Licensor expressly
149          reserves any right to collect such royalties.
150
151
152Section 3 -- License Conditions.
153
154Your exercise of the Licensed Rights is expressly made subject to the
155following conditions.
156
157  a. Attribution.
158
159       1. If You Share the Licensed Material, You must:
160
161            a. retain the following if it is supplied by the Licensor
162               with the Licensed Material:
163
164                 i. identification of the creator(s) of the Licensed
165                    Material and any others designated to receive
166                    attribution, in any reasonable manner requested by
167                    the Licensor (including by pseudonym if
168                    designated);
169
170                ii. a copyright notice;
171
172               iii. a notice that refers to this Public License;
173
174                iv. a notice that refers to the disclaimer of
175                    warranties;
176
177                 v. a URI or hyperlink to the Licensed Material to the
178                    extent reasonably practicable;
179
180            b. indicate if You modified the Licensed Material and
181               retain an indication of any previous modifications; and
182
183            c. indicate the Licensed Material is licensed under this
184               Public License, and include the text of, or the URI or
185               hyperlink to, this Public License.
186
187          For the avoidance of doubt, You do not have permission under
188          this Public License to Share Adapted Material.
189
190       2. You may satisfy the conditions in Section 3(a)(1) in any
191          reasonable manner based on the medium, means, and context in
192          which You Share the Licensed Material. For example, it may be
193          reasonable to satisfy the conditions by providing a URI or
194          hyperlink to a resource that includes the required
195          information.
196
197       3. If requested by the Licensor, You must remove any of the
198          information required by Section 3(a)(1)(A) to the extent
199          reasonably practicable.
200
201
202Section 4 -- Sui Generis Database Rights.
203
204Where the Licensed Rights include Sui Generis Database Rights that
205apply to Your use of the Licensed Material:
206
207  a. for the avoidance of doubt, Section 2(a)(1) grants You the right
208     to extract, reuse, reproduce, and Share all or a substantial
209     portion of the contents of the database, provided You do not Share
210     Adapted Material;
211  b. if You include all or a substantial portion of the database
212     contents in a database in which You have Sui Generis Database
213     Rights, then the database in which You have Sui Generis Database
214     Rights (but not its individual contents) is Adapted Material; and
215  c. You must comply with the conditions in Section 3(a) if You Share
216     all or a substantial portion of the contents of the database.
217
218For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 4 supplements and does not
219replace Your obligations under this Public License where the Licensed
220Rights include other Copyright and Similar Rights.
221
222
223Section 5 -- Disclaimer of Warranties and Limitation of Liability.
224
225  a. UNLESS OTHERWISE SEPARATELY UNDERTAKEN BY THE LICENSOR, TO THE
226     EXTENT POSSIBLE, THE LICENSOR OFFERS THE LICENSED MATERIAL AS-IS
227     AND AS-AVAILABLE, AND MAKES NO REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES OF
228     ANY KIND CONCERNING THE LICENSED MATERIAL, WHETHER EXPRESS,
229     IMPLIED, STATUTORY, OR OTHER. THIS INCLUDES, WITHOUT LIMITATION,
230     WARRANTIES OF TITLE, MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR
231     PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, ABSENCE OF LATENT OR OTHER DEFECTS,
232     ACCURACY, OR THE PRESENCE OR ABSENCE OF ERRORS, WHETHER OR NOT
233     KNOWN OR DISCOVERABLE. WHERE DISCLAIMERS OF WARRANTIES ARE NOT
234     ALLOWED IN FULL OR IN PART, THIS DISCLAIMER MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.
235
236  b. TO THE EXTENT POSSIBLE, IN NO EVENT WILL THE LICENSOR BE LIABLE
237     TO YOU ON ANY LEGAL THEORY (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION,
238     NEGLIGENCE) OR OTHERWISE FOR ANY DIRECT, SPECIAL, INDIRECT,
239     INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE, EXEMPLARY, OR OTHER LOSSES,
240     COSTS, EXPENSES, OR DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THIS PUBLIC LICENSE OR
241     USE OF THE LICENSED MATERIAL, EVEN IF THE LICENSOR HAS BEEN
242     ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH LOSSES, COSTS, EXPENSES, OR
243     DAMAGES. WHERE A LIMITATION OF LIABILITY IS NOT ALLOWED IN FULL OR
244     IN PART, THIS LIMITATION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.
245
246  c. The disclaimer of warranties and limitation of liability provided
247     above shall be interpreted in a manner that, to the extent
248     possible, most closely approximates an absolute disclaimer and
249     waiver of all liability.
250
251
252Section 6 -- Term and Termination.
253
254  a. This Public License applies for the term of the Copyright and
255     Similar Rights licensed here. However, if You fail to comply with
256     this Public License, then Your rights under this Public License
257     terminate automatically.
258
259  b. Where Your right to use the Licensed Material has terminated under
260     Section 6(a), it reinstates:
261
262       1. automatically as of the date the violation is cured, provided
263          it is cured within 30 days of Your discovery of the
264          violation; or
265
266       2. upon express reinstatement by the Licensor.
267
268     For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 6(b) does not affect any
269     right the Licensor may have to seek remedies for Your violations
270     of this Public License.
271
272  c. For the avoidance of doubt, the Licensor may also offer the
273     Licensed Material under separate terms or conditions or stop
274     distributing the Licensed Material at any time; however, doing so
275     will not terminate this Public License.
276
277  d. Sections 1, 5, 6, 7, and 8 survive termination of this Public
278     License.
279
280
281Section 7 -- Other Terms and Conditions.
282
283  a. The Licensor shall not be bound by any additional or different
284     terms or conditions communicated by You unless expressly agreed.
285
286  b. Any arrangements, understandings, or agreements regarding the
287     Licensed Material not stated herein are separate from and
288     independent of the terms and conditions of this Public License.
289
290
291Section 8 -- Interpretation.
292
293  a. For the avoidance of doubt, this Public License does not, and
294     shall not be interpreted to, reduce, limit, restrict, or impose
295     conditions on any use of the Licensed Material that could lawfully
296     be made without permission under this Public License.
297
298  b. To the extent possible, if any provision of this Public License is
299     deemed unenforceable, it shall be automatically reformed to the
300     minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable. If the provision
301     cannot be reformed, it shall be severed from this Public License
302     without affecting the enforceability of the remaining terms and
303     conditions.
304
305  c. No term or condition of this Public License will be waived and no
306     failure to comply consented to unless expressly agreed to by the
307     Licensor.
308
309  d. Nothing in this Public License constitutes or may be interpreted
310     as a limitation upon, or waiver of, any privileges and immunities
311     that apply to the Licensor or You, including from the legal
312     processes of any jurisdiction or authority.
