Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 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-NoDerivatives 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. 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.
c. 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.
d. 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.
e. Licensed Material means the artistic or literary work, database, or
   other material to which the Licensor applied this Public License.
f. 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.
g. Licensor means the individual(s) or entity(ies) granting rights under
   this Public License.
h. 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.
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,
           for NonCommercial purposes only; and
        B. produce and reproduce, but not Share, Adapted Material for
           NonCommercial purposes only.
    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, including when the Licensed Material is used other than
       for NonCommercial purposes.

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, 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.

        For the avoidance of doubt, You do not have permission under this
        Public License to Share Adapted Material.

    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.

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 for NonCommercial purposes only and
   provided You do not Share Adapted Material;
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.
