status by, the Licensor or others designated to receive attribution as provided | |

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. | |

<h3>Section 5 - Disclaimer of Warranties and Limitation of Liability.</h3> | |
<ol style="list-style-type: lower-alpha"> | |
<li style="font-weight: bold"> | |
Unless otherwise separately undertaken by the Licensor, to the extent possible, the | |
Licensor offers the Licensed Material as-is and as-available, and makes no representations | |
or warranties of any kind concerning the Licensed Material, whether express, implied, | |
statutory, or other. This includes, without limitation, 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, | |

To the 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. | |
</li> | |
<li> | |

interpreted in a manner that, to the extent possible, most closely approximates an | |
absolute disclaimer and waiver of all liability. | |

</li> | |
<li>upon express reinstatement by the Licensor.</li> | |
</ol> | |

may have to seek remedies for Your violations of this Public License. | |
</p> | |
</li> | |
<li> | |
For the avoidance of doubt, the Licensor may also offer the Licensed Material under | |

<li> | |
Sections 1, 5, 6, 7, and 8 survive termination of this Public License. | |

consented to unless expressly agreed to by the Licensor. | |
