- exercise his moral right to the extent allowed by law in order to make effective
- the licence of the economic rights here above listed.
- The Licensor grants to the Licensee royalty-free, non-exclusive usage rights to

- The grant of the rights mentioned above is subject to some restrictions and
- obligations imposed on the Licensee. Those obligations are the following:
- Attribution right: The Licensee shall keep intact all copyright, patent or
- trademarks notices and all notices that refer to the Licence and to the
- disclaimer of warranties. The Licensee must include a copy of such notices and a
- copy of the Licence with every copy of the Work he/she distributes or
- communicates. The Licensee must cause any Derivative Work to carry prominent
- notices stating that the Work has been modified and the date of modification.
- Copyleft clause: If the Licensee distributes or communicates copies of the
- Original Works or Derivative Works, this Distribution or Communication will be
- done under the terms of this Licence or of a later version of this Licence
- unless the Original Work is expressly distributed only under this version of the
- Licence — for example by communicating ‘EUPL v. 1.2 only’. The Licensee
- (becoming Licensor) cannot offer or impose any additional terms or conditions on
- the Work or Derivative Work that alter or restrict the terms of the Licence.
- Compatibility clause: If the Licensee Distributes or Communicates Derivative
- Works or copies thereof based upon both the Work and another work licensed under

- terms of this Compatible Licence. For the sake of this clause, ‘Compatible
- Licence’ refers to the licences listed in the appendix attached to this Licence.
- Should the Licensee's obligations under the Compatible Licence conflict with
- his/her obligations under this Licence, the obligations of the Compatible
- Licence shall prevail.
- Provision of Source Code: When distributing or communicating copies of the Work,
- the Licensee will provide a machine-readable copy of the Source Code or indicate
- a repository where this Source will be easily and freely available for as long
- as the Licensee continues to distribute or communicate the Work.
- Legal Protection: This Licence does not grant permission to use the trade names,
- trademarks, service marks, or names of the Licensor, except as required for
- reasonable and customary use in describing the origin of the Work and
- reproducing the content of the copyright notice.
- 6. Chain of Authorship
- The original Licensor warrants that the copyright in the Original Work granted
- hereunder is owned by him/her or licensed to him/her and that he/she has the
- power and authority to grant the Licence.
- Each Contributor warrants that the copyright in the modifications he/she brings
- to the Work are owned by him/her or licensed to him/her and that he/she has the
- power and authority to grant the Licence.
- Each time You accept the Licence, the original Licensor and subsequent
- Contributors grant You a licence to their contributions to the Work, under the
- terms of this Licence.
- 7. Disclaimer of Warranty
- The Work is a work in progress, which is continuously improved by numerous
- Contributors. It is not a finished work and may therefore contain defects or
- ‘bugs’ inherent to this type of development.
- For the above reason, the Work is provided under the Licence on an ‘as is’ basis
- and without warranties of any kind concerning the Work, including without
- limitation merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, absence of defects
- or errors, accuracy, non-infringement of intellectual property rights other than
- copyright as stated in Article 6 of this Licence.
- This disclaimer of warranty is an essential part of the Licence and a condition
- for the grant of any rights to the Work.
- 8. Disclaimer of Liability
- Except in the cases of wilful misconduct or damages directly caused to natural
- persons, the Licensor will in no event be liable for any direct or indirect,
- material or moral, damages of any kind, arising out of the Licence or of the use
- of the Work, including without limitation, damages for loss of goodwill, work
- stoppage, computer failure or malfunction, loss of data or any commercial
- damage, even if the Licensor has been advised of the possibility of such damage.
- However, the Licensor will be liable under statutory product liability laws as
- far such laws apply to the Work.
- 9. Additional agreements
- While distributing the Work, You may choose to conclude an additional agreement,
- defining obligations or services consistent with this Licence. However, if
- accepting obligations, You may act only on your own behalf and on your sole
- responsibility, not on behalf of the original Licensor or any other Contributor,
- and only if You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold each Contributor harmless
- for any liability incurred by, or claims asserted against such Contributor by
- the fact You have accepted any warranty or additional liability.
- 10. Acceptance of the Licence
- The provisions of this Licence can be accepted by clicking on an icon ‘I agree’
- placed under the bottom of a window displaying the text of this Licence or by
- affirming consent in any other similar way, in accordance with the rules of
- applicable law. Clicking on that icon indicates your clear and irrevocable

- regarding the Licensor, the Licence and the way it may be accessible, concluded,

- 13. Miscellaneous
- Without prejudice of Article 9 above, the Licence represents the complete
- agreement between the Parties as to the Work.
- If any provision of the Licence is invalid or unenforceable under applicable
- law, this will not affect the validity or enforceability of the Licence as a
- whole. Such provision will be construed or reformed so as necessary to make it
- valid and enforceable.
- The European Commission may publish other linguistic versions or new versions of
- this Licence or updated versions of the Appendix, so far this is required and
- reasonable, without reducing the scope of the rights granted by the Licence. New
- versions of the Licence will be published with a unique version number.
- All linguistic versions of this Licence, approved by the European Commission,
- have identical value. Parties can take advantage of the linguistic version of
- their choice.
- 14. Jurisdiction
- Without prejudice to specific agreement between parties,
- - any litigation resulting from the interpretation of this License, arising
- between the European Union institutions, bodies, offices or agencies, as a
- Licensor, and any Licensee, will be subject to the jurisdiction of the Court
- of Justice of the European Union, as laid down in article 272 of the Treaty on
- the Functioning of the European Union,
- - any litigation arising between other parties and resulting from the
- interpretation of this License, will be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction
- of the competent court where the Licensor resides or conducts its primary
- business.
- 15. Applicable Law
- Without prejudice to specific agreement between parties,
- - this Licence shall be governed by the law of the European Union Member State
