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-ShareAlike 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

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

   equivalent of this Public License.

D. 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.

E. 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.

F. 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.

G. License Elements means the license attributes listed in the name of a Creative Commons
   Public License. The License Elements of this Public License are Attribution, NonCommercial,
   and ShareAlike.

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

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

K. 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.

L. 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.

M. 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.

N. 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:
      - 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.

   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.

      - 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.

   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 (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.

   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.

B. ShareAlike.

   In addition to the conditions in Section 3(a), if You Share Adapted Material You produce,
   the following conditions also apply.

   1. The Adapter’s License You apply must be a Creative Commons license with the same License
      Elements, this version or later, or a BY-NC-SA Compatible License.

   2. You must include the text of, or the URI or hyperlink to, the Adapter's License You
      apply. You may satisfy this condition in any reasonable manner based on the medium, means,
      and context in which You Share Adapted Material.

   3. You may not offer or impose any additional or different terms or conditions on, or apply
      any Effective Technological Measures to, Adapted Material that restrict exercise of the
      rights granted under the Adapter's License You apply.

*** 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;

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