| 6 | LEGAL SERVICES. DISTRIBUTION OF THIS DOCUMENT DOES NOT CREATE AN | ||
| 7 | ATTORNEY-CLIENT RELATIONSHIP. CREATIVE COMMONS PROVIDES THIS | ||
| 8 | INFORMATION ON AN "AS-IS" BASIS. CREATIVE COMMONS MAKES NO WARRANTIES | ||
| 9 | REGARDING THE USE OF THIS DOCUMENT OR THE INFORMATION OR WORKS | ||

| 14 | Statement of Purpose | ||
| 15 | |||
| 16 | The laws of most jurisdictions throughout the world automatically confer | ||
| 17 | exclusive Copyright and Related Rights (defined below) upon the creator | ||
| 18 | and subsequent owner(s) (each and all, an "owner") of an original work of | ||
| 19 | authorship and/or a database (each, a "Work"). | ||
| 20 | |||
| 21 | Certain owners wish to permanently relinquish those rights to a Work for | ||
| 22 | the purpose of contributing to a commons of creative, cultural and | ||
| 23 | scientific works ("Commons") that the public can reliably and without fear | ||
| 24 | of later claims of infringement build upon, modify, incorporate in other | ||
| 25 | works, reuse and redistribute as freely as possible in any form whatsoever | ||
| 26 | and for any purposes, including without limitation commercial purposes. | ||
| 27 | These owners may contribute to the Commons to promote the ideal of a free | ||
| 28 | culture and the further production of creative, cultural and scientific | ||
| 29 | works, or to gain reputation or greater distribution for their Work in | ||
| 30 | part through the use and efforts of others. | ||
| 31 | |||
| 32 | For these and/or other purposes and motivations, and without any | ||
| 33 | expectation of additional consideration or compensation, the person | ||
| 34 | associating CC0 with a Work (the "Affirmer"), to the extent that he or she | ||
| 35 | is an owner of Copyright and Related Rights in the Work, voluntarily | ||
| 36 | elects to apply CC0 to the Work and publicly distribute the Work under its | ||
| 37 | terms, with knowledge of his or her Copyright and Related Rights in the | ||
| 38 | Work and the meaning and intended legal effect of CC0 on those rights. | ||
| 39 | |||
| 40 | 1. Copyright and Related Rights. A Work made available under CC0 may be | ||
| 41 | protected by copyright and related or neighboring rights ("Copyright and | ||
| 42 | Related Rights"). Copyright and Related Rights include, but are not | ||
| 43 | limited to, the following: | ||
| 44 | |||
| 45 | i. the right to reproduce, adapt, distribute, perform, display, | ||
| 46 | communicate, and translate a Work; | ||
| 47 | ii. moral rights retained by the original author(s) and/or performer(s); | ||
| 48 | iii. publicity and privacy rights pertaining to a person's image or | ||
| 49 | likeness depicted in a Work; | ||
| 50 | iv. rights protecting against unfair competition in regards to a Work, | ||
| 51 | subject to the limitations in paragraph 4(a), below; | ||
| 52 | v. rights protecting the extraction, dissemination, use and reuse of data | ||
| 53 | in a Work; | ||
| 54 | vi. database rights (such as those arising under Directive 96/9/EC of the | ||
| 55 | European Parliament and of the Council of 11 March 1996 on the legal | ||
| 56 | protection of databases, and under any national implementation | ||
| 57 | thereof, including any amended or successor version of such | ||
| 58 | directive); and | ||
| 59 | vii. other similar, equivalent or corresponding rights throughout the | ||
| 60 | world based on applicable law or treaty, and any national | ||
| 61 | implementations thereof. | ||
| 62 | |||
| 63 | 2. Waiver. To the greatest extent permitted by, but not in contravention | ||
| 64 | of, applicable law, Affirmer hereby overtly, fully, permanently, | ||
| 65 | irrevocably and unconditionally waives, abandons, and surrenders all of | ||
| 66 | Affirmer's Copyright and Related Rights and associated claims and causes | ||
| 67 | of action, whether now known or unknown (including existing as well as | ||
| 68 | future claims and causes of action), in the Work (i) in all territories | ||
