Legal Code (Full Licence)

The Work (as defined below) is provided under the terms of this Creative Commons Public Licence ("Licence") which is entered into between You and the Licensor (both of which are defined below). The Work is protected by copyright and/or other intellectual property rights under the terms of applicable law. Any use of the Work other than as authorised under this Licence is prohibited.

 By accessing the Work provided here, You accept and agree to be bound by the terms of this Licence. The Licensor grants You the rights contained here in consideration of your acceptance of such terms and conditions.

 1. Definitions 

a.       "Collective Work" means a work, such as a periodical issue, anthology or encyclopaedia, in which the Work in its entirety in unmodified form, along with a number of other contributions, constituting separate and independent works in themselves, are assembled into a collective whole. A work that constitutes a Collective Work will not be considered a Derivative Work (as defined below) for the purposes of this Licence.

 b.      "Derivative Work" means a work based upon the Work or upon the Work and other pre-existing works, such as a translation, musical arrangement, dramatisation, fictionalisation, motion picture version, sound recording, art reproduction, abridgment, condensation, or any other form in which the Work may be recast, transformed, or adapted, except that a work that constitutes a Collective Work will not be considered a Derivative Work for the purpose of this Licence.

 c.       "Licensor" means the individual or entity that offers the Work under the terms of this Licence, which will be notified to you when You access the Work.

d.      "Original Author" means the individual or entity who created the Work.

 e.       "Work" means the work protected by copyright which is offered under the terms of this Licence.

 f.        "You" means an individual or entity which is exercising rights under this Licence and who has not previously violated the terms of this Licence with respect to the Work, or who has received express written permission from the Licensor, to exercise rights under this Licence despite a previous violation.

2. Fair Dealing  Nothing in this Licence is intended to reduce, limit or restrict your right to use the Works as permitted by Chapter III of the Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988 as amended from time to time (including without limitation your rights to use the work based on rights of fair dealing).

3. Licence Grant. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Licence, Licensor hereby grants You a worldwide, royalty-free, non-exclusive licence for the duration of the applicable copyright to exercise the rights in the Work in accordance with applicable law as stated below:

 a.   to copy the Work and issues copies of the Work to the public, to incorporate the Work into one or more Collective Works and to copy the Work as incorporated in the Collective Works and issue such copies to the public;

b.   to create Derivative Works and issue copies to the public;

 c.   to distribute copies of, display publicly and/or perform publicly the Work including as incorporated in Collective Works; and

 d.   to distribute copies of, display publicly and/or perform publicly Derivative Works.

The above rights may be exercised in all media and formats whether now known or hereafter devised. The above rights include the right to make such modifications as are technically necessary to exercise the rights in other media and formats. All rights not expressly granted by Licensor are hereby reserved.

4. Restrictions. The licence granted in Clause 3 above is expressly subject to and limited by the following restrictions:

 a.       You may distribute, publicly display and/or publicly perform the Work provided that You (i) only do so under the terms of this Licence and include a copy of, or the Uniform Resource Identifier for, this Licence with every copy of the Work that You distribute, publicly display and/or publicly perform; and (ii) expressly state that the Work is made available by the Licensor under these terms. You may not offer or impose any terms on any other person’s use of the Work that alter or restrict the terms of this Licence or the recipients' exercise of the rights granted hereunder. You may not sublicense the Work. You must keep intact all notices that refer to this Licence and any of its terms. You may not distribute, publicly display or publicly perform the Work with any technological measures that control access or use of the Work in a manner inconsistent with the terms of this Licence Agreement. The above applies to the Work as incorporated in a Collective Work, but this does not require the Collective Work apart from the Work itself to be made subject to the terms of this Licence. If You create a Collective Work, immediately upon notice from any Licensor You must, to the extent practicable, remove from the Collective Work any reference to the Licensor or the Original Author, as requested. If You create a Derivative Work, immediately upon notice from any Licensor You must, to the extent practicable, remove from the Derivative Work any reference to such Licensor or the Original Author, as requested.

 b.      You may distribute, publicly display and/or publicly perform a Derivative Work provided that You (i) only do so under the terms of this Licence and include a copy of, or the Uniform Resource Identifier for, this Licence with every copy of the Derivative Work that You distribute, publicly display and/or publicly perform; and (ii) expressly state that the Derivative Work is made available by the Licensor under these terms. You may not offer or impose any terms on the Derivative Works that alter or restrict the terms of this Licence or the recipients' exercise of the rights granted hereunder and You must keep intact all notices that refer to this Licence and any of its terms. You may not distribute, publicly display or publicly perform the Derivative Work with any technological measures that control access or use of the Work in a manner inconsistent with the terms of this Licence Agreement. The above applies to the Derivative Work as incorporated in a Collective Work, but this does not require the Collective Work apart from the Derivative Work itself to be made subject to the terms of this Licence.

 c.       You may not exercise any of the rights granted to You in Section 3 above in any manner that is primarily intended for or directed towards commercial advantage or monetary compensation

d.      The Original Authors assert their moral rights in relation to the Works. If you distribute, publicly display or publicly perform the Work or any Derivative Works or Collective Works, You must keep intact all copyright notices for the Work and give each of the Original Author and the Licensor a credit reasonable to the medium or means You are utilising by conveying the name (or pseudonym if applicable) of the Licensor and Original Author if supplied; the title of the Work if supplied; in the case of a Derivative Work, a credit identifying the use of the Work in the Derivative Work (e.g., "French translation of the Work by Original Author," or "Screenplay based on original Work by Original Author"). Such credit may be implemented in any reasonable manner; provided, however, that in the case of a Derivative Work or Collective Work, at a minimum such credit will appear where any other comparable authorship credit appears and in a manner at least as prominent as such other comparable authorship credit.

5. Representations, Warranties and Disclaimer

6. Limitation on Liability. With the exception of (i) liability which may not be excluded or limited by applicable law (including without limitation death or personal injury caused by breach of duty); and (ii) liability that You may incur to a third party resulting from breach of the warranties in Section 5(a), in no event will Licensor be liable to You for any incidental, indirect or consequential loss or damage arising out of this Licence or the use of the Work, whether such losses were foreseeable, known or otherwise.

 d.      No term or provision of this Licence shall be deemed waived and no breach consented to unless such waiver or consent shall be in writing and signed by the party to be charged with such waiver or consent.

 e.       Subject to Clause 8(f) below, this Licence constitutes the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the Work, and the parties acknowledge that there are no understandings or agreements with respect to the Work not specified here, and that they have not relied upon any representation or statement  not contained in the Licence.
