CREATIVE COMMONS CORPORATION IS NOT A LAW FIRM AND DOES NOT PROVIDE
16+
LEGAL SERVICES. DISTRIBUTION OF THIS DOCUMENT DOES NOT CREATE AN
17+
ATTORNEY-CLIENT RELATIONSHIP. CREATIVE COMMONS PROVIDES THIS
18+
INFORMATION ON AN "AS-IS" BASIS. CREATIVE COMMONS MAKES NO WARRANTIES
19+
REGARDING THE USE OF THIS DOCUMENT OR THE INFORMATION OR WORKS

PROVIDED HEREUNDER, AND DISCLAIMS LIABILITY FOR DAMAGES RESULTING FROM

THE USE OF THIS DOCUMENT OR THE INFORMATION OR WORKS PROVIDED
22+
HEREUNDER.
23+
24+
**Statement of Purpose**
25+
26+
The laws of most jurisdictions throughout the world automatically confer
27+
exclusive Copyright and Related Rights (defined below) upon the creator
28+
and subsequent owner(s) (each and all, an "owner") of an original work of
29+
authorship and/or a database (each, a "Work").
30+
31+
Certain owners wish to permanently relinquish those rights to a Work for
32+
the purpose of contributing to a commons of creative, cultural and
33+
scientific works ("Commons") that the public can reliably and without fear
34+
of later claims of infringement build upon, modify, incorporate in other
35+
works, reuse and redistribute as freely as possible in any form whatsoever
36+
and for any purposes, including without limitation commercial purposes.
37+
These owners may contribute to the Commons to promote the ideal of a free
38+
culture and the further production of creative, cultural and scientific
39+
works, or to gain reputation or greater distribution for their Work in
40+
part through the use and efforts of others.
41+
42+
For these and/or other purposes and motivations, and without any
43+
expectation of additional consideration or compensation, the person
44+
associating CC0 with a Work (the "Affirmer"), to the extent that he or she
45+
is an owner of Copyright and Related Rights in the Work, voluntarily
46+
elects to apply CC0 to the Work and publicly distribute the Work under its
47+
terms, with knowledge of his or her Copyright and Related Rights in the
48+
Work and the meaning and intended legal effect of CC0 on those rights.
49+
50+
1. **Copyright and Related Rights.** A Work made available under CC0 may be
51+
protected by copyright and related or neighboring rights ("Copyright and
52+
Related Rights"). Copyright and Related Rights include, but are not
53+
limited to, the following:
54+
55+
i. the right to reproduce, adapt, distribute, perform, display,
56+
communicate, and translate a Work;
57+
ii. moral rights retained by the original author(s) and/or performer(s);
58+
iii. publicity and privacy rights pertaining to a person's image or
59+
likeness depicted in a Work;
60+
iv. rights protecting against unfair competition in regards to a Work,
61+
subject to the limitations in paragraph 4(a), below;
62+
v. rights protecting the extraction, dissemination, use and reuse of data
63+
in a Work;
64+
vi. database rights (such as those arising under Directive 96/9/EC of the
65+
European Parliament and of the Council of 11 March 1996 on the legal
66+
protection of databases, and under any national implementation
67+
thereof, including any amended or successor version of such
68+
directive); and
69+
vii. other similar, equivalent, corresponding or conflicting rights
70+
throughout the world based on applicable law or treaty, and any
71+
national implementations thereof.
72+
73+
2. **Waiver.** To the greatest extent permitted by, but not in contravention
74+
of, applicable law, Affirmer hereby overtly, fully, permanently,
75+
irrevocably and unconditionally waives, abandons, and surrenders all of
76+
Affirmer's Copyright and Related Rights and associated claims and causes
77+
of action, whether now known or unknown (including existing as well as
78+
future claims and causes of action), in the Work (i) in all territories
79+
worldwide, (ii) for the maximum duration provided by applicable law or
80+
treaty (including future time extensions), (iii) in any current or future
81+
medium and for any number of copies, and (iv) for any purpose whatsoever,
82+
including without limitation commercial, advertising or promotional
83+
purposes (the "Waiver"). Affirmer makes the Waiver for the benefit of each
84+
member of the public at large and to the detriment of Affirmer's heirs and
85+
successors, fully intending that such Waiver shall not be subject to
86+
revocation, rescission, cancellation, termination, or any other legal or
87+
equitable action to disrupt the quiet enjoyment of the Work by the public
88+
as contemplated by Affirmer's express Statement of Purpose.
89+
90+
3. **Public License Fallback.** Should any part of the Waiver for any reason
91+
be judged legally invalid or ineffective under applicable law, then the
92+
Waiver shall be preserved to the maximum extent permitted taking into
93+
account Affirmer's express Statement of Purpose. In addition, to the
94+
extent the Waiver is so judged Affirmer hereby grants to each affected
95+
person a royalty-free, non transferable, non sublicensable, non exclusive,
96+
irrevocable and unconditional license to exercise Affirmer's Copyright and
97+
Related Rights in the Work (i) in all territories worldwide, (ii) for the
98+
maximum duration provided by applicable law or treaty (including future
99+
time extensions), (iii) in any current or future medium and for any number
100+
of copies, and (iv) for any purpose whatsoever, including without
101+
limitation commercial, advertising or promotional purposes (the
102+
"License"). The License shall be deemed effective as of the date CC0 was
103+
applied by Affirmer to the Work. Should any part of the License for any
104+
reason be judged legally invalid or ineffective under applicable law, such
105+
partial invalidity or ineffectiveness shall not invalidate the remainder
106+
of the License, and in such case Affirmer hereby affirms that he or she
107+
will not (i) exercise any of his or her remaining Copyright and Related
108+
Rights in the Work or (ii) assert any associated claims and causes of
109+
action with respect to the Work, in either case contrary to Affirmer's
110+
express Statement of Purpose.
111+
112+
4. **Limitations and Disclaimers.**
113+
114+
a. No trademark or patent rights held by Affirmer are waived, abandoned,
115+
surrendered, licensed or otherwise affected by this document.
116+
b. Affirmer offers the Work as-is and makes no representations or
117+
warranties of any kind concerning the Work, express, implied,
118+
statutory or otherwise, including without limitation warranties of
119+
title, merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non
120+
infringement, or the absence of latent or other defects, accuracy, or
121+
the present or absence of errors, whether or not discoverable, all to
122+
the greatest extent permissible under applicable law.
123+
c. Affirmer disclaims responsibility for clearing rights of other persons
124+
that may apply to the Work or any use thereof, including without
125+
limitation any person's Copyright and Related Rights in the Work.
126+
Further, Affirmer disclaims responsibility for obtaining any necessary
127+
consents, permissions or other rights required for any use of the
128+
Work.
129+
d. Affirmer understands and acknowledges that Creative Commons is not a
130+
party to this document and has no duty or obligation with respect to
131+
this CC0 or use of the Work.
