CREATIVE COMMONS CORPORATION IS NOT A LAW FIRM AND DOES NOT PROVIDE
8+
LEGAL SERVICES. DISTRIBUTION OF THIS DOCUMENT DOES NOT CREATE AN
9+
ATTORNEY-CLIENT RELATIONSHIP. CREATIVE COMMONS PROVIDES THIS
10+
INFORMATION ON AN "AS-IS" BASIS. CREATIVE COMMONS MAKES NO WARRANTIES
11+
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

HEREUNDER.
15+
16+
Statement of Purpose
17+
18+
The laws of most jurisdictions throughout the world automatically confer
19+
exclusive Copyright and Related Rights (defined below) upon the creator
20+
and subsequent owner(s) (each and all, an "owner") of an original work of
21+
authorship and/or a database (each, a "Work").
22+
23+
Certain owners wish to permanently relinquish those rights to a Work for
24+
the purpose of contributing to a commons of creative, cultural and
25+
scientific works ("Commons") that the public can reliably and without fear
26+
of later claims of infringement build upon, modify, incorporate in other
27+
works, reuse and redistribute as freely as possible in any form whatsoever
28+
and for any purposes, including without limitation commercial purposes.
29+
These owners may contribute to the Commons to promote the ideal of a free
30+
culture and the further production of creative, cultural and scientific
31+
works, or to gain reputation or greater distribution for their Work in
32+
part through the use and efforts of others.
33+
34+
For these and/or other purposes and motivations, and without any
35+
expectation of additional consideration or compensation, the person
36+
associating CC0 with a Work (the "Affirmer"), to the extent that he or she
37+
is an owner of Copyright and Related Rights in the Work, voluntarily
38+
elects to apply CC0 to the Work and publicly distribute the Work under its
39+
terms, with knowledge of his or her Copyright and Related Rights in the
40+
Work and the meaning and intended legal effect of CC0 on those rights.
41+
42+
1. Copyright and Related Rights. A Work made available under CC0 may be
43+
protected by copyright and related or neighboring rights ("Copyright and
44+
Related Rights"). Copyright and Related Rights include, but are not
45+
limited to, the following:
46+
47+
i. the right to reproduce, adapt, distribute, perform, display,
48+
communicate, and translate a Work;
49+
ii. moral rights retained by the original author(s) and/or performer(s);
50+
iii. publicity and privacy rights pertaining to a person's image or
51+
likeness depicted in a Work;
52+
iv. rights protecting against unfair competition in regards to a Work,
53+
subject to the limitations in paragraph 4(a), below;
54+
v. rights protecting the extraction, dissemination, use and reuse of data
55+
in a Work;
56+
vi. database rights (such as those arising under Directive 96/9/EC of the
57+
European Parliament and of the Council of 11 March 1996 on the legal
58+
protection of databases, and under any national implementation
59+
thereof, including any amended or successor version of such
60+
directive); and
61+
vii. other similar, equivalent or corresponding rights throughout the
62+
world based on applicable law or treaty, and any national
63+
implementations thereof.
64+
65+
2. Waiver. To the greatest extent permitted by, but not in contravention
66+
of, applicable law, Affirmer hereby overtly, fully, permanently,
67+
irrevocably and unconditionally waives, abandons, and surrenders all of
68+
Affirmer's Copyright and Related Rights and associated claims and causes
69+
of action, whether now known or unknown (including existing as well as
70+
future claims and causes of action), in the Work (i) in all territories
71+
worldwide, (ii) for the maximum duration provided by applicable law or
72+
treaty (including future time extensions), (iii) in any current or future
73+
medium and for any number of copies, and (iv) for any purpose whatsoever,
74+
including without limitation commercial, advertising or promotional
75+
purposes (the "Waiver"). Affirmer makes the Waiver for the benefit of each
76+
member of the public at large and to the detriment of Affirmer's heirs and
77+
successors, fully intending that such Waiver shall not be subject to
78+
revocation, rescission, cancellation, termination, or any other legal or
79+
equitable action to disrupt the quiet enjoyment of the Work by the public
80+
as contemplated by Affirmer's express Statement of Purpose.
81+
82+
3. Public License Fallback. Should any part of the Waiver for any reason
83+
be judged legally invalid or ineffective under applicable law, then the
84+
Waiver shall be preserved to the maximum extent permitted taking into
85+
account Affirmer's express Statement of Purpose. In addition, to the
86+
extent the Waiver is so judged Affirmer hereby grants to each affected
87+
person a royalty-free, non transferable, non sublicensable, non exclusive,
88+
irrevocable and unconditional license to exercise Affirmer's Copyright and
89+
Related Rights in the Work (i) in all territories worldwide, (ii) for the
90+
maximum duration provided by applicable law or treaty (including future
91+
time extensions), (iii) in any current or future medium and for any number
92+
of copies, and (iv) for any purpose whatsoever, including without
93+
limitation commercial, advertising or promotional purposes (the
94+
"License"). The License shall be deemed effective as of the date CC0 was
95+
applied by Affirmer to the Work. Should any part of the License for any
96+
reason be judged legally invalid or ineffective under applicable law, such
97+
partial invalidity or ineffectiveness shall not invalidate the remainder
98+
of the License, and in such case Affirmer hereby affirms that he or she
99+
will not (i) exercise any of his or her remaining Copyright and Related
100+
Rights in the Work or (ii) assert any associated claims and causes of
101+
action with respect to the Work, in either case contrary to Affirmer's
102+
express Statement of Purpose.
103+
104+
4. Limitations and Disclaimers.
105+
106+
a. No trademark or patent rights held by Affirmer are waived, abandoned,
107+
surrendered, licensed or otherwise affected by this document.
108+
b. Affirmer offers the Work as-is and makes no representations or
109+
warranties of any kind concerning the Work, express, implied,
110+
statutory or otherwise, including without limitation warranties of
111+
title, merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non
112+
infringement, or the absence of latent or other defects, accuracy, or
113+
the present or absence of errors, whether or not discoverable, all to
114+
the greatest extent permissible under applicable law.
115+
c. Affirmer disclaims responsibility for clearing rights of other persons
116+
that may apply to the Work or any use thereof, including without
117+
limitation any person's Copyright and Related Rights in the Work.
118+
Further, Affirmer disclaims responsibility for obtaining any necessary
119+
consents, permissions or other rights required for any use of the
120+
Work.
121+
d. Affirmer understands and acknowledges that Creative Commons is not a
122+
party to this document and has no duty or obligation with respect to
123+
this CC0 or use of the Work.
