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

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. More
    considerations for licensors:

    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. More considerations for the public:

Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial 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-NonCommercial 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.

    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.
    
    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.
    
    BY-NC Compatible License means a license listed at
    https://creativecommons.org/compatiblelicenses, approved by
    Creative Commons as essentially the equivalent of this Public
    License.
    
    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.
    
    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.
    
    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.
    
    Licensed Material means the artistic or literary work, database,
    or other material to which the Licensor applied this Public
    License.
    
    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.
    For purposes of this Public License, simply using the Licensed
    Material does not automatically result in You acquiring any rights
    under the License. All rights not expressly granted by the Licensor
    are reserved. See Section 1(c).
    
    NonCommercial means not primarily intended for or directed towards
    commercial advantage or monetary compensation. For purposes of
    this Public License, the exchange of the Licensed Material for
    other material subject to Copyright and Similar Rights by digital
    file-sharing or similar means is NonCommercial provided there is
    no payment of monetary compensation in connection with the
    exchange.
    
    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.
    
    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.
    
    You means the individual or entity exercising the Licensed Rights
    under this Public License. Your has a corresponding meaning.

Section 2 – Scope.

    License grant.
    
        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:
        
            reproduce and Share the Licensed Material, in whole or in
            part, for NonCommercial purposes only; and
            produce, reproduce, and Share Adapted Material for
            NonCommercial purposes only.

    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.

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

    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.
    
    Downstream recipients.
    
        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.
        
        Additional offer from the Licensor – Adapted Material. Every
        recipient of Adapted Material from You automatically receives
        an offer from the Licensor to exercise the Licensed Rights in
        the Adapted Material under the conditions of the Adapter's
        License You apply.

    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.

    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).

Section 3 – License Conditions.

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

    Attribution.
    
        If You Share the Licensed Material (including in modified
        form), You must:
        
            retain the following if it is supplied by the Licensor
            with the Licensed Material:
            
                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);
                a copyright notice;
                a notice that refers to this Public License;
                a notice that refers to the disclaimer of warranties;
                a URI or hyperlink to the Licensed Material to the
                extent reasonably practicable;
            
            indicate if You modified the Licensed Material and retain
            an indication of any previous modifications; and
            indicate the Licensed Material is licensed under this
            Public License, and include the text of, or the URI or
            hyperlink to, this Public License.

    NonCommercial Restrictions.
    
        The licensor permits others to copy, distribute and transmit
        the work. In return, licensees may not use the work for
        commercial purposes — unless they get the licensor's
        permission.

Section 4 – Sui Generis Database Rights.

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

    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;
    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,
    including for purposes of Section 3(b); and
    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.

    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.
    
    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.

    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.

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

        automatically as of the date the violation is cured, provided
        it is cured within 30 days of Your discovery of the
        violation; or
        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.
    
    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.
    
    Sections 1, 5, 6, 7, and 8 survive termination of this Public
    License.

Section 7 – Other Terms and Conditions.

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

    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.
    
    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.
    
    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.
    
    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.
