in the Licensed Material to:

A. reproduce and Share the Licensed Material, in whole or in part,
for NonCommercial purposes only; and

B. produce, reproduce, and Share Adapted Material for NonCommercial
purposes only.

2. Exceptions and Limitations. For the avoidance of doubt, where

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.

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 reserves the 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:

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.

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. The condition in Section 3(a) does not apply to Adapted
Material licensed under Adapted Material's Adapter's License.

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 and Limitation of Liability.

a. Unless the Licensor separately assumes responsibility for the Licensed
Material, to the maximum extent possible, the Licensed Material is
provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis. The Licensor makes
no warranties or representations of any kind concerning the Licensed
Material, whether express, implied, statutory, or other. This includes,
without limitation, any 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 maximum 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 in
this Section 5 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 are automatically
terminated.

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 be bound by any additional or different terms or
conditions communicated by You under Section 4(a) of the Creative
Commons Attribution-NonCommercial 4.0 International License.

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 modified to the
minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable. If the provision
cannot be modified, it shall be deemed severed from this Public License
without affecting the validity of the remaining terms and conditions.

c. No term or condition of this Public License will be waived and no
failure to comply with it 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.
