makes its licenses and related information available on an “as-is” basis.

### Using Creative Commons Public Licenses

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.

- **Considerations for licensors:** 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.

- **Considerations for the public:** 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.

## Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Public License

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.

### Section 1 – Definitions.

a. **Adapted Material** 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 Licensor. For purposes of this Public License, where the Licensed
Material is a musical work, performance, or sound recording, Adapted Material is
always produced where the Licensed Material is synched in timed relation with a
moving image.

b. **Adapter's License** 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.

c. **Copyright and Similar Rights** means copyright 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.

d. **Effective Technological Measures** 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.

e. **Exceptions and Limitations** 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.

f. **Licensed Material** means the artistic or literary work, database, or other
material to which the Licensor applied this Public License.

g. **Licensed Rights** 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 license.

h. **Licensor** means the individual(s) or entity(ies) granting rights under
this Public License.

i. **Share** 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.

j. **Sui Generis Database Rights** 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.

k. **You** means the individual or entity exercising the Licensed Rights under
this Public License. Your has a corresponding meaning.

### Section 2 – Scope.

a. **_License grant._**

1.  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:

    A. reproduce and Share the Licensed Material, in whole or in part; and

    B. produce, reproduce, and Share Adapted Material.

2.  **Exceptions and Limitations.** 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.

3.  **Term.** The term of this Public License is specified in Section 6(a).

4.  **Media and formats; technical modifications allowed.** 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.

5.  **Downstream recipients.**

    A. **Offer from the Licensor – Licensed Material.** 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.

    B. **No downstream restrictions.** 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.

6.  **No endorsement.** 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).

b. **_Other rights._**

1.  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.

2.  Patent and trademark rights are not licensed under this Public License.

3.  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.

### Section 3 – License Conditions.

Your exercise of the Licensed Rights is expressly made subject to the following
conditions.

a. **_Attribution._**

1.  If You Share the Licensed Material (including in modified form), You must:

    A. retain the following if it is supplied by the Licensor with the Licensed
    Material:

    i. 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);

    ii. a copyright notice;

    iii. a notice that refers to this Public License;

    iv. a notice that refers to the disclaimer of warranties;

    v. a URI or hyperlink to the Licensed Material to the extent reasonably
    practicable;

    B. indicate if You modified the Licensed Material and retain an indication
    of any previous modifications; and

    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.

2.  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.

3.  If requested by the Licensor, You must remove any of the information
    required by Section 3(a)(1)(A) to the extent reasonably practicable.

4.  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.

### Section 4 – Sui Generis Database Rights.

Where the Licensed Rights include Sui Generis Database Rights that apply to Your
use of the Licensed Material:

a. 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;

b. 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

c. You must comply with the conditions in Section 3(a) if You Share all or a
substantial portion of the contents of the database.

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.

### Section 5 – Disclaimer of Warranties and Limitation of Liability.

a. **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.**

b. **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.**

c. 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.

### Section 6 – Term and Termination.

a. 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.

b. Where Your right to use the Licensed Material has terminated under Section
6(a), it reinstates:

1.  automatically as of the date the violation is cured, provided it is cured
    within 30 days of Your discovery of the violation; or

2.  upon express reinstatement by the Licensor.

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.

c. 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.

d. Sections 1, 5, 6, 7, and 8 survive termination of this Public License.

### Section 7 – Other Terms and Conditions.

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

b. 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.

### Section 8 – Interpretation.

a. 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.

b. 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.

c. 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.

d. 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.