| 69 | worldwide, (ii) for the maximum duration provided by applicable law or | ||
| 70 | treaty (including future time extensions), (iii) in any current or future | ||
| 71 | medium and for any number of copies, and (iv) for any purpose whatsoever, | ||
| 72 | including without limitation commercial, advertising or promotional | ||
| 73 | purposes (the "Waiver"). Affirmer makes the Waiver for the benefit of each | ||
| 74 | member of the public at large and to the detriment of Affirmer's heirs and | ||
| 75 | successors, fully intending that such Waiver shall not be subject to | ||
| 76 | revocation, rescission, cancellation, termination, or any other legal or | ||
| 77 | equitable action to disrupt the quiet enjoyment of the Work by the public | ||
| 78 | as contemplated by Affirmer's express Statement of Purpose. | ||
| 79 | |||
| 80 | 3. Public License Fallback. Should any part of the Waiver for any reason | ||
| 81 | be judged legally invalid or ineffective under applicable law, then the | ||
| 82 | Waiver shall be preserved to the maximum extent permitted taking into | ||
| 83 | account Affirmer's express Statement of Purpose. In addition, to the | ||
| 84 | extent the Waiver is so judged Affirmer hereby grants to each affected | ||
| 85 | person a royalty-free, non transferable, non sublicensable, non exclusive, | ||
| 86 | irrevocable and unconditional license to exercise Affirmer's Copyright and | ||
| 87 | Related Rights in the Work (i) in all territories worldwide, (ii) for the | ||
| 88 | maximum duration provided by applicable law or treaty (including future | ||
| 89 | time extensions), (iii) in any current or future medium and for any number | ||
| 90 | of copies, and (iv) for any purpose whatsoever, including without | ||
| 91 | limitation commercial, advertising or promotional purposes (the | ||
| 92 | "License"). The License shall be deemed effective as of the date CC0 was | ||
| 93 | applied by Affirmer to the Work. Should any part of the License for any | ||
| 94 | reason be judged legally invalid or ineffective under applicable law, such | ||
| 95 | partial invalidity or ineffectiveness shall not invalidate the remainder | ||
| 96 | of the License, and in such case Affirmer hereby affirms that he or she | ||
| 97 | will not (i) exercise any of his or her remaining Copyright and Related | ||
| 98 | Rights in the Work or (ii) assert any associated claims and causes of | ||
| 99 | action with respect to the Work, in either case contrary to Affirmer's | ||
| 100 | express Statement of Purpose. | ||
| 101 | |||
| 102 | 4. Limitations and Disclaimers. | ||
| 103 | |||
| 104 | a. No trademark or patent rights held by Affirmer are waived, abandoned, | ||
| 105 | surrendered, licensed or otherwise affected by this document. | ||
| 106 | b. Affirmer offers the Work as-is and makes no representations or | ||
| 107 | warranties of any kind concerning the Work, express, implied, | ||
| 108 | statutory or otherwise, including without limitation warranties of | ||
| 109 | title, merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non | ||
| 110 | infringement, or the absence of latent or other defects, accuracy, or | ||
| 111 | the present or absence of errors, whether or not discoverable, all to | ||
| 112 | the greatest extent permissible under applicable law. | ||
| 113 | c. Affirmer disclaims responsibility for clearing rights of other persons | ||
| 114 | that may apply to the Work or any use thereof, including without | ||
| 115 | limitation any person's Copyright and Related Rights in the Work. | ||
| 116 | Further, Affirmer disclaims responsibility for obtaining any necessary | ||
| 117 | consents, permissions or other rights required for any use of the | ||
| 118 | Work. | ||
| 119 | d. Affirmer understands and acknowledges that Creative Commons is not a | ||
| 120 | party to this document and has no duty or obligation with respect to | ||
| 121 | this CC0 or use of the Work. | ||
